This symbol alerts you to important operating and
maintenance instructions accompanying the unit.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
expose this appliance to rain or moisture.
Wiring the Main Power Supply Plug(UK Only)
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The main lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse. The value of the fuse is indicated on the pin
face of the plug and if it requires replacing, a fuse approved to BS1362 of the same rating must be used.
Never use the plug with the fuse cover removed. If the cover is detachable and a replacement is required, it must be of the same
colour as the fuse fitted in the plug. Replacement covers are available from your dealer.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for the power points in your house or the cable is not long enough to reach a power point, you
should obtain a suitable safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer for assistance.
However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the plug. Do not connect the
plug to a main socket as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible cord.
Never attempt to insert bare wires directly into a main socket. Aplug and fuse must be used at all times.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the main lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:–
BLUE = NEUTRAL BROWN = LIVE
As these colours may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as fol-
lows:–
The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured BLUE or BLACK.
The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured BROWN or RED.
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH
THE LETTER E OR BY THE EARTH SYMBOL , OR COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN
AND YELLOW.

slots are not covered. Do not stack anything on top of the player. Do not place the player on amplifiers or other equipment which may
become hot. Before moving the player, ensure the disc tray 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 sup-
ply, 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.fire-
place) or equipment creating strong magnetic or electric fields (i.e.speak-
ers...). Disconnect the power cable from the AC supply if the player mal-
functions. 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 have 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.

CONNECTIONS
Ideal Speaker Placement
Front Speakers
Center Speaker
Rear Speakers
Subwoofer Speaker
Set the front speakers so that their tweeters
(high-range) are aligned at about ear level and at a
horizontal angle of 45° to the prime listening position.
Ideally the center speaker should be positioned with
its top surface flush with the front speakers. However,
you may place the speaker either on top or near the
bottom of your TV set.
Place the subwoofer at any convenient location
within the vicinity of the listening position.
Set the rear speakers further back, parallel to the
walls, at 60 to 90 centimeters (2 to 3 feet) above
prime listening position ear level.
If the space behind the listening position is insufficient
(i.e., too close to the wall), place the rear speakers
facing each other on either side.
•
Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: + to + and
– to –. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass.
•
If you use front speakers with low maximum input rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid
excessive output on the speakers.
•
Do not disassemble the front cover of supplied speaker.
Note
FM antenna connection
1. Connect the FM antenna supplied to the FM
75
Ω
COAXIAL terminal as temporary measure.
2. Slowly move the antenna wire around until you
find a location where reception is good, then
fasten it to a wall or other rigid surface.
•
If reception is poor, connect an outdoor antenna.
Before attaching a 75
Ω
coaxial cable (with a standard
type connector), disconnect the supplied FM antenna.
AM(MW) antenna connection
1. Connect the AM loop antenna supplied
to the AM and terminals.
2. If reception is poor, connect an outdoor
single vinyl-covered wire to the AM ter-
minal. (Keep the AM loop antenna con-
nected).

Antennas
A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel of the center unit to
prevent abnormal temperature inside the center unit, thus assuring
normal operation. The cooling fan automatically starts rotating to
supply external cool air to the inside of the center unit when the
internal temperature exceeds the specified limit.
For safety, observe the following carefully.
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the center unit. Poor
ventilation could overheat and cause damage.
• DO NOT block the cooling fan and the ventilation openings or
holes. (If they are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat
may not be able to escape.)
Snap the tabs on the loop into the
slots of the base to assemble the
AM loop antenna.
