    IMPORTANT NOTE
    • Provide spaces for sufficient ventilation as indicated
    below.  If the space is insufficient, the unit may overheat
    resulting in malfunction and shorter life time.
    • Do not connect to the AC power cords until  all connec-
    tions are completed. 
    • Do not use your set immediately after transferring it from
    a cold place to a warm place:  there is risk of condensation.
    • Do not expose your set to water and excessively high
    temperatures.
    •  After having disconnected your set, clean the case with a
    soft cloth, or with a slightly damp leather chamois. Never
    use strong solvents.
    Disc handling precaution:
    • Do not touch the recorded surface.
    • Do not use record cleaning sprays, solvent or anti-static
    liquid.
    • If the disc is dirty, clean it with a damp cloth and wipe
    from the center out. Wipe in straight line and not in circu-
    lar motion.
    • Do not attach stickers, label on the disc.
    • Store the disc in its case after playing.
    Regional coding
    Your DVD player has been designed to process regional
    management information that is stored on DVD. DVD that
    have different regional codes to that of your player cannot
    be played. The regional code for your player is 2. All means
    all regions. When you buy a disc, check that it bears the
    correct logo.
    Protect your Components from
    Overheating
    • Do not block ventilation holes in any component.
    Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.
    • Do not stack components directly on top of each other.
    •  Allow adequate ventilation when placing your compo-
    nents in a stand.
    •  Place the receiver near the top shelf of the stand so
    heated air rising from it will not affect other components.
    Disc you can play
    While advances have been made to ensure that your player
    is compatible with the largest number of discs possible, it
    cannot be guaranteed that you will be able to play discs
    which might not be compatible with audio CD, VCD and
    SVCD standards. In the case of writable and rewritable
    discs, compatibility with this player depends on the DVD
    writer, the write software and the disc used.
    DVD video - Digital video discs - 12 cm and 8 cm, single or dou-
    bled sided, single or dual layer. DVDs are high-density optical discs
    on which high quality picture and audio are recorded by means of
    digital signals.
    DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW - Most DVD-R and DVD+R
    (one recording only), DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs (rewritable).
    Depending on the DVD writer and discs used. Recordings using
    DVD-R and DVD+RW discs must be made in Video DVD mode.
    Recordings using DVD+RW discs must be made in accordance with
    the specifications for DVD+RW discs with a 4.7 GB capacity.
    VCD, Video Compact Disc - CD on which you can record up to 74
    minutes of VHS-quality video associated with still images, audio
    tracks and interactive menu.
    SVCD, Super Video Compact Disc - Most SVCDs comply with the
    IEC62107 standards. SVCDs can be used to record up to 70 min-
    utes of digital sound and images in accordance with MPEG-2 stan-
    dards for video and MPEG-1 standards for audio.
    Audio CDs - Audio CDs (8 and 12cm)
    CD-R, CD-RW - Most CD-R (one recording only) and CD-RW
    discs (rewritable). This player can play most CD-R discs. CD-Rs
    written during a multisession recording can also be played, provid-
    ed that the session had ended before the disc is played (depend-
    ing on the write software). However, depending on the condition of
    the CD writer, computer and the disc used, you may find that not
    all discs will play successfully. When playing a CD-R disc, it is com-
    pletely normal for the unit to take up to 30 seconds to recognize
    the disc before starting to play. If the disc is not recognized
    after a period of 30 seconds, remove the disc and then insert it
    again.
    •Irrespective of the actual recording capacity of the CD-R, do
    not use its full capacity.
    •CD-Rs should be preferably used instead of CD-RWs (rewritable
    CDs) as, in certain cases, CD-RW playback may be faulty.
    •Use reliable, good-quality CD write software.
    •Close all other applications on the computer to ensure reliable
    CD-R disc recording.
    Disc you cannot play

    Connecting the Speakers 
    Speakers
    There are 6 speakers equipped with the unit (2 front, 1 cen-
    ter, 2 rear, 1 subwoofer). In order to enjoy good surround
    effects, You need to connect the front speakers, center
    speakers and subwoofer to the main unit; and connect the
    rear speakers to the wireless receiver.
    Speaker Polarity 
    When connecting the speakers, make sure the polarities
    (“+” speaker wire to “+” on the receiver) of speaker wires
    and terminals are matched. If the cords are reversed, the
    sound will be distorted and lack bass (“out of phase”
    effect).
    Do not ground the output line, it will cause damage to the
    speaker.

