To obtain a better bass reproduction,
we recommend you to place the
subwoofer on a solid floor where
resonance is unlikely to occur.
Notes
• Place the speakers at least 0.3 meter away
from the unit.
• Do not place the surround speakers on top of
a TV. This may cause distortion of the colors
in the TV screen.
• Be sure to connect the both left and right
surround speakers. Otherwise, the sound will
not be heard.
• Do not place the surround speakers further
away from your listening position than the
front speakers.
• Do not place the center speaker on top of the
unit.
• Always place the subwoofer vertically,
keeping it a few centimeters away from the
wall.
• If the subwoofer is placed in the center of a
room, the bass could be extremely weakened.
This is due to the influence of the standing
wave of the room. If this happens, move the
subwoofer away from the center of the room
or eliminate the cause of the standing wave,
by placing a bookshelf against the wall, etc.
Speaker settings
To enjoy DVD VIDEOs and files with
multi-channel sound and Dolby Surround
effects, you need to adjust the speaker
settings. Set the distance from the
listening position to the speakers, and the
balance and level. Then use the test tone
to adjust the volume of each speaker to the
same level.

Precautions
Notes on discs
• Before playing, wipe the disc with a cleaning
cloth from the center out to the edge.
• Do not clean discs with solvents, such as
benzine thinner, or commercially available
cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl
LPs.
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat
sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a
car parked in direct sunlight.
On cleaning discs, disc/lens cleaner
Do not use a commercially available cleaning
disc or disc/lens cleaner (wet or spray type).
These may cause apparatus to malfunction.
On operating voltage
Before operating the system, check that the
operating voltage of the unit is identical with the
voltage of your local power supply.
On safety
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC
power source (mains) as long as it is
connected to the wall socket, even if the unit
itself has been turned off.
• Completely disconnect the power cord (mains
lead) from the wall socket (mains) if it is not
going to be used for an extended period of
time. When unplugging the unit, always grip
the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Should any solid object or liquid get into the
system, unplug the system, and have it
checked by qualified personnel before
operating it again.
• The AC power cord can be changed only by a
qualified service facility.
99
Additional Information
On placement
• Do not place the system in an inclined
position or in locations that are extremely hot,
cold, dusty, dirty, or humid or lacking
adequate ventilation, or subject to vibration,
direct sunlight or a bright light.
• Be careful when placing the unit or speakers
on surfaces that have been specially treated
(for example, with wax, oil, polish) as staining
or discoloration of the surface may result.
• If the system is brought directly from a cold to
a warm location or is placed in a very damp
room, moisture may condense on the lens
inside the unit, and cause the system to
malfunction. In this situation, remove the
disc, and leave the system turned on for about
an hour until the moisture evaporates.
On heat buildup
• Heat buildup on the unit during operation is
normal and is not a cause for alarm.
• Do not touch the cabinet if it has been used
continuously at a high volume because the
cabinet may have become hot.
• Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.
On the speaker system
The front speakers, center speaker and
subwoofer are magnetically shielded to allow it
to be installed near a TV set. However, color
irregularity may still be observed on the TV
screen depending on the type of your TV set. In
this situation, turn off the TV, wait 15 to 30
minutes, and turn it back on. If there is no
improvement, move the speakers far away from
the TV.
Cleaning the cabinet
Clean this system with a soft cloth slightly
moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do
not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring
powder, or solvent, such as thinner, benzine, or
alcohol.
To prevent a tape from being
accidentally recorded over
Break off the tape’s overwrite protection tab
from side A or B as illustrated.
To later reuse the tape for recording, cover the
broken tab with adhesive tape.
About a tape longer than 90 minutes
The use of the tape with more than 90 minutes
of play time is not recommended except for
long, continuous recording or playback.
Cleaning the tape heads
Use a dry- or wet-type cleaning cassette
(available separately) after every 10 hours of
use, before you start an important recording, or
after playing an old tape. Failure to clean the
tape heads can cause degraded sound quality or
an inability of the unit to record or play tapes.
For details, refer to the instructions of the
cleaning cassette.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Caution: If you leave a still video image
or on-screen display image displayed on
your TV for an extended period of time via
this system, you risk permanent damage to
your TV screen. Projection TVs are
especially susceptible to this.
