Cleaning discs
To clean a disc, use a micro fibre cleaning
cloth and wipe the disc from the center
to the edge in a straight line.
General Information
CAUTION!
Do not use solvents such as benzene,
thinner, commercially available cleaners,
or anti-static sprays intended for discs.
Since the optical unit (laser) of the DVD
system operates at a higher power than
regular DVD or CD players, cleaning CDs
intended for DVD or CD players may
damage the optical unit (laser). Therefore,
refrain from using a cleaning CD.
Setup
Finding a suitable location
– Place the set on a flat, hard and stable
surface. Do not place the set on a carpet.
– Do not position the set on top of
other equipment that might heat it up
(e.g., receiver or amplifier).
– Do not put anything under the set
(e.g., CDs, magazines).
– Install this system near the AC outlet
and where the AC power plug can be
reached easily.
Space for ventilation
– Place the apparatus in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent internal
heat build up. Allow at least 10 cm (4.5”)
clearance from the rear and the top of
the set and 5cm (2.3”) from the left and
right to prevent overheating.
10cm (4.5")
10cm (4.5")
5cm (2.3")
5cm (2.3")
Avoid high temperatures, moisture,
water and dust
– Apparatus shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing.
– Do not place any sources of danger on
the apparatus (e.g., liquid filled objects,
lighted candles).

Connections
For best possible surround sound, all the
speakers (except 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 subwoofer on the floor near
the TV.

Connections (continued)
1 Connect the supplied speaker to the rear
of the AV subwoofer using the fixed
speaker cables by matching the colours of
the jacks and speaker connectors.
2 Use the inter-connect cable to connect the
DVD system’s TO AV SUBWOOFER
socket to the TO DVD SYSTEM socket
at the back of the AV subwoofer.
Helpful Hints:
– Ensure that the speaker cables are
correctly connected. Improper connections
may damage the system due to a short-
circuit.

the AV subwoofer too close to the DVD
system, AC power adapter, TV or other
radiation sources.
