Preparations
Preparing the remote control
Insert the batteries into the remote control by matching the
polarity (+ and –) correctly.
If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases,
replace both batteries.
Caution:
Be careful your children do not put the batteries into their
mouths.
To change the color system and scanning mode
You can select the video output to match it to the color
system of your TV (PAL or NTSC).
• If you connect a progressive TV through the component
video cords, you can enjoy a high quality picture by
selecting progressive scanning mode.
• You can change the setting only while playback is stopped.
While “DVD/CD” is selected as the source and playback is
stopped...
PAL/NTSC
For a conventional PAL or NTSC TV.
PAL PRGR /
NTSC PRGR
For a progressive PAL or NTSC TV.
Do not connect the power cord until all other connections have been made.
Supplied Accessories
After unpacking, check to be sure that you have all the
following items.
• FM antenna (×1)
• AM loop antenna (×1)
• Composite video cord (×1)
• Remote control; RM-SNXD4A (×1)
• Batteries (×2)
If any items are missing, consult your dealer immediately.
Speakers
When connecting the speaker cords, match the polarity
of the speaker terminal: red to (+) and black to (–)
TV/monitor
• Connect your TV directly to the System. Connecting
the System to a TV via other device, such as a VCR
or an HDD/DVD recorder, may interfere with your
viewing. Connecting an integrated TV/VCR system to
the System may also interfere with your viewing.
• After connecting a TV, select the appropriate video
signal output according to the color system. See
“Preparations” next.
• To select progressive scanning mode, use the
COMPONENT jacks.
AM/FM antenna
To assemble the AM loop antenna
Keep the AM loop antenna cable wrapped around the
AM loop antenna frame, otherwise the effectiveness and
sensitivity of the AM loop antenna may be reduced.
For better FM reception,
disconnect the supplied FM
antenna, and connect to an outdoor FM antenna using a
75 Ω wire with coaxial type connector (not supplied).
Digital audio component
• Set “DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” in the “AUDIO”
menu correctly according to the connected digital
audio equipment (refer to “Setup Menu” in “Operating
Guide”).
• Digital signal through the OPTICAL DIGITAL
OUTPUT terminal is transmitted only when “DVD/
CD” or “USB” is selected as the source.

clean.
Handling Discs
• Remove the disc from its case by holding it at the edge
while pressing the center hole lightly.
• Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or bend the disc.
• Put the disc back in its case after use to prevent warping.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc when
placing it back in its case.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperature,
and moisture.
To clean the disc
Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from center
to edge.
Cleaning the System
• Stains should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the System is
heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water-diluted
neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a
dry cloth.
• Since the System may deteriorate in quality, become
damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the
following:
– DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth.
– DO NOT wipe it forcefully.
– DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.
– DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as
insecticides to it.
– DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in
contact for a long time.
