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!

Introduction
7 Safety precautions
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.

About discs
Notes on DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD-RAM
• This system can also play finalized DVD-Rs or DVD-RWs
recorded in DVD VIDEO format and DVD-RWs or DVD-RAMs
recorded in DVD VR format.
Playable disc types
This system has been designed to play back the following discs:
• This system can also play DVD-Rs or DVD-RWs if MP3, WMA,
JPEG, MPEG-4 and DivX files are recorded on them with UDF
Bridge format.
DVD VIDEO
DVD AUDIO
This system does not support “multi-border” discs.
Notes on CD-R and CD-RW
VCD/SVCD
Audio CD
• This system can also play CD-Rs or CD-RWs if MP3, WMA,
JPEG, MPEG-4 and DivX files are recorded on them with ISO
9660 format.
• This system supports “multi-session” discs (up to 20 sessions).
• This system cannot play “packet write” discs.
Some discs may not be played back because of their disc
characteristics, recording conditions, or damage or stain on them.
• DVD Logo is a trademark of DVD Format/Logo Licensing

• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply with the
“Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of
Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be
recommended.
Unplayable discs:
SACD, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, etc.
Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the
speakers.
• This system accommodates the PAL system, and also can play
discs recorded with NTSC system. Note that an NTSC video
signal on a disc is converted to the PAL60 signal and output.
• On some DVD VIDEOs, DVD AUDIOs, VCDs or SVCDs, their
actual operation may be different from what is explained in this
manual. This is due to the disc programming and disc structure,
not a malfunction of this system.
• Before playing back discs, read their instructions or cautions
carefully.
Region code of DVD VIDEO
This system can play back DVD VIDEO discs whose Region Code
numbers include the system’s Region Code, which is indicated on
the rear panel.
Example of playable DVD:

CAUTION
• When moving the speakers, do not pull the speaker cords;
otherwise, the speakers may fall over, causing damage or injury.
• When holding a speaker, always grasp the lower portion.
• Do not lean against the speakers, as the speakers could fall down
or break, possibly causing an injury. Especially be careful that
children do not lean against them.
• 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.
• Do not reproduce sounds at so high a volume that they are
distorted; otherwise, the speakers may be damaged by internal
heat buildup.

Connecting a TV

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.
7 To connect a TV with the SCART connector
