Turn the surround speakers towards the closest wall, lining the arrows up
for optimal Front Surround.
Turn each surround speaker so that the arrow at the base is lined up with the FRONT
SURROUND arrow on the front speaker.
This is only necessary with the FrtMovie or FrtMusic
modes. With ExtPower (Extra Power),
line up the arrow with the EXTRA POWER arrow
(the surround speakers should be in the same direction as the front speakers). See the
operating instructions for more on the Front Surround modes.
This setup is ideal when rear surround speaker
placement isn’t possible or you want to avoid
running long speaker cables in your listening area.

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.

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 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.
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
speaker terminals on the rear panel of the
DVD/CD receiver.

Connect each speaker as shown below.
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.

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.
Since it is not magnetically
shielded, do not place any magnetic storage media (such as floppy
disks and tape or
video cassettes) close to the subwoofer.
• Do not fix the subwoofer and center speaker 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.
