operation using the remote control.
Note:
This handling description is printed prior to product development.
When a part of the product specification must be changed to improve operability or other functions, priority is given to the product

SAFETY CERTIFICATION
This unit is made and tested to meet exacting safety
standards. It meets UL and FCC requirements and complies with safety performance standards of the U.S. Depart-
ment of Health and Human Services.
CAUTION - USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENTS
OR PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN
THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.
THIS UNIT SHOULD NOT BE ADJUSTED OR REPAIRED
BY ANYONE EXCEPT PROPERLY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
FCC INFORMATION
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
CAUTION:
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate this equipment.
Note:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
FOR SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION
• Do not damage the power cord.
• When not in use, disconnect the power cord from the outlet.
Grasp the plug, not the cord, when disconnecting the unit.
• If water should enter the unit, electrical shock or a malfunction
may result. Use in an area where there is low humidity and
little dust.
• Do not disassemble or alter the unit in any way.
• Do not use the unit in areas where extremes in temperature
occur (below 40°F (5°C) or exceeding 95°F (35°C)), or where
it may be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Because of the DVD video player’s extremely low noise and
wide dynamic range, there is a tendency to set the volume on
the amplifier higher than necessary. Doing so may produce
an excessively high output from the amplifier which can
cause damage to your speakers. Please be careful in this
regard.
• Sudden changes in the surrounding temperature can cause
dew to form on the optical pickup lens inside the unit. Under
this condition the unit may be unable to operate properly. If
this should occur, remove the disc and allow the unit to adjust
to the surrounding temperature.
• When carrying the unit, be sure to remove a disc which
may be inside and turn the power off. Then unplug the
power cord from the AC outlet after 10 seconds. Carrying
the unit with a disc inside may damage the disc and/or
the unit.
• The unit is automatically set to the Screen Saver mode
after approximately 5 minutes have elapsed under the
stop or pause mode.
CAUTION:
The sub-woofer (powered speaker) and the rear speaker
(powered speaker) must be placed in a well ventilated area.
Do not place any object on the top of these units.
Do not block ventilation holes.
The cabinet of these units warms up when it is used for a long
time, but it is not a malfunction.

WARNING FOR TRANSMITTER
Important Information!
1. Explicitly specify to all users the technical instructions and
the scope of use defined in the related documents and
provide the explanation about all the control methods,
adjusting procedures and usage of switches.
2. Do not change the emitter frequency nor boost the emitter
power (including the power of excess load wireless frequency
power amplifier). Do not put up an external antenna nor use
any other remodeled antenna.
3. In use of this unit, avoid any act which interferes with legal
wireless communication services. Should any interference
arise, immediately stop using this unit, remove the interference,
and avoid such an act in the future.
4. When micro-power wireless equipment is used, avoid
interference with wireless communication services or emissive
interference from industrial, scientific and medical treatment
equipment.
5. Do not use this unit in an aircraft or near an airport.
Warning for using the sub-woofer with a builtin transmitter
• Keep the sub-woofer (powered speaker) at least 8 feet
away from all heart pacemakers!
The radio waves may disrupt the operation of the
pacemaker.
In-plant radio stations, and special low-power radio stations for
movable body identification used for production lines and
amateur radio stations as well as industrial, scientific and
medical equipment (such as microwave ovens) use the same
frequency band used by this unit.
1. Before using this unit, make sure that no in-plant radio
stations or special low-power radio stations for movable
body identification or amateur radio stations are operated
nearby.
2. If this unit should adversely radio-interfere with an in-plant
radio station for movable body identification, immediately
change the frequency band used by this unit or stop emitting
electric waves and consult the your dealer or SANYO service
center about measures for avoiding interference (for
example, installation of a partition).
3. If any trouble occurs such as this unit causing adverse radio
interference with special low-power radio stations for
movable body identification or an amateur radio station,
contact your SANYO dealer or SANYO service center.
• Do not operate this unit in medical Institutions, hospitals
or near medical equipment!
The radio waves may cause nearby equipment to
operate incorrectly or fail.
Forbidden
• When other equipment or a medical apparatus operates
incorrectly or fails to operate due to radio wave
interference, stop using this unit!
The radio waves may cause nearby equipment to
operate incorrectly or fail.

2. Pull out gently the antenna vertically.
• Try not to hold, bend, or twist the antenna.
Using the Rear Speaker in Wired Mode
Because the rear speaker is the wireless type, it is not necessary
to connect the assistant speaker cable under normal connections.
If noise is caused to the rear speaker when used in wireless
mode, change the setting of the FREQUENCY switch on both
sub-woofer and rear speaker (Refer to the left column).
If noise is still caused, turn the power off first and connect the
rear speaker to the sub-woofer using the supplied assistant
speaker cable. In this case, the audio signal is sent to the rear
speaker through the assistant speaker cable.