    Wireless speaker connection
    Wireless signal transmitter
    The subwoofer comes with the unit is, at the same time,
    the wireless signal transmitter. It converts the audio signal
    from the unit into 5.8GHz radio frequency and transmit it
    to the receiver. Connect the RJ45 connector at the back of
    the subwoofer to the back of the main unit, whenever the
    main unit is on, the subwoofer will transmit audio signal to
    the rear speakers through the wireless signal receiver.
    Wireless signal receiver
    The wireless signal receiver will pick up the best audio sig-
    nal from wither one of its antennas and convert the signal
    back to its original form, and pass it to the rear speakers.
    Connecting procedures
    1. Connect the subwoofer (transmitter) to the main unit
    using RJ45 connector and speaker wires.
    2. Connect the rear speakers to the wireless receiver and
    plug the AC power cord into the power outlet.
    3. Make sure the transmitter is in STANDBY mode before
    pressing the POWERbutton to turn the receiver on.
    4. The LED on the receiver will flash when searching for a
    signal, they will turn green after the signal has been found.
    5. Adjust the antenna on both the transmitter and receiver
    to get the best signal reception.
    Changing the channel frequency
    To minimize interference from other 5.8 GHz systems (Cell
    phone, wireless LAN), you may select a different transmis-
    sion channel if you should experience interference. The
    channel selector is located on the front panel of the sub-
    woofer (transmitter). You may change the transmission
    channel according to the table below:

    Note:
    1. You need to restart the main unit when-
    ever a different transmission signal is
    selected.
    2. People walking between the transmitter
    and receiver may cause interference.
    3. The maximum transmission range is 30 meters, walls and
    obstacle blocking between may affect the efficient trans-
    mission range.
    4. It is advised that you should place the receiver as high
    as possible.
     
    						
    							Getting Started
    Positioning your speaker
    1   Left, Right (Front Speakers)
    They carry primarily music and sound effects.
    2   Center
    In surround mode, the center speaker carries much of the
    dialogue as well as music and effects. It should be set
    between the left and right speakers.
    3   Surround (Rear Speakers)
    Their overall sound balance should be as close as possible
    to the front speakers. Proper placement is vital to establish
    an evenly distributed sound field.
    Subwoofer
    A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low bass
    effects (explosions, the rumble of spaceships, etc.) which
    dramatically heightens involvement with the action on the
    screen.
    Magnetic shielding
    Speakers placed less than two feet from the TV set must be
    magnetically shielded in order to prevent picture distor-
    tion. Front and center speakers provided with this unit are
    magnetically shielded to protect your TV set.
    It is not recommended to place the rear speakers and sub-
    woofer near the TV set.
    Front Speaker Placement
    Even if you can't duplicate this ideal home theater setup
    exactly, the following suggestions for speaker placement
    will help you to get better results.
    Alignment
    Align the center speaker evenly with (A), or slightly behind
    (B), the left and right speakers, but not ahead of them.
    Advanced Setting
    Angle
    Placing the left and right speakers to form a 45-degree
    angle with your favorite viewing position will duplicate the
    soundtrack mixer's perspective.
    Height
    The mid- and high-frequency drivers of the three front
    speakers should be as close as possible to the same height.
    This often requires placing the center speaker directly atop
    (A) or beneath (B) the TV set.

    							Getting Started
    Preferred surround placement
    Location
    If possible, place surround speakers to either side of the lis-
    tening area, not behind it.
    Height
    If space permits, install surround speakers 2-3 feet above
    viewers. This helps to minimize localization effects.
    Aiming
    Aiming surround speakers straight across the room, not
    down at viewers, helps create a more open, spacious sur-
    round sound field.
    Advanced Setting
    Alternative Surround Placement
    Rear wall
    If rear wall mounting is the only choice, aim the speakers at
    each other (A), towards the front (B) or even towards the
    sidewalls (C, D). Experiment with placement until surround
    sounds seem to envelop you, rather than coming from
    behind you.
    No adjacent walls
    Surround speakers can go on stands facing each other to
    approximate the preferred sidewall mounting (A), or to the
    sides or rear of the viewing area aimed upwards. In the lat-
    ter case, they can go right on the floor, or preferably, a few
    feet off the floor such as on end tables (B).
