EX.: Overhead view Front left speaker Center surround speaker Front right speaker • Place the speakers on a flat and level surface. • The front and center surround speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid causing color distortions on TVs. However, if not installed properly, they may cause color distortions. So, pay attention to the following when installing the speakers. – When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off the TV’s main power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers. Then wait at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV’s main power switch again. Some TVs may be still affected even though you have followed the above. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV. • The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded. If it is located near the TV or monitor, it will probably cause color distortion on the screen. To avoid this, do not place the speakers near the TV or monitor. • Be sure to place the subwoofer to the right of the TV. If you place the subwoofer to the left, keep sufficient distance between them to prevent the TV screen from appearing mottled. 8 EN_TH-U1[B]-03body.fm Page 9 Wednesday, July 25, 2007 4:06 PM Do not connect the power cord until all other connections have been made.

Switching to a broadcast program of your choice temporarily Another convenient Radio Data System service is called “Enhanced Other Network”. This allows the system to switch temporarily to a broadcast program of your choice (TA, News, and Info) from a different station except in the following cases: • When you are listening to non-Radio Data System stations (all AM—MW stations, some FM stations and other sources). • When the system is in standby mode. NOTE • Before you start operations: – The Enhanced Other Network function is only applicable to preset stations. Press TA/News/Info repeatedly while holding SHIFT, until the program type indicator (TA/News/Info) you want appears in the display window. Each time you repeat the procedure, the indicator in the display window changes.

To stop listening to the program selected by Enhanced Other Network Press TA/News/Info repeatedly again so that the program type indicator (TA/News/Info) goes off from the display window. The system exits from Enhanced Other Network standby mode and goes back to the previously selected station. When an emergency broadcast (ALARM signal) is sent from an FM station The system automatically tunes in to the station and “ALARM” appears in the display window while the system is receiving the emergency broadcast. Note that an emergency broadcast cannot be received in the following cases: • When you are listening to non-Radio Data System stations (all AM—MW stations, some FM stations and other sources). • When the system is in standby mode. The TEST signal is used for equipment testing— whether it can receive the ALARM signal correctly The TEST signal makes the system work in the same way as the ALARM signal does. If the TEST signal is received, the system automatically switches to the station broadcasting the TEST signal. While receiving the TEST signal, “TEST” appears in the display window. 7 How the Enhanced Other Network function actually works Case 1 If there is no station broadcasting the program you have selected The system remains tuned in to the current station. ‘ When a station starts broadcasting the program you have selected, the system automatically switches to that station. The indicator of the received PTY code starts flashing. ‘ When the program is over, the system goes back to the previously tuned in station, but the Enhanced Other Network function still remains active. Case 2 If the FM station you are listening to is broadcasting the program you have selected The system continues to receive the station but the indicator of received PTY code starts flashing. ‘ When the program is over, the indicator of the received PTY code stops flashing and remains lit, but the Enhanced Other Network function still remains active. NOTE • In Enhanced Other Network standby mode, if you change the source to play, Enhanced Other Network standby mode is canceled temporarily. If you change the source to FM again, the system returns to Enhanced Other Network standby mode. • Enhanced Other Network data sent from some stations may not be compatible with this system. • Enhanced Other Network does not function for some FM stations with the Radio Data System service. • While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other Network function, the station does not change even if another network station starts broadcasting a program with the same Enhanced Other Network data. • While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other Network function, you can only use TA/News/Info and DISPLAY (while holding SHIFT) as the tuner operation buttons. 38 EN_TH-U1[B]-03body.fm Page 39 Wednesday, July 25, 2007 4:06 PM References Maintenance 7 Handling Discs • Remove the disc from its case by holding it at the edge while pressing the center hole lightly. • Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc or bend the disc. • Put the disc back in its case after use to prevent warping. • Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc when placing it back in its case. • Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperature and moisture.

Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections. Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment. Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment. DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way — switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer. DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages. DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people. DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of traffic safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving. DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your hearing. DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment. DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions. DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture. ABOVE ALL —NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case — this could result in a fatal electrical shock.; —NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe than sorry!
