Precautions

PREPARATION

Ensure that the AC power supply in your house complies with the identification sticker located on the back of your player. Install your player horizontally, on a suitable base (furniture), with enough space around it for ventilation (3~4inches). Make sure the ventilation slots are not covered. Do not stack anything on top of the player. Do not place the player on amplifiers or other equipment which may become hot. Before moving the player, ensure the disc tray is empty. This player is designed for continuous use. Switching off the DVD player to the stand-by mode does not disconnect the electrical supply. In order to disconnect the player completely from the power supply, remove the main plug from the wall outlet, especially when left unused for a long period of time.

During thunderstorms, disconnect AC main plug from the wall outlet.

Voltage peaks due to lightning could damage the unit.

Protect the player from moisture(i.e. vases) , and excess heat(e.g.fireplace) or equipment creating strong magnetic or electric fields (i.e.speakers...). Disconnect the power cable from the AC supply if the player malfunctions. Your player is not intended for industrial use. Use of this product is for personal use only.

Condensation may occur if your player or disc have been stored in cold temperatures.

If transporting the player during the winter, wait approximately 2 hours until the unit has reached room temperature before using.

Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or other heat sources.

This could lead to overheating and malfunction of the unit.

The battery used with this product contain chemicals that

are harmful to the environment.

Do not dispose of batteries in the general household trash.

Notes on Discs

V I D E O

1 ~ 6

DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) offers fantastic audio and video, thanks to Dolby Digital surround sound and MPEG-2 video compression technology. Now you can enjoy these realistic effects in the home, as if you were in a movie theater or concert hall.

DVD players and the discs are coded by region. These regional codes must match in order for the disc to play. If the codes do not match, the disc will not play.

The Region Number for this player is given on the rear panel of the player.

(Your DVD player will only play DVDs that are labeled with identical region codes.)

Playable Discs

Do not use the following types of disc!

???LD, CD-G, CD-I, CD-ROM and DVD-ROM cannot be played on this player.

If such discs are played, a "WRONG DISC FORMAT" message appears on the TV screen.

???DVD discs purchased abroad may not play on this player.

If such discs are played, a "WRONG REGION CODE" message appears on the TV screen.

Copy Protection

???Many DVD discs are encoded with copy protection. Because of this, you should only connect your DVD player directly to your TV, not to a VCR. Connecting to a VCR results in a distorted picture from copy-protected DVD discs.

???This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by methods claims of certain U.S. patents and other intellectual property rights owned by Macrovision Corporation and other rights owners. Use of this copyright protection technology must be authorized by Macrovision Corporation, and is intended for home and other limited viewing uses only unless otherwise authorized by Macrovision Corporation.

Connecting the Speakers

Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.

???Place it on a stand or cabinet shelf, or under the TV stand.

The listening position should be located about 2.5 to 3 times the distance of the TV's screen size away from the TV. Example: For 32" TVs 2~2.4m (6~8feet)

For 55" TVs 3.5~4m (11~13feet)

Front Speakers L R

???Place these speakers in front of your listening position, facing inwards (about 45??) toward you.

???Place the speakers so that their tweeters will be at the same height as your ear.

???Align the front face of the front speakers with the front face of the center speaker or place them slightly in front of the center speakers.

Center Speaker C

???It is best to install it at the same height as the front speakers.

???You can also install it directly over or under the TV.

Rear Speakers LS RS

???Place these speakers behind your listening position.

???If there isn't enough room, place these speakers to face each other.

???Place them about 60 to 90cm (2 to 3feet) above your ear, facing slightly downward.

*Unlike the front and center speakers, the rear speakers are used to handle mainly sound effects and sound will not come from them all the time.

Subwoofer SW

???The position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you like.

???Usually, it is placed by a corner near the front speakers.

When using the wireless transmission antenna

Stand the wireless transmission antenna to face upward for best communication status.

Caution

???Do not apply a strong shock to the wireless transmission antenna. Breakage may result.

???Do not touch the wireless transmission antenna during operation. Noise or interference to communications may result.

???Place the wireless rear amplifier at the rear of the listening position. If the wireless rear amplifier is too close to the main unit, some sound interruption may be heard due to interference.

???If you use a device such as a microwave oven, wireless LAN Card, Bluetooth equipment, or any other device that uses the same frequency (2.4GHz) near the system, some sound interruption may be heard due to interference.

???The transmission distance of radio wave is about 33 feet but may vary depending on your operating environment. If a steel-concrete wall or metallic wall is between the main unit and the wireless rear amplifier, the system may not operate at all because the radio wave cannot penetrate metal.
