Connect the FM wire antenna to the FM UNBAL 75Ω 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.
Connect each speaker as shown below.
Match the color-coded speaker
plugs to the colored speaker
terminals on the rear of the
DVD/CD receiver (as shown at
left). Make sure to insert
Upper three terminals
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
Lower three terminals
sure to connect correctly.
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.

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
fig. C
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 subwoofer to the wall or ceiling; they could cause
injury if they fell.
