Before Use (Continued)
Precautions
Handling the unit
Shipping the unit
The original shipping carton and packing materials
come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the
unit as it was originally packaged at the factory.
Setting up the unit
The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio
may be distorted during playback. In this case, position
the unit away from the TV, VCR, or radio, or turn off the
unit after removing the disc.
Keeping unit surfaces clean
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray,
near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in
contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will
leave marks on the surface.
Cleaning the unit
Cleaning the cabinet
Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty,
use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol,
benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface
of the unit.
To obtain a clear picture
The DVD & Hi-Fi VCR Home Theater is a high-tech,
precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc
drive parts are dirty or worn, the picture quality will be
poor.
Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended
after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the
operating environment.)
For details, please contact your nearest dealer.
Notes on Discs
Disc handling
Do not touch the playback side of the disc.
Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not
get on the surface.
Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.
Storing discs
After playing, store the disc in its case.
Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of
heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sunlight, as there may be a considerable heat build-up
inside the car.
Cleaning discs
Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor picture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean
the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the center outward.
Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,
thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static
spray intended for older vinyl records.

Connections (Continued)
Speaker System Connections
Connect the speakers using the supplied speaker cords.
To obtain the best possible surround sound, adjust the speaker parameters,e.g., distance, level, etc.
otes
Be sure to match the speaker cable to the appropriate terminal on the connectors: + to + and – to –. If the cables are reversed,
the sound will be distorted and will lack bass.
When making the sound louder, adjust the sound level carefully to avoid excessive volume output to the speakers.
Only 2-channel stereo (Front Left, Front Right & Subwoofer) is available in VCR mode, thus sound might not be heard from
center or rear speakers during VCR playback. (For further details about sound mode, please refer to next page.)
Do not remove the front covers of the supplied speakers.
Speaker Positioning
For a normal setup, use 6 speakers (2 front speakers,
center speaker, 2 rear speakers, and subwoofer).
If you want to hear excellent bass sound or Dolby Digital
surround, you should connect a subwoofer.
• Front speakers
From your listening position, place the speakers an equal distance away and with an interval of 45 degrees between
speakers.
• Center speaker
It is ideal if the center speaker and front speakers are at the
same height. You would normally place the center speaker
above or below the television as shown.
• Rear speakers
Place left and right behind the listening area. These speakers
recreate sound motion and atmosphere required for surround
sound playback. For best results, do not install the rear
speakers too far behind the listening position and install them
at or above the level of the listener’s ears. It is also effective to
direct the rear speakers towards a wall or ceiling to further disperse the sound.
• Subwoofer
This can be placed in any front position.
