product. 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. This product should not be placed in
a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless
proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s

(Continued from previous page)
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.
22. Safety Check
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product,
ask the service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the product is in proper operating condition.

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.
