Care and safety information

Avoid high temperatures, moisture, water and dust

– Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight). Always keep the disc tray closed to avoid getting dust on the lens.

Avoid condensation problem

– The lens may cloud over when the player is suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings, making it impossible to play a disc. Leave the player in the warm environment until the moisture evaporates.

Do not block the vents

– Do not operate the DVD system/AV

Subwoofer in an enclosed cabinet and allow about 10 cm (4 inches) of free space all around the player for adequate ventilation.

Look for the matching color sticker at the bottom of the speakers and on top of the speaker stands before attaching them.

2

If you want to disconnect speaker from the speaker stand, use a sharp end object

(e.g. pen) to slot into the small hole at the rear of the speaker stand while pulling up the speaker.

Helpful Hints:

– Red colour stickers for front right and white colour stickers for front left.

– Grey colour stickers for rear right and blue colour stickers for rear left.

For best possible surround sound, all the speakers (except AV subwoofer) should be placed at the same distance from the listening position.

1

Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances from the TV and at an angle of approximately 45 degrees from the listening position.

2

Place the centre speaker above the TV or the DVD system so that the centre channel’s sound is localised.

3

Place the rear speakers at normal listening ear level facing each other or hang on the wall.

4

Place the AV subwoofer on the floor near the TV.

Helpful Hints:

– To avoid magnetic interference, do not position the front speakers too close to your

TV.

– Allow adequate ventilation around the

DVD system/AV subwoofer.
