Cautions on installation  
xꢀ Please refer to the instruction manuals of any  
components to be connected to this unit.  
xꢀ This unit is a precision device that is constructed  
using extremely accurate technology. Soiling or  
friction affecting the pickup lens or disc drive can  
impair the image quality. At the worst, neither video  
nor audio will be played back. To obtain optimum  
picture quality, the players should be checked  
(cleaning and replacement of some parts) every  
1,000 hours. Note that this period varies depending  
on the environment (temperature, humidity, dust,  
etc.) in which the player is used  
xꢀ Do not turn on the power or plug any of the  
components into the wall outlet until all  
connections are secure.  
xꢀ Be sure to unplug the unit from the AC wall  
outlet when connecting audio source equipment  
or speakers. This prevents any possibility of  
sending audio or transient signals to the  
speakers and damaging them.  
xꢀ Do not connect this unit directly to a VCR. The  
playback picture will be distorted because DVD  
video discs are copy protected.  
xꢀ When not in use, we recommend that you leave  
the power for your unit turned off. If you  
experience interference during normal television  
viewing, simply turn the DVD player deck off.  
This is not a malfunction of the unit or the  
television.

SABA DVD Player Deck.

The speaker system is color coded for easy setup.  
Each speaker has two color coded spring type connectors  
located at the rear of its case. You will be connecting  
each speaker to the player using with corresponding  
color coded speaker cables. Simply insert the black part  
of each speaker cable into the black connector (-) and  
the corresponding color (red, blue, grey or green) part  
of each cable to the other corresponding color  
connector (+).  
To avoid short-circuiting the speakers  
Make sure the stripped end of each speaker cord does not touch  
another speaker terminal or the stripped end of another speaker  
cord.  
Examples of poor speaker connections  
x Stripped speaker cord is touching another speaker terminal.  
xꢀ Connect the red/black front left speaker to the  
red/black FL terminals.  
xꢀ Connect the red/black front right speaker to the  
red/black FR terminals.  
xꢀ Connect the blue/black center speaker to the  
blue/black C terminals.  
xꢀ Connect the grey/black surround left speaker to  
the grey/black SL terminals.  
x Stripped cords are touching each other due to excessive removal  
of insulation.  
xꢀ Connect the grey/black surround right speaker  
to the grey/black SR terminals.  
xꢀ Connect the green/black subwoofer speaker to  
the green/black SUB terminals.  
NOTE: After connecting all speakers, check the  
connections using the test tone feature described on  
page 17. This feature will help you confirm that all  
speakers are working properly. Please note that the  
sound coming from the subwoofer will often be softer  
that that coming from the speakers.  
Note: Be Sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate  
terminal on the component: + to + and – and -. If the cords are  
reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass.
