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.
IMPORTANT
If the plug supplied with this equipment is not suitable for the socket outlets in your home it should be cut off and replaced with the correct type.
Disposal of Plug
If the non rewireable plug is to be cut off, the removed plug should be disposed of carefully as there is a shock hazard should the plug be inserted into a live socket.
Replacing Fuse
The detachable fuse cover must be replaced after changing the fuse. Only a 3A fuse should be used and should comply with BS1362 and should carry the ASTA mark 
.
-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.
Note:
The angles in the diagramme are approximate.

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.
