Push open the tabs, then insert 
one wire fully into each terminal.

Release the tabs to secure the AM 
antenna wires.

Pull off the protective 

shields of both AM antenna 

wires.

Fix the AM loop antenna to the 
attached stand.

To fix the stand to the antenna, bend in the 
direction indicated by the arrow (fig. a) then 
clip the loop onto the stand (fig. b).

Note:

 If you plan to mount the AM antenna 

to a wall or other surface, secure the stand 
with screws (fig. c) before clipping the loop 
to the stand. Make sure the reception is clear.

6

Place the AM antenna on a flat 
surface and point in the direction 
giving the best reception. 

Don’t let it come into contact with metal 
objects and avoid placing near computers, 
television sets or other electrical appliances.

Connect the FM wire antenna to the FM UNBAL 75

 antenna terminal.

For best results, extend the FM antenna fully and fix to a wall or door  
frame. Don’t drape loosely or leave coiled up. 

Note:

 

The signal earth (

H

) is designed to reduce noise that occurs when an  

antenna is connected. It is not an electrical safety earth.

When connecting this system or changing connections, be sure to switch the power off with the 

STANDBY/ON

 button, and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.

Do not use these speakers with any other system or amplifier as this may result in damage or fire.

Connect each speaker using the color-coded 
speaker cords. Match them to the colored labels 
above the speaker terminals.

Connect each speaker as shown below.

Twist and pull off the 
protective shields on each 
wire.

Connect one end to the DVD 
receiver. Match the colored 
wire with the color-coded 
label (above the tabs), then 
insert the colored wire into 
the red (+) tab and the other 
wire with the black (–) tab. 

Connect the other end to the 
speaker in the same way.

Color coding

For the best surround sound, setup your 
speakers as above. The front left and right 
speakers should be about 1.8–2.7 m apart.

Remove the supplied non-slip pads from the paper, and stick four  
onto the base of each satellite speaker. 
Actual speakers supplied may differ from those shown.

Congratulations! You're done setting up.

See the enclosed setup guide for detailed  
instructions on setting up your front speakers. 

These speaker terminals can be under HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE. When you  
connect or disconnect the speaker cables, to prevent the risk of electric shock,  
do not touch uninsulated parts before disconnecting the power cord. 

Connect the DVD/CD receiver to your TV, then connect the 
supplied power cord.

Connect the power cord to the AC inlet.

Using the remote control

The remote control  can be used within a range of about 7 meters from the remote sensor on the front panel, and within a 
30 degree angle. 

Precautions:

•   The remote control may not work if there is an obstacle between the remote control and the display unit, or if the remote 
control is not directed towards the remote sensor of the display unit at the correct angle.
•   The remote control may not work properly if strong light such as direct sunlight or fluorescent light is shining onto the 
unit’s remote sensor.
•   The remote control may not work properly when this unit is used near devices emitting infrared rays, or when remote 
controls of other devices which use infrared rays are used. Also, the use of this remote control may cause other devices to 
work improperly.
•   When the operating range of the remote becomes too short, replace the batteries.

       Remote control battery caution
Incorrect use of batteries may cause leakage or rupture.  

Always be sure to follow these guidelines:
•   Always insert batteries into the battery compartment correctly matching the  
positive 

ª

 and negative 

·

 polarities, as shown by the display inside the compartment.

•   Never mix new and used batteries.
•   Batteries of the same size may have different voltages, depending on brand.  Do not mix different brands of batteries. 
•   When disposing of used batteries, please comply with governmental regulations or environmental public instruction's rules 
that apply in your country or area.
•   In order to prevent battery leakage, remove the batteries when not using the remote control for an extended period (one 
month or more).  If leakage occurs, carefully wipe away any battery fluid inside the compartment, and replace the batteries 
with new ones.
•   Do not allow books or other objects to rest on top of the remote control, since the buttons may be depressed, causing 
faster exhaustion of the batteries. 

 

      Additional notes on connecting antennas

•   Keep antenna cables away from other cables and the display unit and main set.
•   To assure optimum reception, pull the FM antenna so that it is fully extended and not coiled or hanging at the rear of the unit.
•   If reception with the supplied antenna is poor, see the 

Additional Connections

 section in the main operating instructions 

for details on connecting outdoor antennas.

      Additional notes on speaker placement

Place speakers as shown in step 4 to achieve the optimum surround sound effect
•   Install the main front left and right speakers at an equal distance from the TV.
•   For optimum effect, install the rear speakers slightly above ear level.
•   This system's speakers are magnetically shielded, so there's virtually no picture color distortion when they are placed near 
a TV. In the rare event that there is some picture color interference, switch power to the TV off, and wait 15 to 30 minutes 
before switching on again.
•   Install the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.
•   When installing the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with tape or some other suitable means. 
Otherwise, the speaker may fall from the TV due to external shocks such as earthquakes, endangering those nearby or 
damaging the speaker. 
•   Do not connect the supplied speakers with any other amplifier. This may result in malfunction or fire. 

* In some countries or regions, the shape of the 
power plug  may sometimes differ from that 
shown in the explanatory drawings.

Connect the other end to the video output of the DVD receiver.

This player is equipped with copy protection technology. Do not connect this 
player to your TV via a VCR using AV cables, as the picture from this player will not 
appear properly on your TV.
