BEST LOCATION The unit should be placed on a firm, flat surface, away from VCRs, stereos, radios, or large speakers, as the magnetic flux from these devices may cause distortion in the sound and a poor picture. If placed in a cabinet, be sure there is at least 1 " of free space completely around the unit for proper ventilation. TO OBTAIN A CLEAR PICTURE A DVD receiver is a precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts become dirty or worn down, picture quality will become poor. To obtain a clear picture, regular inspection and maintenance are recommended every 1,000 hours of use, depending on the operating environment. Contact dealer for details.

Push down and out on the battery Compartment cover to remove it. 2. Insert the two " AAA " batteries into the battery compartment of the remote control, making sure the + and - signs on the batteries and inside the battery compartment match up. 3. Replace the battery compartment cover. Notes: Do not mix batteries from different manufacturers, nor old ones with new. If the remote control will not be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to prevent damage-causing corrosion. Remove dead batteries immediately to prevent damage-causing corrosion. If battery leakage occurs, wipe the battery liquid from the battery compartment, then replace both batteries. Always replace both batteries at the same time, using new, fully charged batteries. Life expectancy of batteries may vary depending on amount of use. Notes: Do not direct the remote sensor toward any light source, such as direct sunlight or a strong fluorescent light, as it may cause the unit to not operate correctly. When other remote controls are used nearby or when the remote is used near equipment using infrared rays, interference may occur. Placing an object on the remote control may cause it to inadvertently depress a button, changing a function and shortening battery life. Do not glaze the front of the DVD receiver with colored glass, as it may cause interference with normal operation of the controller. Make sure there is no barrier between the remote control and remote sensor, as it could prevent the unit from receiving the signal. Do not spill water or put wet items on the remote control. Never disassemble the remote control. 10 Using the Remote Control Point the remote control at the remote sensor on the DVD receiver. When the signal is received from the remote, the unit will function accordingly. The remote will operate to approximately 16' from the remote sensor at an angle of around 30 each direction. BATTERIES INCORRECT USE OF BATTERIES MAY CAUSE THEM TO LEAK, CORRODE OR EXPLODE.

Read carefully and follow the manufacturers' instructions of any video and audio device being connected to this unit. Do not connect the power until all connections have been properly completed. Red terminal (marked R) is for connecting the right channel. The white terminal (marked L) is for connecting the left channel. The yellow terminal is for video connection. Make sure all connections are securely made. Improper connections may cause noise, poor performance, or cause damage to the equipment. Do not tie the AV cord with any other cords, such as the power cord or speaker wires, as it may result in poor picture and/or sound quality. SPEAKERS The configuration and arrangement of a surround sound system's speakers is critical. For maximum listening enjoyment, refer to the Arrangement of Speakers section in this manual prior to connecting speakers. Surround Sound Speakers Front or main right and left speakers; center speaker These three speakers provide extensive sound imaging and augment the dynamic effect of the audio. A movie's principal dialogue comes through these speakers. Rear or surround sound speakers These two speakers provide 3-D dynamic sound effects, and create an enveloping atmosphere, as they add background sounds. . Subwoofer speaker Provides rich and powerful bass, adding a powerful dimension of realism. Note: Audio recorded for the center speaker and subwoofer will be assigned to the front and 3-D rear speakers to obtain the optimum 3-D surround sound effect. 1 3 2 4 ARRANGEMENT OF SPEAKERS The ideal surround sound speaker configuration may vary according to room size and wall material. The figure below illustrates a typical arrangement. Hints: Front or main speakers and central speaker should be placed at the same level and in a way that sound is oriented toward the listener's ears. 3D surround sound or rear speakers should be placed 3' higher than the height of listener's ears. Subwoofer speaker may be placed anywhere within the room, as its location produces little effect on a listener's sensation to sound. To obtain the optimum bass effect, a subwoofer is recommended in home theater systems. 12 5 6 7 1.TV set or screen 2.

Connecting Speaker Cables 1.Peel off approximately 1/ 2" of cable insulation 2.Tighten the wire end (#2 below) 3.Open cable terminal by pressing back on tab 4.Insert wire end into terminal 5.Release tab; make sure wire is in terminal securely Note: To prevent damage to the circuit, care should be taken to prevent short circuiting from occurring at the positive and negative poles of the speaker cord. Important The minimum impedance of the five speaker terminals is 4 ohm; for the subwoofer, it is 8 ohm. If you want to use only one speaker or listen to monophonic music, do not parallel connect individual speakers to the left and right channel ter ...
