NOTE TO CABLE/TV INSTALLER:
This reminder is provided to call the cable TV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electric Code (U.S.A.). The code provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of the cable entry as practical.

Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any mounting of the product should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
8. Transporting Product
A product and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart combination to overturn.
9. Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
10. Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventila­tion and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.

14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code (U.S.A.), ANSI/ NFPA 70 provides informa­tion with regard to proper grounding of the mast and sup­porting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, loca­tion of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
15. Lightning
For added protection for this product (receiver) during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
16. Power Lines
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
17. Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
18. Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
19. Servicing
Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
20. Damage Requiring Service
Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servic­ing to qualified service personnel under the following con­ditions:
a. If the power-supply cord or plug is damaged. b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into
the product.
c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal operation.
e. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
f. If the product exhibits a distinct change in perfor­mance.
21. Replacement Parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the origi­nal part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

Audio Hookups
Locate the Surround/External Speaker clips on the back of your Entertainment Machine. Connect the wires to the right or left speaker clips, depending on where the speaker is located in your room. The copper wire corre­sponds to the Negative jack, and the silver to the Positive.
Locate the jacks marked Variable Out. These are for the sub-woofer. Connect the sub-woofer’s cables, according to their color (red is the right channel, white the left) to these jacks.
Set the Surround/External Speaker Matrix switch into the “External” position.
To use your Surround/External Speaker clips as the only audio output, connect the wires for your speakers to the Surround Speaker clips according to the diagram on the right.
Set the Surround/External Speaker Matrix switch into the “External” position.
If you happen to have Mini-tower speakers, these will be connected to the back of your sub-woofer, with the jack labeled Satellite Speaker Output.
Before you begin connecting your speakers, it’s a good idea to put them in their approximate places first. That way you know how much wire you have or will need.

This is just a general room design. Any number of set-ups are possible, and some changes may be needed to maximize your sound.
A left and right speaker on either side of the Entertainment Machine will create a “center channel,” making the dialog sound as though it’s coming directly from the Entertainment Machine. The rear surround sound speakers provide the majority of other sounds, like those from special effects in movies. Your sub-woofer generates ultra-low frequency sound, for rumbling low-end audio.
Sound is affected by speaker placement, so make sure nothing is in front of the speakers, and that they are aimed in appropriate directions.
If your surround sound system is on, but there’s no sound from the speakers, the program you’re watching might not be broadcast in surround sound.
