If a child accidentally swallows the battery, consult a doctor immediately. • To prevent the battery from overheating, cracking, or starting a fire: – Do not recharge, short, disassemble or heat the battery, or dispose of it in a fire. – Do not leave the battery with other metallic materials. – Wrap the battery with tape and insulate when throwing away or saving it. – Do not poke the battery with tweezers or similar tools. • Dispose of the battery in the proper manner, according to federal, state, and local regulations. 7 Connecting the TV remote pass through cable Installing the unit Install the unit on a flat and level surface to ensure the best sound quality. • The sound may be affected depending on the location in which you install it. To avoid such issues, change the location and orientation of the unit. • For cathode-ray tube television (CRT): – If you install the unit near the TV, color distortion may occur. To prevent this, turn off the TV’s main power or unplug it before installing the unit. Wait at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV’s main power again. – If the TV is still affected, move the unit further away. If you install the unit near the TV, the unit may block the remote control signal of the TV, and it may not be transmitted to the TV unit. Connect the TV remote pass through cable (supplied) to the unit for smooth signal transmission. As illustrated below, connect the TV remote pass through cable to the IR OUT terminal. Move the cable to the remote sensor of your TV as closely as possible. Connecting external components You can connect an analog component to the ANALOG IN terminal and digital components to the (OPTICAL) DIGITAL IN 1 and (COAXIAL) DIGITAL IN 2 terminals. You can also connect a subwoofer to the SUBWOOFER PRE-OUT terminal. CAUTION • Even if you connect the TV remote pass through cable to the unit, some TVs may not receive the remote control signal of the TV, because some TVs use different carrier frequency for the remote control. CAUTION • Do not drag or push the unit on the floor or table. Otherwise, the foot spacers at the bottom may peel off or drop from the unit. Subwoofer (not supplied) Rear of the unit RCA pin plug cord (not supplied) 7 Installing on the wall Rear of the unit Move it to the remote sensor of your TV as closely as possible, then stick it in any rear position of the unit You can install the unit on the wall.

White RCA pin plug cord (not supplied) Back Digital optical cord (not supplied) Wall Connecting the FM antenna A: B: C: D: E: FM antenna (supplied) Screw (not supplied) Rear of the unit Extend the FM antenna when connecting so that you can obtain the best reception. NOTES • Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals, connecting cords or the power cord. Also, keep the antennas away from metallic parts of the main unit, connecting cords, and the AC power cord. Otherwise, it could cause poor reception. • If you want to get a better reception, disconnect the supplied FM antenna, and connect to an outdoor FM antenna (not supplied) using a 75 Ω wire with coaxial type connector (IEC or DIN45325). 6 mm – 7 mm Maximum 8.5 mm Maximum 6 mm φ 4 mm (screw diameter) Minimum 15 mm CAUTION • The unit weighs approximately 3.3 kg. Sufficient care must be taken when installing it on the wall to prevent any accidents caused by its falling off. • Use screws, which are compatible with the strength and material of the pillar or wall to prevent the unit from falling off. • Do not install the unit onto a plywood or plasterboard wall; otherwise, it will fall and sustain damage. • When installing the unit on the wall; – Be sure to have it installed on the wall by qualified personnel. – Care must be taken when selecting a location for installation on the wall. Injury to personnel or damage to equipment may result if the installed unit interferes with daily activities. – AC adaptor should not be hanging/placed above any other items. Place the AC adaptor on the flat floor only. Digital coaxial cord (not supplied) Double-sided adhesive tape (supplied) Using the core filter To reduce interference, be sure to attach the provided core filters to the power cord and the external component cord.
