SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”  
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be  
taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.  
Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.  
Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment) are  
properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing  
connections.  
Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.  
Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.  
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way — switch off,  
withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.  
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.  
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation or has  
a standby mode.  
Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this.  
Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.  
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of traffic safety. It is illegal to  
watch television whilst driving.  
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your hearing.  
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.  
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.  
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s approved  
stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.  
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.  
ABOVE ALL  
— NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case — this could result in a fatal  
electrical shock.;  
— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe than sorry!

Notes on handling  
7 Important cautions  
Avoid moisture, water and dust  
Do not place the system in moist or dusty places.  
Avoid high temperatures  
Do not expose the system to direct sunlight and do not place it near  
a heating device.  
Installation of the system  
• Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold;  
between 5°C and 35°C.  
When you are away  
When away on travel or for other reasons for an extended period of  
time, disconnect the power cord plugs from the wall outlet.  
• Leave sufficient distance between the system and the TV.  
• Do not use the system in a place subject to vibration.  
Power cord  
Do not block the vents  
Blocking the vents may damage the system.  
• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!  
• A small amount of power is always consumed while the power  
cord is connected to the wall outlet (center unit only).  
• When unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet, always  
pull on the plug, not the power cord.  
Care of the cabinet  
When cleaning the system, use a soft cloth and follow the relevant  
instructions on the use of chemically-coated cloths. Do not use  
benzene, thinner or other organic solvents including disinfectants.  
These may cause deformation or discoloring.  
To prevent malfunctions of the system  
• There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If anything goes  
wrong, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer.  
• Do not insert any metallic object into the system.  
• Do not use any non-standard shape disc (like a heart, flower or  
credit card, etc.) available on the market, because it may damage  
the system.  
If water gets inside the system  
Turn the system off and disconnect the power cord plug from the  
wall outlet, then call the store where you made your purchase.  
Using the system in this condition may cause fire or electrical  
shock.  
• Do not use a disc with tape, stickers, or paste on it, because it  
may damage the system.

distorted; otherwise, the speakers may be damaged by internal  
heat buildup.  
• When you connect speakers other than the supplied ones, use  
speakers of the same speaker impedance (SPEAKER IMPEDANCE)  
indicated near the speaker terminals on the rear of the powered  
subwoofer.  
• DO NOT connect more than one speaker to one speaker terminal.

NOTE  
• Place the satellite speakers on a flat and level surface.  
• The front and center speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color  
distortions on TVs. However, if not installed properly, they may  
cause color distortions. So, pay attention to the following when  
installing the speakers.  
• If your TV supports progressive video input, you can enjoy a high  
quality picture by setting the progressive scan mode to active.  
(A pg. 18)  
• If the component video input jacks of your TV are of the BNC type,  
use a plug adapter (not supplied) to convert the pin plugs to BNC  
plugs.  
– When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off the TV’s main  
power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers. Then wait  
at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV’s main power switch  
again.  
• The component video signals can be output only when you select  
“DVD” as the source to play. (A pg. 17)  
Some TVs may still be affected even though you have followed the  
above. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV.  
• The surround speakers are not magnetically shielded.  
If it is located nearby the TV or monitor, it will probably cause  
color distortion on the screen. To avoid this, do not place the  
speaker nearby the TV or monitor.

Tuner operations  
The TEST signal is used for equipment test — whether it  
can receive the Alarm signal correctly  
Switching to broadcast program of your  
choice temporarily  
The TEST signal makes the system work in the same way as the  
Alarm signal does. If the TEST signal is received, the system  
automatically switches to the station broadcasting the TEST signal.  
While receiving the TEST signal, TESTappears on the display  
window.  
Another convenient RDS service is called Enhanced Other  
Network.  
This allows the system to switch temporarily to a broadcast  
program of your choice (TA, NEWS, and/or INFO) from a different  
station except in the following cases;  
When you are listening to non-RDS stations (all AM MW  
stations, some FM stations and other sources).  
When the system is in standby mode.  
7 How the Enhanced Other Network function actually  
works  
Case 1  
If there is no station broadcasting the program you have  
selected  
NOTE  
Before you start operations;  
• The Enhanced Other Network function is only applicable to preset  
stations.  
The system continues tuning in to the current station.  
When a station starts broadcasting the program you have selected,  
the system automatically switches to the station. The indicator of  
received PTY code starts flashing.  
IMPORTANT  
Before using the remote control for the  
following operation;  
1 Set the remote control mode selector to  
AUDIO.  
When the program is over, the system goes back to the previously  
tuned station, but the Enhanced Other Network function still  
remains activated.  
2 Press FM/AM.  
Press TA/NEWS/INFO  
Case 2  
If the FM station you are listening to is broadcasting the  
program you have selected  
repeatedly until the program type indicator  
(TA/NEWS/INFO) you want appears on the  
display window.  
Each time you press the button, the indicator on the display window  
changes.  
The system continues to receive the station but the indicator of  
received PTY code starts flashing.  
When the program is over, the indicator of received PTY code stops  
flashing and remains lit, but the Enhanced Other Network function  
still remains activated.

back to the previously selected station.  
• While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other Network  
function, the station does not change even if another network station  
starts broadcasting a program of the same Enhanced Other Network  
data.  
• While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other Network  
function, you can only use TA/NEWS/INFO and FL DISP. as the  
tuner operation buttons.  
When an emergency broadcast (ALARM signal) is sent  
from an FM station
