Wiring the Main Power Supply Plug (UK Only)

IMPORTANT NOTICE

The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse. The value of the fuse is indicated on the pin face of the plug and if it requires replacing, a fuse approved to BS1362 of the same rating must be used. Never use the plug with the fuse cover removed. If the cover is detachable and a replacement is required, it must be of the same colour as the fuse fitted in the plug. Replacement covers are available from your dealer. If the fitted plug is not suitable for the power points in your house or the cable is not long enough to reach a power point, you should obtain a suitable safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer for assistance. However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the plug. Do not connect the plug to a mains socket as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible cord. Never attempt to insert bare wires directly into a mains socket. A plug and fuse must be used at all times.

IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:– BLUE = NEUTRAL BROWN = LIVE As these colours may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:–The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured BLUE or BLACK. The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured BROWN or RED.

WARNING :

DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH LETTER E OR BY THE EARTH

SYMBOL

, OR COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN AND YELLOW.

Disc Storage & Management

• Holding Discs

- Fingerprints or scratches on a disc may reduce sound and picture quality or cause skipping.

- Avoid touching the surface of a disc where data has been recorded.

- Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not get on the surface.

- Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

• Cleaning Discs

- If you get fingerprints or dirt on a disc, clean it with a mild detergent diluted in water and wipe with a soft cloth.

- When cleaning, wipe gently from the inside to the outside of the disc.

- Disc Storage

vertically.

Handling Cautions

• Do not expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing. Do not put objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus.

• To turn this apparatus off completely, you must pull the power plug out of the wall socket. Consequently, the power plug must be easily and readily accessible at all times.

• Do not touch the power plug with a wet hand. It can cause an electric shock.

• Maintenance of the Cabinet

- Before connecting other components to this product, be sure to turn them off.

- If you move your product suddenly from a cold place to a warm place, condensation may occur on the operating parts and lens and cause abnormal disc playback.

• If the product makes an abnormal noise or produces a burning smell or smoke, turn off the power switch immediately and disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet. Then, contact the nearest customer service centre for technical assistance. Do not use the product. Using the product as it is may cause a fire or an electric shock.

Getting Started

Connections

This section describes various methods of connecting the product to other external components. Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.

Connecting the Speakers

Position of the product

Place it on a stand or cabinet shelf, or under the TV stand.

Subwoofer

Front (L)

Surround (L)

Front Speakers

Centre

Front (R)

Product

Place these speakers in front of your listening position, facing inwards (about 45°) toward you. Place the front speakers so that their tweeters will be at the same height as your ear. Align the front face of the front speakers with the front face of the centre speaker or place them slightly in front of the centre speakers.

Surround (R)

Selecting the Listening Position

The listening position should be located about 2.5 to 3 times the distance of the TV's screen size away from the TV. For example, if you have a 46 inch screen, locate the listening position 2.92 to 3.50 meters from the screen.

Centre Speaker

Surround Speakers

Subwoofer

It is best to install the Centre Speaker at the same height as the front speakers. You can also install it directly over or under the TV.

Place these speakers to the side of your listening position. If there isn't enough room, place these speakers so they face each other. Position them about 60 to 90cm above your ear, facing slightly downward.

* Unlike the front and centre speakers, the surround speakers are used mainly for sound

effects. Sound will not come from them all the time.

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you like.
