PRECAUTIONS
Ensure that the AC power supply in your house complies with the identifi cation sticker located on the back of your player. Install your
player horizontally, on a suitable base (furniture), with enough space around it for ventilation (3~4 inches). Make sure the ventilation slots
are not covered. Before moving the player, ensure the disc tray is empty. This player is designed for continuous use. Switching off the DVD

ply, remove the main plug from the wall outlet, especially when left unused for a long period of time.
During thunderstorms, disconnect the AC main plug from the
wall outlet. Voltage peaks due to lightning could damage the unit.
Protect the player from moisture (i.e. vases) , and excess heat
(e.g.fi replace) or equipment creating strong magnetic or electric fi elds
(i.e.speakers...). Disconnect the power cable from the AC supply if the
player malfunctions. Your player is not intended for industrial use. Use of
this product is for personal use only.
Condensation may occur if your player or disc has been stored in
cold temperatures. If transporting the player during the winter,
wait approxi
mately 2 hours until the unit has reached room temperature
before using.
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or other heat sources.
This could lead to overheating and malfunction of the unit.
The batteries used with this product contain chemicals that are harmful to
the environment.
Do not dispose of batteries in the general household trash.

This section involves various methods of connecting the Digital Home Theater to
other external components.
Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and
disconnect the power cord.
CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS
Position of Digital Home Theater
Place it on a stand or cabinet shelf, or under the TV stand.
Selecting the Listening Position
The listening position should be located about 2.5 to 3 times the distance of the TV's screen size away
from the TV.
Example : For 32" TVs 2~2.4m (6~8feet)
For 55" TVs 3.5~4m (11~13feet)
Front Speakers 
Place these speakers in front of your listening position, facing inwards (about 45°) toward you.
Place the speakers so that their tweeters will be at the same height as your ear.
Align the front face of the front speakers with the front face of the center speaker or place them slightly
in front of the center speakers.
Subwoofer
The position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you like.
Center Speaker
It is best to install it at the same height as the front speakers. You can also install it directly over or under
the TV.
Rear Speakers 
Place these speakers behind your listening position. If there isn't enough room, place these speakers
such that they face each other. Place them about 60 to 90cm (2 to 3feet) above your ear, facing slightly
downward.
* Unlike the front and center speakers, the rear speakers are used to handle mainly sound effects and
sound will not come from them all the time.

connections
Connecting The Speakers
Press down the terminal tab on the back of the speaker.
Insert the black wire into the black terminal (–) and the red wire into
the red (+) terminal, and then release the tab.

Make sure the colors of the speaker terminals match the colors of
the connecting plugs.

Do not let children play with or near the speakers. They could get hurt if a speaker falls.
When connecting the speaker wires to the speakers, make sure that the polarity (+/ –) is correct.
Keep the subwoofer speaker out of reach of children so as to prevent children from inserting their hands or
other objects into the duct (hole) of the subwoofer speaker.
Do not hang the subwoofer on the wall through the duct (hole).
If you place a speaker near your TV set, screen color may be distorted because of the magnetic fi eld generated
by the speaker. If this occurs, place the speaker away from your TV set.

CONNECTING THE OPTIONAL WIRELESS RECEIVING AMPLIFIER
To connect the rear speakers by wireless, you have to purchase the wireless receiving module and TX card from
your Samsung retailer.
When you have Purchased the Wireless Receiving Module (SWA-4000)
Connect the front, center and Subwoofer speakers to the
DVD Player. Please refer to Page 18.
With the DVD Player turned off, insert the TX card into the TX
Card Connection(WIRELESS) on the back of the main unit.
Hold the TX card so that the slanted side faces downward
and insert the card into the port.
The TX card enables communication between the main
unit and the wireless receiver.
Connect the left and right rear speakers to the wireless
receiving module.
Plug the power cord of the wireless receiving module into
the wall outlet and turn the module ON.

Place the wireless receiver module at the rear of the listening
position. If the wireless receiver module is too close to the main unit,
some sound interruption may be heard due to interference.
If you use a device such as a microwave oven, wireless LAN Card,
Bluetooth equipment, or any other device that uses the same frequency
(5.8GHz) near the system, some sound interruption may be heard due to
interference.
The transmission distance of a radio wave is about 10m, but may
vary depending on your operating environment. If a steel-concrete
wall or metallic wall is between the main unit and the wireless
receiver module, the system may not operate at all, because the
radio wave cannot penetrate metal.
This product(HT-X715) is compatible with the wireless receiver module SWA-3000.
Do not insert any other card except the TX card dedicated to the product. The product might be damaged or
the card may not be removed easily.
Do not insert the TX card upside down or in the reverse direction.
Insert the TX card when the DVD Player is turned off. Inserting the card when it is turned on may cause a
problem.
If the TX Card is inserted, sound is not output from the Rear Speaker connectors on the main unit.
The wireless receiving antenna is built into the wireless receiver module. Keep the unit away from water and
moisture.
For optimal listening performance, make sure that the area around the wireless receiver module location is
clear of any obstructions.
If no sound is heard from the wireless rear speakers, switch the mode to DVD 5.1 channel or Dolby ProLogic II.
In 2-CH mode, no sound will be heard from the wireless rear speakers.
