Safety Instructions

CAUTION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE REAR COVER. NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

This symbol is intended to alert you to the presence of dangerous voltage within the product.

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. If it requires replacing, a fuse approved to BS1362 of the same rating must be used.

Never use the plug with the fuse cover omitted if the cover is detachable. If a replacement fuse cover is required, it must be of the same colour as the pin face of 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 asssistance.

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.

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 with 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 THE LETTER E OR BY THE EARTH SYMBOL , OR COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN AND YELLOW.

The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the unit’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

Do NOT expose the DVD-VCR to extreme temperature conditions (below 5°C and above 40°C) or to extreme humidity conditions (less than 10% and more than 75%).

Do NOT expose the DVD-VCR to direct sunlight.

Do NOT expose the DVD-VCR to any liquids.

Do NOT place any objects on the DVD-VCR or remote control

During a storm and/or lightning, unplug the DVD-VCR from the mains socket and aerial.

If the remote control is not used for a long period of time, remove the batteries and store it in a cool, dry place.

The lightning bolt is a warning sign alerting you to dangerous voltage inside the product.

DO NOT OPEN THE DVD-VCR. Refer to service personnel.

Attention : Installation should be performed by qualified service personnel only in accordance with the National Electrical Code or applicable local codes.

Power Disconnect. Units with or without ONOFF switches have power supplied to the unit whenever the power cord is inserted into the power source; however, the unit is operational only when the ON-OFF switch is in the On position. The power cord is the main power disconnect for all units.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

Warning To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose units

not specifically designed for outdoor use to rain or moisture.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC

Dolby Pro Logic is the stereo sound effect technology developed by Dolby Laboratories. With the sound direction emphasis circuit, it provides the experience of sound movement between front and rear and between left and right as in the theater system. The sound direction emphasis circuit separates the signals of four channels (front L/R, center, rear) to enhance to three-dimensional sound depth.

THEATER

It is the surround function of providing the effect of being immersed in the 3D sound field and the feeling of expansion as in the theater by reproducing the reflected sound and the reverberation in harmony.

STADIUM

It is the surround function of reproducing the unique tone that can be experienced only in the stadium, such as the reverberation and the sound delay between the stadium and the listener’s ear. Select this mode to feel the effect that the listener is in the stadium when watching the sports broadcasting or outdoor concert programs.

HALL

It is the surround function of reproducing the sound effect in the concert hall by realizing the spatial resonance and the reflected sound from different directions of the ceiling and the walls in the concert hall. Select this mode for enjoying the concert, opera or orchestra to feel the effect that the listener is in the concert hall.

Notes on Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG Installation of Speaker System

DOLBY DIGITAL 5.1CH

Dolby Digital is the three-dimensional sound effect technology through digital signal processing of the next generation, developed by Dolby Laboratories, and provides the sound completely split by six channels. Six channels in Dolby Digital are called as 5.1-channel, of which 5 means the front L/R, center and rear L/R channels. These five channels provide all audible frequency range of 20 – 20,000 Hz. Meanwhile, 0.1 channel means the subwoofer, providing the bass range below 120 Hz.

Digital symbol is marked on the DVD.

DTS 5.1CH

DTS is the technology developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. Like Dolby Digital, it also provides the sixchannel mode consisting of front L/R, center, rear L/R and subwoofer and the same frequency range. The difference between DTS and Dolby Digital lies in the data compression. Dolby Digital has a higher compression ratio than DTS, thus occupying less space in the storage media. On the other hand, DTS occupies larger space with a lower compression ratio but has gained a reputation that more emphasis is placed on the sound quality.

symbol is marked on the DVD.

MPEG 5.1CH

MPEG is a method of compression techniques for reproducing high quality of video and audio signals for digital TV or DVD. Like Dolby Digital and DTS, it provides the six-channel mode consisting of front L/R, center, rear L/R and subwoofer and the same frequency range. MPEG )l( Multichannel symbol is marked on the DVD.

DOLBY DIGITAL 2CH/DTS 2CH/MPEG 2CH

It is the function of integrating six channels into two channels for output so that the digital strips encoded in six channels can be made compatible with the conventional 2-channel stereo system. As this unit basically supports six channels, it may not be necessary to convert the input signals for 2-channel system, but if the DVD to be played is encoded in 2 channels, it is played in 2CH mode.

To achieve the optimum quality of the sound effect provided by this unit, it is very important to position the speakers properly. Refer to the following description for a better sound experience.

• Front L/R Speakers: Install the speakers on the left and right side in front of the listener at the height of the listener’s ears and arrange the speakers to aim at the listening position.

• Center Speaker: Install the speaker at the front center at the height of the listener’s ears.

• Surround L/R Speakers: Install the speakers on the left and right side in the rear of the listener at

the height of the listener’s ears and arrange the speakers to aim at the listening position.

• If the speakers cannot be positioned at the height of the listener’s ears because of the structure of

the room, install the speaker above the listener’s ears. Make sure that the speakers are placed to aim at the listening position.

• Subwoofer: Install the speaker on the floor in front of the listener.

Install the subwoofer on hard floor keeping a distance of at least 10cm to the wall.

Since there is a speaker on the left of the main unit, make sure that the left side is clear of any obstruction.

When installing the subwoofer, keep a distance of at least 10cm to the wall and at least 30cm to the TV.
