Precautions

Ensure that the AC power supply in your house complies with the identification sticker located on the back of your player or subwoofer. Install your player or subwoofer horizontally, on a suitable base (furniture), with enough space around it for ventilation (3~4inches). Make sure the ventilation slots are not covered. Do not stack anything on top of the player or subwoofer. Do not place the player or subwoofer on amplifiers or other equipment which may become hot. Before moving the player, ensure the disc insert hole is empty. This player is designed for continuous use. Switching off the DVD player to the stand-by mode does not disconnect the electrical supply. In order to disconnect the player completely from the power supply, remove the main plug from the wall outlet, especially when left unused for a long period of time.
Protect the player from moisture (i.e. vases) , and excess heat (e.g.fireplace) or equipment creating strong magnetic or electric fields (i.e.speakers...). Disconnect the power cable from the AC supply if the player malfunctions. Your player is not intended for industrial use.
Use of this product is for personal use only. Condensation may occur if your player or disc has been stored in cold
temperatures. If transporting the player during the winter, wait approximately 2 hours
until the unit has reached room temperature before using.
Phones
During thunderstorms, disconnect the AC main plug from the wall outlet. Voltage peaks due to lightning could damage the unit. The Mains plug is used as a disconnect device and shall stay readily operable at any time.
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or other heat sources. This could lead to overheating and malfunction of the unit.
The batteries used with this product contain chemicals that are
harmful to the environment.

Connecting the Speakers

Rear Speakers
Place these speakers behind your listening position.
If there isn't enough room, place these speakers so they face each other.
Place them about 60 to 90cm (2 to 3feet) above your ear, facing slightly downward.
*
Unlike the front and center speakers, the rear speakers are used to handle mainly sound effects and sound will not come from them all the time.
Front Speakers
Place these speakers in front of your listening position, facing inwards (about 45°) toward you.
Place the speakers so that their tweeters will be at the same height as your ear.
Align the front face of the front speakers with the front face of the center speaker or place them slightly in front of the center speakers.
Center Speaker
It is best to install it at the same height as the front speakers.
You can also install it directly over or under the TV.
Position of the DVD Player
Place it on a stand or cabinet shelf, or under the TV stand.
Selecting the Listening Position
The listening position should be located about 2.5 to 3 times the distance of the TV's screen size away from the TV. Example : For 32" TVs 2~2.4m (6~8feet) For 55" TVs 3.5~4m (11~13feet)
Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.

Resetting the Wireless Receiving Module
Reset the system if a communication failure occurs, or if the Link indicator (blue LED) on the wireless receiver does not light up and the "REAR CHECK" message blinks on the main unit's display. Reset the system while the main unit and the wireless receiver module (SWA-3000) are in Power Standby mode.
1 With the main unit turned off, press and hold the remote
control's REMAIN button for 5 seconds.
The STANDBY LED on the front panel of the wireless receiver module
blinks.
2 With the wireless receiver module turned on, use a ball point
pen or a toothpick to press the RESET button on the back of
the unit.
The STANDBY LED on the front panel of the wireless receiver module
blinks 2 Times.
3 Turn on the main unit.
The LINK LED of the wireless receiver module is lit and the Reset is completed.
If Power Standby mode continues, repeat Steps 1 to 3 above.
• Place the wireless receiver module at the rear of the listening position. If the wireless receiver module is too close to the main unit, some sound interruption may be heard due to interference.
• If you use a device such as a microwave oven, wireless LAN Card, Bluetooth equipment, or any other device that uses the same frequency (2.4GHz) near the system, some sound interruption may be heard due to interference.
• The transmission distance of a radio wave is about 33 feet, but may vary depending on your operating environ­ment. If a steel-concrete wall or metallic wall is between the main unit and the wireless receiver module, the sys­tem may not operate at all, because the radio wave cannot penetrate metal.
• When the wireless receiving module setting is complete, no audio signal is output from the Rear Speaker Output Connector on the back of the subwoofer.
• The wireless receiving antenna is built into the wireless receiver module. Keep the unit away from water and moisture.
• For optimal listening performance, make sure that the area around the wireless receiver module location is clear of any obstructions.
• Sound will be heard from the wireless rear speakers in DVD 5.1-CH or Dolby Pro Logic II mode only.
• In 2-CH mode, no sound will be heard from the wireless rear speakers.
