Putting Batteries in the Remote Control Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first. · When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the center unit. 1. On the back of the remote control, remove the battery cover. Locations · Install the center unit in a location that is level and protected from moisture. · The temperature around the center unit must be between 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F). · Make sure there is good ventilation around the center unit. Poor ventilation could cause overheating and damage the center unit. Handling the center unit · DO NOT touch the power cord with wet hands. · DO NOT pull on the power cord to unplug the cord. When unplugging the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage the cord. · Keep the power cord away from the connecting cords and the antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. It is recommended to use a coaxial cable for antenna connection, since it is well-shielded against interference. · When a power failure occurs, or when you unplug the power cord, the preset settings such as preset FM/AM channels and sound adjustments may be erased in a few days. 2. Insert batteries. Make sure to match the polarity: (+) to (+) and (­) to (­). 3. Replace the cover. Checking the Supplied Accessories Check to be sure you have all of the following supplied accessories. The number in the parentheses indicates the quantity of the pieces supplied. · · · · · Remote Control (1) Batteries (2) AM Loop Antenna (1) FM Antenna (1) Video cord (1) If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace the batteries. Use two UM-4"AAA"/IEC "R03" type dry-cell batteries. CAUTION: Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells: · Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity: (+) to (+) and (­) to (­). · Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may differ in voltage. · Always replace both batteries at the same time. · Do not expose batteries to heat or flame. If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately. 4 Connecting the FM and AM Antennas If AM reception is poor, connect single vinyl-covered wire (not supplied). 1 2 3 AM Loop Antenna (supplied) If FM reception is poor, connect outdoor FM antenna (not supplied). FM Antenna (supplied) Snap the tabs on the loop into the slots of the base to assemble the AM loop antenna. Y/C COMP. MIN MIN MIN MIN Cooling fan (See "About the cooling fan" below.) Center unit FM antenna connection Connect the supplied FM antenna to the FM 75 COAXIAL terminal as temporary measure. Extend the supplied FM antenna horizontally. · If reception is poor, connect an outdoor antenna. Before attaching a 75 coaxial cable (with a standard type connector), disconnect the supplied FM antenna. AM antenna connection Connect the supplied AM loop antenna to the AM and H terminals. Turn the loop until you have the best reception. · If reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinyl-covered wire to the AM terminal. (Keep the AM loop antenna connected.) Note: If the AM loop antenna wire is covered with vinyl, remove the vinyl by twisting it as shown in the diagram. About the cooling fan A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel of the center unit to prevent abnormal temperature inside the center unit, thus assuring normal operation of the unit. The cooling fan automatically starts rotating to supply external cool air to the inside of the center unit when the internal temperature goes up. For safety, observe the following carefully. · Make sure there is good ventilation around the center unit. Poor ventilation could overheat and damage the center unit. · DO NOT block the cooling fan and the ventilation openings or holes. (If they are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.) · DO NOT touch the speaker cords to the cooling fan. 5 Getting Started Speaker Layout Diagram Center unit COMPACT DIGITAL VIDEO STANDBY AUDIO/FM MODE STANDBY/ON DSP VOLUME SOURCE DVD DIGITAL CINEMA SYSTEM TH-A30R DIGITAL SURROUND DIGITAL Left front speaker Right front speaker Subwoofer Center speaker Left rear speaker Right rear speaker Y/C COMP.

Labels are attached to the speaker cords to indicate the terminals to be connected. · Connect the red cord to the red (+) terminal, and the black cord to the black (­) terminal respectively. CAUTION: Use speakers with the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by the speaker terminals. When setting the speakers To obtain the best possible sound from this system, you need to place all the speakers except the subwoofer at the same distance from the listening position with each front faced toward the listener. Since bass sound is non-directional, you can place a subwoofer wherever you like. Normally place it in front of you. Left front speaker Center speaker Right front speaker Subwoofer Connecting speaker cords to the terminals 1 2 3 Left rear speaker Right rear speaker 1 Press and hold the terminal clamp. 2 Insert the speaker cord. 3 Release the finger from the clamp. Notes: · If the speaker cord is covered with vinyl, remove the vinyl by twisting it as shown in the diagram. · Make sure the core wire of speaker cords do not expose to out of the terminals. This could cause short-circuit. If your speakers cannot be placed at the same distance from the listening position You can adjust the delay time of the center speaker and rear speakers. For in-depth information about adjusting the delay time, see "Setting the Delay Time" on page 16 and 17. Note: You can change the phase of subwoofer sounds by connecting the speaker cords to the terminals inversely--the red cord to the black terminal, and the black cord to the red terminal. You may get the more effective bass sounds by changing the phase. CAUTION: · When attaching the satellite speakers on the wall, have them attached to the wall by a qualified person. DO NOT attach the satellite speakers on the wall by yourself to avoid an unexpected damage of their falling from the wall, caused by incorrect attachment or weakness in the wall. · Care is required in selecting a location for attaching speakers to the wall. Injury to personnel, or damage to equipment, may result if the speakers are attached in a location which interferes with daily activities. 7 Getting Started Connecting Audio/Video Component Turn the power off to all components before connections. Audio component connection Connect the other component to the center unit with the audio cord. Use the cord supplied with the other component or purchase it at an electric appliance store. Illustrations of the input/output terminals below are typical examples. When you connect the other component, refer also to its manuals since the terminal name actually printed on the rear vary among the components.
