Care and safety information
(page 3 - P2)
Avoid high temperatures, moisture,
water and dust
– Do not expose the system, batteries or discs
to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused
by heating equipment or direct sunlight). Always
keep the disc tray closed to avoid getting dust on
the lens.
Supplied accessories (page 3 - P1)
– Remote control and two AA batteries.
– AM loop antenna
– FM wire antenna
– Video cinch cable (yellow)
– AC power cord

Environmental information
surroundings, making it impossible to play a disc.
Leave the system in the warm environment until
the moisture evaporates.
All unnecessary packaging has been omitted.We
have tried to make the packaging easy to
separate into three materials: cardboard (box),
polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags,
protective foam sheet).
Do not block the vents
– In a cabinet, allows about 10cm (4 inches) of
free space all around the system for adequate
ventilation.
Your system consists of materials which can be
recycled and reused if disassembled by a
specialized company. Please observe the local
regulations regarding the disposal of packaging
materials, exhausted batteries and old
equipment.
Care of disc
– To clean a CD, wipe it in a straight line from
the center towards the edge using a soft, lint-free
cloth. Do not use cleaning agents, as they may
damage the disc!
– Write only on the printed side of a CDR(W)
and only with a soft felt-tipped pen.
– Handle the disc by its edge, do not touch the
surface.
Care of the cabinet
– Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use a solution
containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasives.
Finding a suitable location
– Place the system on a flat, hard, stable surface.
Built-in safety circuit
– Under extreme conditions, this system may
switch to standby mode automatically. If this
happens, let the system cool down before
reusing it.
Power saving
– This system is designed to use less than 1W
of electricity when switches to Eco Power
standby. Disconnect the AC power cord from
the power outlet when not in use.

WARNING!
Step 3: Connecting to game
console
– Use only the supplied speakers. The
combination of the main unit and
speakers provide the best sound. Using
other speakers can damage the unit and
sound quality will be negatively affected.
– Never make or change connections
with the power switched on.
– Connect the AC power cord to the
power outlet only after you have finished
hooking up everything.
IMPORTANT!
Gameport inputs are solely for game
console only.
a. Use the game console’s video cable (not
supplied) to connect its video output to the
GAMEPORT-VIDEO terminal.
b. Use the game console’s audio cables (not
supplied) to connect its audio outputs to the
GAMEPORT-AUDIO L. / AUDIO R.

theTV for viewing.
– Place the AM loop antenna on a shelf or
attach it to a stand or wall.
– Extend the FM antenna and fix its ends to the
wall.
– Adjust the position of the antennas for
optimal reception.
– Position the antennas as far as possible from a
TV, VCR or other radiation source to prevent
unwanted noise.
Notes:
– On theTV, the Video Input jack is usually yellow
and might be labeled A/V In, CVBS, Composite or
Baseband.
– To avoid magnetic interference, do not position
the front speakers too close to yourTV.
– For better FM stereo reception, connect
external FM antenna.
Step 4: Connecting the AC
power cord
Step 2: Connecting the
speakers
"AUTO INSTALL- PRESS PLAY" may appear
on the display panel when the AC power cord is

"L", colored (marked) wire to "+" and black
(unmarked) wire to "-". Fully insert the
stripped portion of the speaker wire into the
terminal as shown.
Notes:
