Things to Consider before You Connect
• Ensure that the mains (AC power) supply in your house complies with that indicated on the
identification sticker located on the back of your unit.
• Install your unit horizontally, away from any source of heat (fireplace) or appliances creating strong
magnetic or electric fields. The components of this unit are sensitive to heat. The maximum ambient
temperature should not exceed 35°C / 95°F.
• Leave enough space around the unit to allow adequate ventilation: 10 cm/4 inches on either side and
above the top, and 5 cm/2 inches at the rear.
• The humidity of the room should not exceed 75%. If you have to use the unit outdoors, do not
expose it to rain or splashing water. The apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or splashing
and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the apparatus.
• Moving the unit from a cold place to a warm one can cause condensation on some components
inside the unit. Let the condensation disappear on its own before turning the unit on again.
• Before moving the unit, make sure the disc tray is empty.
• Where the mains plug or an appliance coupler is used as a disconnect device, the disconnect device
shall remain readily operable.
• Other important use and cleaning information at the end of the booklet.

recommended to place speakers without magnetic shield near the TV set.
Front speakers
Front speakers carry primarily music and sound effects.
• Place the left and right speakers to form a 45-degree angle with your favorite viewing position to
duplicate the soundtrack mixer’s perspective.
• Place the speaker so that their tweeters will be at the same height as your ear.
• Align the front speakers with the centre speaker or place them slightly in front of the center
speakers.
Center speaker
In surround mode, the center speaker carries most of the dialog as well as music and effects.
• It should be set between the left and right speakers.
• It is best to install it at the same height as the front speakers.
Rear Speakers (Surround Speakers)
The surround speakers’ overall sound balance should be as close as possible to the front speakers.
Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly distributed sound field.
• If possible, place surround speakers to either side of the listening area, not behind it.
• If space permits, install surround speakers 2-3 feet above viewers. This helps to minimize localization
effects.

High-definition 16:9 formatted video will be displayed correctly on a wide-screen TV
(most modern TVs).

The video will be “squeezed” between two vertical columns on TV screen. This will
cause standard-definition 4:3 video to be displayed correctly on an wide-screen TV, but will distort
16:9 video.
4 : 3 Pan and Scan:
When high-definition 16:9 video is played, this mode clips the right and left
sides of the video so that it can be viewed with correct aspect ratio on an older analog TV that has 4:3
aspect ratio. This setting will distort video played on a wide-screen TV.
Some wide-screen DVDs that do not permit Pan Scan mode
playback
are
automatically
played in letterbox mode (black bands that appear at the top and bottom of the screen).
4 : 3 Letterbox:
When high-definition 16:9 video is played in this mode on an analog 4:3 aspect-ratio
TV, black bands appear at the top and bottom of the screen.
This will cause high-definition 16:9 video to be displayed correctly on a 4:3 screen but will distort
standard-definition 4:3 video displayed on a 4:3 screen, and will distort video played on a wide-
screen TV.
Notes
