Safety Precautions

WARNING: Do not install this equipment in a confined space

such as a book case or similar unit.

To prevent fire, do not cover the ventilation of the apparatus

with news papers, table-cloths, curtains, etc. And don’t place

lighted candles on the apparatus.

Don’t throw away the battery with general

house waste, dispose of it correctly as chemical

waste.

This appliance is classified as a CLASS 1

LASER product. The label is located on the

rear exterior.

CAUTION:

This DVD Receiver employs a Laser System.

To ensure proper use of this product, please read this owner’s

manual carefully and retain it for future reference. Should the

unit require maintenance, contact an authorized service loca-

tion (see service procedure).

Performing controls, adjustments, or carrying out procedures

other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radi-

ation exposure.

To prevent direct exposure to laser beam, do not try to open

the enclosure. Visible laser radiation when open. DO NOT

STARE INTO BEAM.

CAUTION: The apparatus should not be exposed to water

(dripping or splashing) and no objects filled with liquids, such

as vases, should be placed on the apparatus.

Precautions

Safety

• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it

checked by qualified personnel before operating it any

further.

• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source

(mains) as long as it is connected to the mains outlet, even if

the unit itself has been turned off.

• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you do not intend to

use it for an extended period of time. To disconnect the cord,

pull it out by the plug, never by the cord.

Installing

• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat

buildup.

• Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or

near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the venti-

lation slots.

• Do not install the unit near heat sources such as radiators, or

air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive

dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.

• Do not install the unit in an inclined position. It is designed to

be operated in a horizontal position only.

• Keep the unit and discs away from equipment with strong

magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.

• Do not place heavy objects on the unit.

• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location,

moisture may condense inside the DVD Home Theatre

System and cause damage to the lenses. When you first

install the unit, or when you move it from a cold to a warm

location, wait for about 30 minutes before operating the unit.

On power sources

• AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service

shop.

On placement

• Place the receiver in a location with adequate ventilation to

prevent heat build-up in the system.

• At high volume, over long periods of time, the cabinet

becomes hot to the touch. This is not a malfunction.

However, touching the cabinet should be avoided. Do not

place the unit in a confined space where ventilation is poor

as this may cause overheating.

• Do not block the ventilation slots by putting anything on the

system. The receiver is equipped with a high power amplifier.

If the ventilation slots on the top surface are blocked, the unit

can overheat and malfunction.

• Do not place the system on a soft surface such as a rug

that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.

• Do not place the system in a location near heat sources, or

in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or

mechanical shock.

On operation

• If the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm loca-

tion, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may con-

dense on the lenses inside the system. Should this occur,

the system may not operate properly. In this case, remove

the disc and leave the system turned on for about half an

hour until the moisture evaporates.

• When you move the system, take out any discs. If you don’t,

the disc may be damaged.

The nameplate is located on the rear of the unit.

WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK

HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO RAIN OR

MOISTURE.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Caution: This system is capable of holding a still video

image or on-screen display image on your television screen

indefinitely. If you leave the still video image or on-screen

display image displayed on your TV for an extended period

of time you risk permanent damage to your television

screen. Projection televisions are especially susceptible to

this.

Notes on DVDs and Video CDs

Some playback operations of DVDs and Video CDs may

be intentionally fixed by software manufacturers. As this

unit plays DVDs and Video CDs according to disc con-

tent designed by the software manufacturer, some play-

back features of the unit may not be available or other

functions may be added.

Make sure to also refer to the instructions supplied with

the DVDs and Video CDs. Some DVDs made for busi-

ness purposes may not be able to be played on the unit.

Regional code of the DVD Receiver and DVDs

This DVD Receiver is designed and manufactured for

playback of region “5” encoded DVD software.

The region code on the labels of some DVDs

indicates which type of player can play those

discs. This unit can only play DVDs labeled

“5” or “ALL”. If you try to play any other discs, the

message “Check Regional Code” will appear on the TV

screen. Some DVDs that have no region code label may

still be subject to area restrictions and therefore not

playable.

