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 DVD player 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 have 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.
During thunderstorms, disconnect AC main plug from the wall outlet. Voltage peaks due to lightning could damage the unit.
Do not expose the unit to direct sun radiation or other heat sources.
This could lead to overheating and malfunction of the unit.

Left rear speaker
Right rear speaker
Right front speaker
Center speaker
Check the location of the terminals on the main unit and on the rear of the speakers before connecting the Front, Rear, and Center Speakers.

Ideal Speaker Placement
Front Speakers
Center Speaker
Rear Speakers
Subwoofer Speaker
Set the front speakers so that their tweeters (high-range) are aligned at about ear level and at a horizontal angle of 45° to the prime listening position.
Ideally the center speaker should be positioned with its top surface flush with the front speakers. However, you may place the speaker either on top or near the bottom of your TV set. Vibration caused by the center speaker can disrupt the picture if it is placed directly on the television. Put the center speaker on a rack or shelf.
Place the subwoofer on the floor near the TV or mount it on a rack, free from vibration and instability.
Set the rear speakers further back, parallel to the walls, at 60 to 90 centimeters (2 to 3 feet) above prime listening position ear level. If the space behind the listening position is insufficient (i.e., too close to the wall), place the rear speakers facing each other on either side.
After installation is complete, tie up or taping down long, loose electrical cords.
Please refer to the KLIPSCH Operation Manual for details on using the speakers.
