If you wish to discard this product, please contact
your local authorities or dealer and ask for the
correct method of disposal.
Placement
Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight,
high temperature, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These
conditions can damage the cabinet and other components,
thereby shortening the unit’s service life.
Do not place heavy items on the unit.
Voltage
Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload
the unit and cause a fire.
Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully
when setting the unit up on a ship or other place where DC is
used.
AC power supply cord protection
Ensure the AC power cord 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 power cord can cause electric shock.
Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause
electric shock.
Foreign matter
Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can cause
electric shock or 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.
Service
Do not attempt to repair this unit by 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 power cord 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.

Positioning and connecting the speakers
Simple setup
STEP 1
Cables and equipment are sold separately unless
otherwise indicated.
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 emit strange noise (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.
•
•
–
–
–
–
Caution
Use the speakers only with the recommended
system. Failure to do so can damage the main
unit and speakers, and can cause fire. Consult
a qualified service person if damage occurs or
if a sudden change in performance is apparent.
Do not attempt to attach these speakers to walls
using methods other than those described in
this manual.
•
•
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 a thick curtain.
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the
system for proper ventilation.
The angles in the diagrams are approximate.
Use only the 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.

Simple setup
Step 1: Positioning and connecting the speakers
Note
Positioning
Place the front, center, and surround speakers
at approximately the same distance from the
seating position.
Front speakers
Speakers are designed identically so that no left
or right channel orientation is necessary.
Center speaker
Do not place the center speaker directly on the
television as vibration may cause it to fall or
disrupt the picture.
Place it on a rack or shelf.
Surround speakers
Place on the side of or slightly behind the seating
area, higher than ear level.
Subwoofer(s)
VK850
VK950
Place on either side of the television, on the floor
or a sturdy shelf to reduce vibration.
Leave 10 cm at the rear for ventilation.
If irregular coloring occurs on your television
The supplied 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
Step 2 : Connecting a television, the antennas and the AC power supply cord
Before connecting the AC power supply cord, set the
voltage.
Voltage Selector
Use a flat-head screwdriver to set the voltage selector on the rear panel
to the appropriate position for the area in which this system is used.
AM loop antenna
Stand the antenna up on its
base.
Keep loose antenna cord
away from other wires and
cords.
Television
Conserving power
The unit consumes a small amount of power (approx. 0.9 W) even when it is turned off with [^]. To save power
when the unit is not to be used for a long time, unplug it from the household AC socket. You will need to reset
some memory items after plugging in the unit.
■ Connecting a television with COMPONENT VIDEO IN terminals
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals
These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive
output and provide a purer picture than the S VIDEO OUT terminal.
Connection using these terminals outputs the color difference signals
(P
B
/P
R
) 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
/P
R
,Y/B-
Y/R-Y, Y/C
B
/C
R
). Connect to terminals of the same color.
To enjoy progressive video
1. Connect to the component video input terminals on a 480p or
576p
compatible television. (Video will not be displayed correctly if
connected to an incompatible television.)
2. Select “480p”
or “576p” for Video Output Mode (Picture Menu,
➡
page 19).
■ Connecting a television with a VIDEO IN terminal
VIDEO OUT terminal
Do not connect the unit through a video cassette recorder, because the
picture may not be displayed correctly due to the copy guard protection.
■ 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.)
