IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety
1. Power source—Connect the unit to a power source of the type
described in these instructions or as marked on the unit.
2. Polarization—The unit is equipped with a polarized power plug
where one blade is wider than the other. This safety feature
ensures that the plug fits into your household AC outlet only one
way. If the plug doesn’t fit one way, try reversing it. If the plug
still doesn’t fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete
outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the plug.
3. Power cord protection—Route the AC power supply cord so
that it will not be walked on or pinched by items placed on or
against it. Never take hold of the plug or cord with wet hands.
Always grasp the plug body firmly when connecting and
disconnecting it.
4. Overloading—When connecting the AC power supply cord, be
careful not to overload the household AC outlet, extension cord,
or outlet from any other device as this can result in fire or electric
shock.
5. Nonuse periods—Turn the unit off when it is not in use. Unplug
the unit from the household AC outlet if it is not to be used for a
long time. Unplug the unit during lightning storms.
6. Attachments and accessories—Use only the attachments and
accessories recommended in these operating instructions. Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit. Follow the safety instructions on the unit and the safety precautions listed
below. Keep these operating instructions handy for future reference.
Installation
4. Outdoor antenna grounding—If you connect an outdoor
antenna, ground the antenna system to protect against voltage
surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1990, provides information
about grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding
of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode. Refer to this diagram.

1. Water and moisture—Do not use the unit near water, such as
near a bathtub or swimming pool. Avoid damp basements.
2. Heat—Situate the unit away from heat sources, such as
radiators.
Do not situate where temperatures fall below 5°C (41°F) or rise
above 35°C (95°F).
3. Power lines—Take care when setting up an outdoor antenna
that it is not near overhead power lines, electric lights, or
electrical circuits, and that there is no danger of the antenna
falling on power lines, electric lights, or electrical circuits. When
installing an outdoor antenna, take extreme care not to touch
such power lines or circuits, as contact with them can be fatal.
Placement
1. Ventilation—Situate the unit so that it receives proper
ventilation. Do not install in a confined space such as a
bookcase or cabinet. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance
from the rear of the unit. To prevent the risk of electric shock or
fire due to overheating ensure curtains and other materials do
not obstruct the unit’s ventilation.
2. Foreign material—Ensure objects and liquids do not get into
the unit. Avoid exposing the unit to excessive smoke, dust,
mechanical vibration, and shock.
3. Magnetism—Situate the unit away from equipment and devices
that generate strong magnetic fields.
4. Stacking—Do not place heavy objects on top of this unit.5. Surface—Place the unit on a flat, level surface.6. Carts and stands—Use the unit only with carts
and stands recommended by the manufacturer.
Move carts with care. Sudden stops, excessive
force, and uneven surfaces can cause carts to
overturn.
7. Wall and ceiling mounting—Do not mount the unit on walls or
ceilings unless specified in the instructions.
Maintenance
(See page 16 for details.)
Unplug the unit from the household AC outlet before cleaning.
Clean with a damp cloth.
Do not use abrasive pads, scouring powders, or solvents.
Service
1. Damage requiring service—The unit should be serviced by
qualified service personnel if:
(a) The AC power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
(b) Objects or liquids have gotten into the unit; or
(c) The unit has been exposed to rain; or
(d) The unit does not operate normally or exhibits a marked
change in performance; or
(e) The unit has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.
2. Servicing—Do not attempt to service the unit beyond that
described in these operating instructions. Refer all other
servicing to authorized servicing personnel.
3. Replacement parts—When parts need replacing ensure the
servicer uses parts specified by the manufacturer or parts that
have the same characteristics as the original parts.
Unauthorized substitutes may result in fire, electric shock, or
other hazards.
4. Safety check—After repairs or service, ask the servicer to
perform safety checks to confirm that the unit is in proper
working condition.

Subwoofer (6)The subwoofer can be placed in any position as long as it is at a
reasonable distance from the TV.
The front, center, and surround speakers should be placed at
approximately the same distance from the seating area. The

If irregular coloring occurs on your televisionThese speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but
the picture may be affected with some televisions and set-up
combinations.
If this occur, 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.
Moving the brand plate
You can turn the brand plate if you want to set up the small
speakers laying on their sides.
Ensure the plate doesn’t get caught on the net when you turn it. 
The speaker nets cannot be removed.

Notes on using the Digital Signal ProcessorThe digital signal processor (DSP) in this unit can decode Dolby
Digital and DTS digital signals. It automatically determines the type
of signal, PCM, Dolby Digital, or DTS, and processes it accordingly.
¡This unit cannot process other digital signal formats, such as
PCM signals with sampling frequencies of 96 kHz and 192 kHz
and MPEG.
¡This unit cannot decode Dolby Digital RF (radio frequency)
signals from a laser disc player.  Use this mode to play digital or analog stereo sources or to play
surround sources through two speakers. When surround sources
are played in this mode, the sounds intended for the other
speaker channels are played through the front speakers.
Select this mode when you are playing a digital surround source
(Dolby Digital or DTS).
Also select this mode when playing analog or digital stereo
sources. The Dolby Pro Logic 2processor works
not only on sources recorded with Dolby
Surround, but also on any stereo source. The
following modes are available when using Dolby
Pro Logic 2.
Enjoy an enhanced sound experience with greater presence and
spread by using these SFC (sound field control) modes with PCM
or analog stereo sources.
The SFC modes cannot be used if the input signal is Dolby
Digital or DTS.
