CAUTION concerning the Power Cord

Most appliances recommend they be placed upon

a dedicated circuit;

That is, a single outlet circuit which powers only that

appliance and has no additional outlets or branch

circuits. Check the specification page of this owner's

manual to be certain.

Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets,

loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords,

frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked wire

insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions

could result in electric shock or fire. Periodically

examine the cord of your appliance, and if its

appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug

it, discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord

replaced with an exact replacement part by an

authorized LG Service Centre.

Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical

abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed

in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to

plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord

exits the appliance.

To disconnect power from the mains, pull out the

mains cord plug. When installing the product, ensure

that the plug is easily accessible.

This section explains how to connect a VCR for recording from a TV or another VCR.

1. Connect the unit’s VCR REC. OUT jack to a video input on the recording VCR.

2. Connect the unit’s VCR REC. OUT L/R jacks to an audio input L/R on the recording VCR.

3. Connect the unit’s TV/STB IN, DVD IN, CD IN, or AV IN jack to a device with video output.

4. Connect the unit’s TV/STB IN, DVD IN, CD IN, or AV IN L/R jacks to an device with audio output.

Playback from the Recording VCR

To play back a video in the recording VCR

via the unit:

1. Connect the unit’s VCR IN jack to a video

output on the recording VCR.

2. Connect the unit’s VCR IN L/R jacks to an

audio output on the recording VCR.

3. Connect the unit’s MONITOR OUT jack to

an video input jack on the TV.

Notes

• The unit must be turned on for recording. Recording is not possible while it’s in Standby mode.

• If you want to record directly from your TV or playback VCR to the recording VCR without going through the

unit, connect the TV/VCR’s audio and video outputs directly to the recording VCR’s audio and video inputs.

See the manuals supplied with your TV and VCR for details.

•Video signals connected to video inputs can only be recorded via video outputs. If your TV/VCR is connected

Connecting speakers

The unit allows you to use 5.1 channel system.

The ideal surround speaker system for this unit is 5-

speaker systems, using front left and right speakers, a

center speaker, surround left and right speakers, and

a subwoofer.

For best results we recommend that all front speakers

be of the same type, with identical or similar driver

units. This the action moves from side to side.

Your center channel speaker is very important as over

80 % of the dialog from a typical motion picture

emanates from the center channel. It should possess

similar sonic characteristics to the main speakers.

Bass effects are an important part of home theater.

For optimal enjoyment a subwoofer should be used as

it is optimized for low frequency reproduction.

Example of 5.1 channel speaker

system configuration

Front left and right speakers

These output the overall sound. Their role in a home

theater is to provide a solid anchor for the sound

image. They should be positioned facing the listener

at about ear level, and equidistant from the TV. Angle

them inward so as to create a triangle, with the

listener at the apex.

Center speaker

This speaker enhances the front left and right

speakers, making sound movements distinct and

providing a full sound image. In movies it’s used

mainly for dialog.

Position it close to your TV (preferably on top) facing

forward at about ear level, or at the same height as

the front left and right speakers.

Surround left and right speakers

These speakers are used for precise sound

positioning and to add realistic ambience.

Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly

behind, about 2–3 feet (60–100 cm) above ear level.

Ideally they should be equidistant from the listener.

Subwoofer

The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE

(Low-Frequency Effects) channel.

The volume and quality of the bass output from your

subwoofer will depend on its position, the shape of

your listening room, and your listening position. In

general, a good bass sound can be obtained by

installing the subwoofer as shown left.

Tip

To find the best position for your subwoofer, while

playing a movie or some music with good bass,

experiment by placing your subwoofer at various

positions within the room, and choose the one that

provides the most satisfying results.
