Safety Warnings Precautions

Ensure that the AC power supply in your house complies with the identification sticker located on the back of your player. Install your
player horizontally, on a suitable base (furniture), with enough space around it for ventilation (3~4inches). Make sure the ventilation
slots are not covered. Do not stack anything on top of the player. Do not place the player on amplifiers or other equipment which may
become hot. Before moving the player, ensure the disc tray is empty. This player is designed for continuous use. Switching off the
Home Theater to the stand-by mode does not disconnect the electrical supply. In order to disconnect the player completely from the
power
supply, remove the main plug from the wall outlet, especially when left unused for a long period of time.

Protect the player from moisture(i.e. vases) , and excess heat
(e.g.fireplace) or equipment creating strong magnetic or electric fields
(i.e.speakers...). Disconnect the power cable from the AC supply if the
player malfunctions. Your player is not intended for industrial use.

Use of this product is for personal use only.
Condensation may occur if your player or disc has been stored in cold

temperatures.
If transporting the player during the winter, wait approximately 2 hours

until the unit has reached room temperature before using.

Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or other heat
sources.

This could lead to overheating and malfunction of the unit.

The batteries used with this product contain chemicals

that are harmful to the environment.

Do not dispose of batteries in the general household

Rear Speakers

•

Place these speakers behind your listening position.

•

If there isn't enough room, place these speakers so they face each
other.

•

Place them about 60 to 90cm (2 to 3feet) above your ear, facing
slightly downward.

*

Unlike the front and center speakers, the rear speakers are used
to handle mainly sound effects and sound will not come from
them all the time.

Subwoofer

•

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

Front Speakers

•

Place these speakers in front of your listening
position, facing inwards (about 45°) toward you.

•

Place the 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 center speaker or place them
slightly in front of the center speakers.

Center Speaker

•

It is best to install it at the same height as the front
speakers.

•

You can also install it directly over or under the TV.

Position of the Home Theater

•

Place it on a stand, 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. Example: For 32" TVs 2~2.4m (6~8 feet)

For 55" TVs 3.5~4m (11~13 feet)
