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.

- 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

power plug must be easily and readily accessible at all
times.

• Do not touch the power plug with a wet hand.

resulting in a fire.

• 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

two hours, and then connect the plug to the power
outlet. Then, insert the disc, and try to play back
again.

• 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.

Using the 3D Function

IMPORTANT HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION FOR
3D PICTURES.
Read and understand the following safety information
before using the 3D function.

• Some viewers may experience discomfort while viewing
3D TV such as dizziness, nausea, and headaches.
If you experience any such symptom, stop viewing 3D
TV, remove the 3D Active Glasses, and rest.

• Watching 3D images for an extended period of time
may cause eye strain. If you feel eye strain, stop
viewing 3D TV, remove your 3D Active Glasses, and
rest.

• A responsible adult should frequently check on children
who are using the 3D function.
If there are any reports of tired eyes, headaches,
dizziness, or nausea, have the child stop viewing 3D
TV and rest.

• Do not use the 3D Active Glasses for other purposes
(such as general eyeglasses, sunglasses, protective
goggles, etc.)

• Do not use the 3D function or 3D Active Glasses while
walking or moving around. Using the 3D function or 3D
Active Glasses while moving around may cause you to
bump into objects, trip, and/or fall, and cause serious
injury.

• If you want to enjoy 3D content, connect a 3D device
(3D compliant AV receiver or TV) to the product’s HDMI
OUT port using a high-speed HDMI cable. Put on 3D
glasses before playing the 3D content.

• The product outputs 3D signals only through HDMI
cable connected to the HDMI OUT port.

• As the video resolution in 3D play mode is fixed
according to the resolution of the original 3D video, you
can not change the resolution to your preference.

• Some functions such as BD Wise, screen size
adjustment, and resolution adjustment may not operate
properly in 3D play mode.

• You must use a high-speed HDMI cable for proper
output of the 3D signal.

• Stay at least three times the width of the screen from
the TV when watching 3D images. For example, if
you have a 46 inch screen, stay 3.5 meters from the
screen.

• Place the 3D video screen at eye level for the best 3D
picture.

• When the product is connected to some 3D devices,
the 3D effect may not function properly.

• This product does not convert 2D content into 3D.

Position of the product

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

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.

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.

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.

| CAUTION |

If you want to install the product on the wall, fasten the screws or nails on the wall firmly and use the holes on the



substances into the duct (hole) of the subwoofer speaker.
Do not hang the subwoofer on the wall using the duct (hole).



The wireless receiving antenna is built into the wireless receiver module. Keep it away from water and moisture.



For optimal listening performance, make sure that the area around the wireless receiver module location is clear of



| NOTES |

If you place a speaker near your TV set, the screen colour may be distorted because of the magnetic field.



Place the wireless receiver module at the rear of the listening position. If the wireless receiver module is too close to



the product, sound from the speakers may be disrupted because of interference.
If you use a device such as a microwave oven, wireless LAN Card, Bluetooth equipment or any other device that uses



the 2.4/5.8GHz frequencies near the product, sound from the speakers may be disrupted because of interference.
The maximum transmission distance from the product to the wireless receiver module is about 10m, but may vary



depending on your operating environment. If a steel-concrete wall or metallic wall is between the product and the
wireless receiver module, the system may not operate at all, because the radio wave cannot penetrate metal.
If the product doesn't make a wireless connection, you need to run an ID Set between the product and wireless



receiver module. With the product turned off, press "0""1""3""5" on the remote control. Turn on the wireless
receiver module. Then, press and hold the “ID SET” button on the back of the wireless receiver module for 5
