Ensure that the AC power supply in your house complies with the identification sticker located on the back of your player. Install your player horizontally, on a suitable base (furniture), with enough space around it for ventilation (7.5~10cm). Make sure the ventilation slots are
not covered. Do not stack anything on top of the player. Do not place the player on amplifiers or other equipment which may become hot.
Before moving the player, ensure the disc tray is empty. This player is designed for continuous use. Switching off the DVD player to the
stand-by mode does not disconnect the electrical supply. In order to disconnect the player completely from the power
supply, remove the main plug from the wall outlet, especially when left unused for a long period of time.

PREPARATION

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT REMOVE REAR COVER (or BACK).
NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSONNEL.

Precautions

WARNING : To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.
CAUTION : TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT.
• This apparatus shall always be connected to a AC outlet with a protective grounding connection.
• To disconnect the apparatus from the mains, the plug must be pulled out from the mains socket, therefore the mains
plug shall be readily operable.
CAUTION
• Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases,
shall be placed on the apparatus.
• The Mains plug is used as a disconnect device and shall stay readily operable at any time.

Wiring the Main Power Supply Plug (UK Only)
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The main lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse. The value of the fuse is indicated on the pin face of the plug
and if it requires replacing, a fuse approved to BS1362 of the same rating must be used.
Never use the plug with the fuse cover removed. If the cover is detachable and a replacement is required, it must be of the same colour as the fuse
fitted in the plug. Replacement covers are available from your dealer.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for the power points in your house or the cable is not long enough to reach a power point, you should obtain
a suitable safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer for assistance.
However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the plug. Do not connect the plug to
a main socket as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible cord.
Never attempt to insert bare wires directly into a main socket. A plug and fuse must be used at all times.

During thunderstorms, disconnect the AC main plug from
the wall outlet.
Voltage peaks due to lightning could damage the unit.

Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or other heat sources.
This could lead to overheating and malfunction of the unit.

Phones

IMPORTANT
The wires in the main lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:– BLUE = NEUTRAL

Position of the DVD Player
• Place it on a stand or cabinet shelf, or under the TV stand.

Front Speakers L R
• 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

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)

Rear Speakers SL SR
• Place these speakers behind your listening position.
• If there isn't enough room, place these speakers so they face
•

each other.
Place them about 60 to 90cm (2 to 3feet) above your ear,
facing slightly downward.

Press down the terminal tab on the back of the speaker.

Connect the connecting plugs to the back of the Home Theater.

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.

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.

Center Speaker C
• 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.

Sound will be heard from the rear speakers in
* DVD
5.1-CH or Dolby Pro Logic II mode only.

Subwoofer SW
• The position of the subwoofer is not so critical.
Place it anywhere you like.

• 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 alien
substances 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 field generated
by the speaker. If this occurs, place the speaker away from your TV set.

Speaker Installation

Connecting the Optional Wireless Receiving Amplifier

With the HT-THX22front speakers and HT-THX25 front/rear speakers, you have the option of installing the speakers on

any obstructions.
• Sound will be heard from the wireless rear speakers in DVD 5.1-CH or Dolby Pro Logic II mode

only.
• In 2-CH mode, no sound will be heard from the wireless rear speakers.

• 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 (2.4GHz) 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.
