Setting up your DVD/CD Receiver

1

Check that you have all the accessories, then put 
the batteries in the remote control.

Power cord * 

Video cord

FM antenna

AM loop antenna

2

Connect the AM and FM antennas to the rear panel of the DVD/CD receiver.

3

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.

4

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.

5

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.

3

Connect each speaker using the color-coded speaker cords. 
Match them to the colored speaker terminals on the rear 
panel of the DVD/CD receiver.

3

Connect each speaker as shown below.

(Subwoofer connentions start from step 3)

Twist and pull off the protective 
shields on each wire.

Connect the wires to the 
speaker. 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 
color-coded speaker terminals 
on the rear of the DVD/CD 
receiver (as shown at left). 
Make sure to insert completely.
The small lug at the wire-end of 
the speaker plug should face up 
or down depending on whether 
it's being plugged into one of 
the upper or lower three 
speaker terminals. Please make 
sure to connect correctly.

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.

Congratulations! You're done setting up.

These speaker terminals can be hazardous when live. 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.

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 the main unit and other 
cables.
•   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 

Other 

connections

 section in the main operating instructions for 

details on connecting outdoor antennas.

      Additional notes on speaker placement

If your listening room is of adequate size, place the speakers as 
shown in step 3 to achieve the optimum surround sound effect. 
If you are listening in a fairly small room and a typical surround 
speaker setup is not possible, see 

Home theater sound setup

 in 

the instruction manual and the 

Speaker Setup Guide

 for 

information on the Front Surround 3-spot setup option.
When using the standard surround speaker setup as shown in 
step 3, please observe the following guidelines:
•   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.
•   Install the center speaker above or below the TV so that the 
sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.

Precautions:

•   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.
•   The front, center and surround speakers supplied with this 
system are magnetically shielded. However, depending on the 
installation location, color distortion may occur if the speaker 
is installed extremely close to the screen of a television set. If 
this happens case, turn the power switch of the television set 
OFF, and turn it ON after 15 to 30 minutes. If the problem 
persists, place the speaker system away from the television set. 
•   The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded and so should 
not be placed near a TV or monitor. Magnetic storage media 
(such as floppy discs and tape or video cassettes) should also 
not be kept close to the subwoofer.
•   Do not fix the front, center speakers and subwoofer  to the 
wall or ceiling; they could cause injury if they fell. 

Connect the other end to the video output of the DVD/CD 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.
