Do not use a DC power source. Check

the source carefully when setting the unit

up on a ship or other places where DC is

used.

AC mains lead protection

Ensure the AC mains lead is connected

correctly and not damaged. Poor

connection and lead damage can cause

fire or electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or

place heavy items on the lead.

Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the

lead. Pulling the AC mains lead can cause

electric shock.

Do not handle the plug with wet hands.

This can cause electric shock.

malfunction.

Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can

cause electric shock or malfunction. If this

occurs, immediately disconnect the unit

from the power supply and contact your

dealer.

Do not spray insecticides onto or into the

unit. They contain flammable gases which

can ignite if sprayed into the unit.

yourself. If sound is interrupted, indicators

fail to light, smoke appears, or any other

problem that is not covered in these

instructions occurs, disconnect the AC

mains lead and contact your dealer or an

authorized service center. Electric shock

or damage to the unit can occur if the unit

is repaired, disassembled or reconstructed

by unqualified persons.

Extend operating life by disconnecting the

unit from the power source if it is not to be

used for a long time.

match those in the

remote control.

Do not:

• mix old and new batteries.

• use different types of batteries at the same time.

• take apart or short circuit the batteries.

• attempt to recharge alkaline or manganese batteries.

• use batteries if the covering has been peeled off.

Mishandling of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage

which can severely damage the remote control.

Remove the batteries if the remote control is not going

to be used for a long period of time. Store in a cool, dark

place.

7 Use

Aim at the remote control signal sensor (\ page 13),

avoiding obstacles, at a maximum range of 7 m directly

in front of the unit.

CAUTION

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.

Replace only with the same or equivalent type

recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used

batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Do not use rechargeable type batteries.

• Do not heat or expose to ﬂ ame.

• Do not leave the battery(ies) in an automobile exposed

to direct sunlight for a long period of time with doors

and windows closed.

GETTING STARTED

Placement of speakers

How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound ﬁ eld. Note the following points:

• Place speakers on ﬂ at secure bases.

• Placing speakers too close to ﬂ oors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick

curtains.

FRONT

(L, R)

SURROUND

(L, R)

CENTER

SUBWOOFER

Setup example

Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. The angles in

the diagram are approximate.

Main unit

• Other speaker setup options (\ page 10).

• 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.

Main unit

• Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the

system for proper ventilation.

• To allow proper ventilation and to maintain good airﬂ ow

around the main unit, position it with at least 5 cm of

space on all sides.

• Do not block the ventilation holes of the main unit.

Center speaker

• Vibration caused by the center speaker can disrupt the

picture if it is placed directly on the television. Put the

center speaker on a rack or shelf.

• To prevent the speakers from falling, do not place directly

on top of the television.

Subwoofer

• Place to the right or left of the television, on the ﬂ oor or

a sturdy shelf so that it will not cause vibration. Leave a

space of 30 cm from the television.

Caution

• Refrain from holding the

speaker’s net.

Example: Front speaker

Note

• 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 reverberating due to a record player,

a microphone (except

For Continental Europe

), 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

The front and center 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.

Simple setup

Making the connectionsMaking the connections

Connect the AC mains lead only after all other connections have been made.

• Ensure that you have the complete accessories before making the connections.

Conserving power

The main unit consumes a small amount of power, even when it is in standby mode (approx. 1 W). To save power when the

unit is not to be used for a long time, unplug it from the household mains socket. You will need to reset some memory items

after plugging in the unit.

To household mains socket

Connect to the speakers.

Attach the speaker-cable stickers to make connection easier.

Be careful not to cross (short-

circuit) or reverse the polarity of

the speaker wires as doing so may

damage the speakers.

Connect to the power supply.

For Saudi Arabia and Kuwait

BE SURE TO READ THE NOTE ON AC MAINS LEAD ON PAGE 2 BEFORE CONNECTION.

Note

The included AC mains lead is for use with this unit only. Do not use it with other equipment.

The COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals provides a purer picture. These terminals can be used for either

interlaced or progressive output. Connection using these terminals outputs the color difference signals (PB/PR)

and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve high ﬁ delity in reproducing colors.

• The description of the component video input terminals depends on the television or monitor (example: Y/PB/PR,
