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.
Discs
The types of discs listed below will play on this
SABA DVD Player Deck.
The following discs will not be play:

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.
