Setting up your DVD/CD Receiver

Check that you have all the accessories, then put

the batteries in the remote control.

Video cord

FM antenna

AM loop antenna

Connect the AM and FM antennas to the rear panel of the DVD/CD receiver.

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.

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 75 Ω 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 m to 2.7 m apart.

Congratulations! You're done setting up.

Printed in <ARB7350-A>

Connect the DVD/CD receiver to your TV, then connect the

supplied power cord.

Connect the power cord to the AC inlet.

Connect one end to a video input on your TV.

Use the supplied video 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 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.

• Do not use or store batteries in direct sunlight or

excessively hot places, such as inside a car or near a heater.

This can cause batteries to leak, overheat, explode or catch

fire. It can also reduce the life or performance of 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

Place the speakers as shown in step 3 to achieve the optimum

surround sound effect. Also observe the following guidelines:

• Install the main front left and right speakers at an equal

distance from the TV.

• 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.

• Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted together

and inserted fully into the speaker terminal. If any of the bare

speaker wire touches the back panel it may cause the power to

cut off as a safety measure.

• 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 min to 30 min. 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 attach the front, surround speakers and subwoofer

to the wall or ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury.

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.
