PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION

THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS A LOW POWER LASER DEVICE, TO ENSURE CONTINUED SAFETY DO NOT REMOVE ANY COVERS OR
ATTEMPT TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE INSIDE OF THE PRODUCT. REFER ALL SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.

- The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

- No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the
apparatus.

- Do not use where there are extremes of temperature (below 5°C or
exceeding 35°C) or where direct sunlight may strike it.

- Because of the DVD player’s extremely low noise and wide dynamic
range, there might be a tendency to set the volume on the amplifier
unnecessarily high. Doing so may produce an excessively large
output from the amplifier which could damage your speakers.

- Sudden changes in the ambient temperature may cause condensation
to form on the optical lens inside the unit. If this happens, take out the
disc, leave the unit for about 2 hours, and then proceed to operate.

- When carrying the unit, be sure to remove a disc which may be inside
and turn the power off. Wait at least 10 seconds, then unplug the mains
lead from the AC outlet. Carrying the unit with a disc inside may
damage the disc and/or the unit.

- Do not install this equipment in a confined space, such as a book case
or built in cabinet.

- The unit is automatically set to the screen saver mode after
approximately 5 minutes have elapsed under the stop or pause mode.

- Placing the unit in a well ventilated area is strongly recommended.
Do not place any object on the top of the unit.
Do not block ventilation holes.
The cabinet of the unit warms up when it is used for a long time, but
it is not a malfunction.

Important Information:
To connect this unit to a TV, TV must have a Video input socket or an
EURO-AV/SCART socket. You cannot use an RF input socket or aerial
terminal to connect this unit.

The centre and front left/right speakers have built-in magnetic stray field
compensation. They may be placed close to a TV without affecting the
colour purity.
Place the front left/right speakers either side of the TV.
Place the centre speaker directly above the TV.
The front, centre, and surround speakers should be placed at approximately
the same distance from the listening position.

The surround left/right speakers and subwoofer do not have build-in
magnetic stray field compensation.
Keep enough distance between the subwoofer and the TV so as not to
garble the TV screen.
Place the surround speakers either sides of the listening position, or
slightly to the rear, approximately 60 cm ~ 1 meter higher than ear level.

Aerial connections

FM external aerial

AM loop aerial

Aerial wire

In areas close to a transmitter the simple indoor aerial is sufficient to
receive broadcasts. Extend the aerial wire as straight as possible and,
while listening to the sound from the system, secure it in a position which
yields minimal distortion and noise.
In fringe areas or where reception is distorted or noisy, an FM external
aerial (not supplied) should be connected instead of the simple indoor
aerial. Consult your dealer.

AM loop aerial

Assemble the loop aerial.

Unwind the aerial wires, then connect the plug to the AM LOOP terminal.
If you have difficulty inserting the plug, turn it over and reinsert it. Place the
loop aerial in a position which yields the best AM reception, or attach it to
a wall or other surface.

Screws (not supplied)

Note:
To minimize noise, the speaker, mains and any other leads should not
come close to the indoor or external aerial lead and AM loop aerial. Do not
place the aerial leads close to the system.

Connecting to a TV with the video lead

Connect the video lead between the VIDEO OUT socket of the unit and the video input socket of the TV.

TV

Video lead

Notes on connections

- Please refer to the instruction manuals for the equipments that you are connecting (TV, VCR, etc.).

- When you connect the unit to your TV and other equipment, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect all of the equipments from the AC outlet until
all the connections have been made.

- Do not connect the VIDEO OUT, COMPONENT VIDEO OUT and AV EURO (RGB OUT)/TV (AUDIO) IN sockets of the unit to a VCR directly.
The playback picture will be distorted because DVD discs are copy protected.

- Please consult your local audio/video dealer for more details.