Disc-related terms

or additional feature content, or music album.

Each title is assigned a title reference number enabling

you to locate it easily.

Chapter (DVD video discs only)

Before Use (Continued)

Precautions

Handling the unit

When shipping the unit

The original shipping carton and packing materials may

come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the

unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

When setting up the unit

The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio

may be disturbed during playback. In this case, position

the unit away from the TV, VCR, or radio, or turn off the

unit after removing the disc.

To keep the exterior surfaces clean

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray,

near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in

contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will

leave marks on the surface.

Cleaning the unit

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty,

use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent

solution. Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol,

benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface

of the unit.

To obtain a clear picture

The

DVD Receiver

is a high-tech, precision device. If the

optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or

worn, the picture quality will be poor.

Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended

after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the

operating environment.)

For details, please contact your nearest dealer.

Notes on Discs

Disc Handling

Do not touch the playback side of the disc.

Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not

get on the surface.

Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

Storing discs

After playing, store the disc in its case.

Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of

heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sun-

light, as there may be a considerable temperature

increase inside the car.

Cleaning discs

Fingerprints and dust on the disc can distort the picture

or reduce sound quality. Before playing, clean the disc

with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the centre out-

wards.

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,

thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static

spray intended for vinyl records.

This system can only play back a standard circular disc.

Using neither standard nor circular discs (e.g., card,

heart, or star shape) may cause a malfunction.

Do not use a disc that has a commercially available

accessory attached, such as a label or ring.

Speaker Positioning

In the case of normal position use the 6 speakers (2 front speakers, centre speaker, 2 surround speakers and

subwoofer).

If you want to play the excellent bass sound, DTS digital surround or Dolby Digital surround, you should connect a

subwoofer.

• Front speakers

According to your listening position set up the speakers for equal distance. And by hearing position set up the interval between

speakers to 45 degree.

• Centre speaker

The centre speakers and front speakers are ideally the same height. But normally place it above or below the television.

• Surround speakers

Place left and right behind the listening area. These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere required for surround

sound playback. For best results, do not install the surround speakers too far behind the listening position and install them at or

above the level of the listener’s ears. It is also effective to direct the surround speakers towards a wall or ceiling to further

disperse the sound.

In the case of a smaller room size, if the audience is near to the rear wall set the surround speakers opposite each other, and

set the surround speakers above 60 - 90 cm than the listener’s ears.

• Subwoofer

This can be placed in any front position.

Note



Speaker stand is optional.

To attach the foot pads

To prevent speaker vibration or movement while listening, attach the supplied foot pads to the speakers without

Subwoofer, as shown.

Mini Glossary for Audio Stream &

Surround mode

DTS

Allows you to enjoy 5.1(or 6) discrete channels of high quality

digital audio from DTS program sources such as discs, DVD

and compact discs, etc.bearing the trademark. DTS Digital

Surround delivers up to 6 channels of transparent audio(which

means identical to the original masters) and results in excep-

tional clarity throughout a true 360 degree sound field. The

term DTS is a trademark of DTS Technology, LLC.

Manufactured under license from DTS Technology, LLC.

DOLBY DIGITAL

The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1

channels of digital surround sound from a Dolby Digital pro-

gram source. If you play DVDs with “”mark, you can enjoy

even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and

improved dynamic range.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC

Use this mode when playing movie or Dolby Digital 2 channel

which carries the “”mark. This mode provides the effect

of being in a movie theatre or live concert house-an effect with

an intensity which can only be obtained through DOLBY PRO

LOGIC SURROUND. The effect of the front/back/left/right

movement of the sound image, as well as the sense of fixed

position in the sound image, is much clearer and more dynam-

ic than before.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC II

Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels

from two-channel sources. This is done using an advanced,

high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial

properties of the original recording without adding any new

sounds or tonal colorations.

PLII MOVIE mode:

The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all

programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced

soundfield directionality that approaches the quality of discrete

5.1-channel sound.

PLII MUSIC mode:

The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings.
