mended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. Follow the  
manufacturer's instructions for mounting, and use a recom-  
mended mounting accessory.  
MAKING CABLE CONNECTIONS  
Be careful not to bend cables over the top of the receiver.  
• Carts — Move the product on a cart carefully. Quick stops,  
excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the product/  
cart to overturn.  
If cables are placed on top of the receiver, the magnetic field prod-  
cued by the receiver’s transformers can cause the speakers to pro-  
duce a humming noise.  
6. Disc Tray — Keep your fingers well clear of the disc tray as it is  
closing. It may cause serious personal injury.  
USING DISCS  
When using discs, you must always take the following precautions:  
• Do not touch the playback side of the disc.  
• Do not attach paper or tape to discs.  
7. Burden — Do not place a heavy object on or step on the product.  
The object may fall, causing serious personal injury and serious  
damage to the product.  
8. Connecting — When you connect the product to other equip-  
ment, turn off the power and unplug all the equipment from the  
wall outlet. Failure to do so may cause an electric shock and  
serious personal injury. Read the owner’s manual of the other  
equipment carefully and follow the instructions when making any  
connections.  
• Do not store discs in a place subject to direct sunlight or near  
heat sources.  
• Do not store discs in places subject to moisture and dust such as  
a bathroom or near a humidifier.  
• Store discs vertically in a case. Stacking or placing objects on  
discs outside of their case may cause warping.  
9. Sound Volume — Reduce the volume to the minimum level  
before you turn on the product. Otherwise, sudden high volume  
sound may cause hearing or speaker damage.  
Cleaning Discs  
10. Sound Distortion — Do not allow the product to output distorted  
sound for a longtime. It may cause speaker overheating and fire.  
Fingerprints and dust on the disc cause picture and sound deteriora-  
tion. Wipe the disc from the center outward with a soft cloth. Always  
keep the disc clean.  
11. Headphones — When you use the headphones, keep the  
volume at a moderate level. If you use the headphones continu-  
ously with high volume sound, it may cause hearing damage.  
If you cannot wipe off the dust with a soft cloth, wipe the disc lightly  
with a slightly moistened soft cloth and finish with a dry cloth.  
12. Laser Beam — Do not look into the opening of the disc tray or  
ventilation opening of the product to see the source of the laser  
beam. It may cause sight damage.  
Do not use any type of solvents such as thinner, benzene, commer-  
cially available cleaners or anti-static spray for vinyl LPs. They might  
damage the disc.  
13. Disc — Do not use a cracked, deformed, or repaired disc. These  
discs are easily broken and may cause serious personal injury  
and product malfunction.  
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Careful attention is devoted to quality standards in the manufacture of  
your system, and safety is a major factor in its design. However, safe-  
ty is also your responsibility.  
14. Ventilation — Slots and openings in the cabinet provide ventila-  
tion, ensure reliable operation, and protect from overheating. Do  
not block or cover these openings, and do not place the product  
on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place the  
product in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack  
unless it provides proper ventilation as specified by the manufac-  
turer.  
This section lists important information that will help you properly use  
and enjoy your system. Read all the included safety and operating in-  
structions before using your system. Follow them closely, and retain  
them for future reference.  
15. Power Sources — Operate this product using only the power  
source indicated on its marking label. If you are not sure of your  
home's power type, consult your product dealer or local power  
company.  
1. Heed Warnings — Follow all warnings on the product and in the  
operating instructions.  
2. Cleaning — Unplug this product from the wall outlet before  
cleaning. Use only a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid or  
aerosol cleaners.  
16. Polarization — This product is equipped with a polarized AC line  
plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will  
fit in the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If  
you cannot insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the  
plug. If the plug still doesn't fit, contact your electrician to replace  
your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the  
polarized plug. If you need an extension, use a polarized cord.  
3. Attachments — Do not use attachments/accessories not recom-  
mended by the product manufacturer, as they might create a  
hazard.  
4. Water and Moisture — Do not use this product near water (for  
example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub;  
in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool).  
17. Power-Cord Protection — Route power-supply cords so they are  
not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or  
against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, con-  
venience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the  
product.  
5. Accessories — Do not place this product on an unstable cart,  
stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing  
serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the prod-  
uct. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recom-

FM Outdoor Antenna  
Note:  
Your cable box or satellite receiver must use audio/video cords  
or Toslink optical cable to connect to the receiver. If your equipment  
only uses coaxial cable, you cannot connect it to the receiver.  
In an area where FM signals are weak, you must use a 75-ohm un-  
balanced-type outdoor FM antenna (not supplied). Generally, a 3-ele-  
ment antenna will be sufficient. If you live in an area where the FM  
signals are particularly weak, it may be necessary to use one with 5  
or more elements.  
If your satellite receiver or cable box has digital output, use an optical

best reception.  
3. If possible, install the surround speakers slightly above ear level.  
Keep the antenna as far away as possible from the entire system,  
speaker cords and the power cord to prevent unwanted noise.  
Note:  
Try not to install the surround speakers farther away from  
the listening position than the front and center speakers. Doing  
so can weaken the surround effect.  
AM Outdoor Antenna  
To achieve the best possible surround sound, install your speakers  
as shown below. Be sure all speakers are installed securely to pre-  
vent accidents and improve sound quality.  
If the supplied AM loop antenna does not deliver sufficient reception,  
use an outdoor AM antenna (not supplied).
