Caution for AC Mains Lead
(For United Kingdom)
(“EB” area code model only)
For your safety, please read the following text carefully.
This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for
your safety and convenience.
A 5-ampere fuse is fitted in this plug.
Should the fuse need to be replaced please ensure that the
replacement fuse has a rating of 5-ampere and that it is approved by
ASTA or BSI to BS1362.
Check for the ASTA mark
Ï
or the BSI mark
Ì
on the body of the fuse.
If the plug contains a removable fuse cover you must ensure that it is
refitted when the fuse is replaced.
If you lose the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a
replacement cover is obtained.
A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your local dealer.
If a new plug is to be fitted please observe the wiring code as stated below.
If in any doubt please consult a qualified electrician.
IMPORTANT
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
Blue: Neutral, Brown: Live.
As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter N or coloured Black or Blue.
The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter L or coloured Brown or Red.
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE EARTH
TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH THE LETTER E, BY THE
EARTH SYMBOL
Ó
OR COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN/YELLOW.
THIS PLUG IS NOT WATERPROOF—KEEP DRY.
Before use
Remove the connector cover.
How to replace the fuse
The location of the fuse differ according to the type of AC mains plug
(figures A and B). Confirm the AC mains plug fitted and follow the
instructions below.
Illustrations may differ from actual AC mains plug.
1 Open the fuse cover with a screwdriver.
2 Replace the fuse and close or attach the fuse cover.
CAUTION!
IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE FOR THE
SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME THEN THE FUSE
SHOULD BE REMOVED AND THE PLUG CUT OFF AND
DISPOSED OF SAFELY.
THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK IF
THE CUT OFF PLUG IS INSERTED INTO ANY 13-AMPERE
SOCKET.

Glossary
Decoder
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This
is called decoding.
Dolby Digital
This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby
Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can
also be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can
be recorded on one disc using this method.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the
world. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic
sound effects are possible.
Dynamic range
Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound
that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest
level of sound before distortion occurs.
Film and video
DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. Usually, film is
recorded at 24 frames per second, the rate movies are filmed at,
while video is recorded at 30 frames per second.
Frame still and field still
Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving
picture. There are about 30 frames shown each second.
One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these
fields one after the other to create frames.
A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is
made up of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred,
but overall quality is high.
A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a
frame still so picture quality is lower.
Interlace and progressive output
NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (I) scan lines,
whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines.
This is called 480P. The video signals output from this unit’s
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals (Y, P
B, PR) allow you to enjoy
higher quality pictures than if the signals were output from the
VIDEO OUT terminal or S-VIDEO OUT terminal.
I/P/B
MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with
DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.
I: Intra coded picture
This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when
adjusting the picture.
P: Predictive coded picture
This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures.
B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture
This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and
P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.
Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on
CDs.
Playback control (PBC)
If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and
information with menus.

Simple setup
Simple setup
≥Use only supplied speakers
Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality will
be negatively affected.
≥Set the speakers up on an even surface to prevent them from
falling. Take proper precautions to prevent the speakers from
falling if you cannot set them up on an even surface.
Positioning for best effect
How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound
field. Note the following points.
≥Place speakers on flat secure bases.
≥Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result
in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtain.
Notes on speaker use
≥You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if you
play sound at high levels over extended periods.
≥Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid damage.
–When playing distorted sound.
–When the speakers are receiving howling from a record player,
noise from FM broadcasts, or continuous signals from an
oscillator, test disc, or electronic instrument.
–When adjusting the sound quality.
–When turning the unit on or off.
If irregular coloring occurs on your television
These speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but
the picture may be affected with some televisions and setup
combinations.
If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes.
The television’s demagnetizing function should correct the
problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away from the
television.

∫ Connecting a television with a VIDEO IN
terminal
Connect directly to your television.
Do not connect the unit through a video cassette recorder,
because the picture may not be played correctly due to the copy
guard.
[For\the\United\Kingdom,\Continental\Europe\and\Russia]
∫ Connecting a television with SCART terminal
SCART terminal
To improve picture quality, you can change the video signal output
from the AV terminal from “Video” to “RGB” to suit the type of
television you are using (➡ page 10, QUICK SETUP or page 30,
Video—AV Output).
∫ Connecting a television with an S-VIDEO IN
terminal
S-VIDEO OUT terminal
The S video terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the VIDEO
OUT terminal by separating the chrominance (C) and luminance
(Y) signals. (Actual results depend on the television.)
[For\Australia,\N.Z.\and\Southeast\Asia]
∫ Connecting a television with COMPONENT
VIDEO IN terminals
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals
These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive
output (➡ page 10) and provide a purer picture than the S-VIDEO
OUT terminal. Connection using these terminals outputs the color
difference signals (P
B/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in
order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors. The description
of the component video input terminals depends on the television
or monitor (e.g. Y/P
B/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR). Connect to terminals
of the same color.
