Advarsel:Usynlig laserstråling ved åbning  
når sikkerhedsafbrydere er ude af funktion.  
Undgå utsættelse for stråling.  
Bemærk: Netafbryderen er sekundært  
indkoblet og ofbryder ikke strømmen fra  
nettet. Den indbyggede netdel er derfor  
tilsluttet til lysnettet så længe netstikket  
sidder i stikkontakten.

Varning! Om apparaten används på annat  
sätt än i denna bruksanvisning specificerats,  
kan användaren utsättas för osynlig  
laserstrålning, som överskrider gränsen för  
laserklass 1.  
Observera! Stömbrytaren är sekundärt  
kopplad och bryter inte strömmen från  
nätet. Den inbyggda nätdelen är därför  
ansluten till elnätet så länge stickproppen  
sitter i vägguttaget.

General Information  
Supplied accessories  
Setup  
Finding a suitable location  
– Place the set on a flat, hard and stable  
surface. Do not place the set on a carpet.  
– Do not position the set on top of  
other equipment that might heat it up  
(e.g., receiver or amplifier).  
Scart cable (black)  
FM wire antenna  
– Do not put anything under the set  
(e.g., CDs, magazines).  
– Install this system near the AC outlet  
and where the AC power plug can be  
reached easily.  
MW loop antenna  
Space for ventilation  
– Place the apparatus in a location with  
adequate ventilation to prevent internal  
heat build up. Allow at least 10 cm (4.5”)  
clearance from the rear and the top of  
the set and 5cm (2.3”) from the left and  
right to prevent overheating.

Cleaning discs  
To clean a disc, use a micro fibre cleaning  
cloth and wipe the disc from the center  
to the edge in a straight line.  
Avoid high temperatures, moisture,  
water and dust  
– Apparatus shall not be exposed to  
dripping or splashing.  
– Do not place any sources of danger on  
the apparatus (e.g., liquid filled objects,  
lighted candles).  
CAUTION!  
Do not use solvents such as benzene,  
thinner, commercially available cleaners,  
or anti-static sprays intended for discs.  
Since the optical unit (laser) of the DVD  
system operates at a higher power than  
regular DVD or CD players, cleaning CDs  
intended for DVD or CD players may  
damage the optical unit (laser).Therefore,  
refrain from using a cleaning CD.

For best possible surround sound, all the  
speakers (except subwoofer) should be  
placed at the same distance from the  
listening position.  
Helpful Hints:  
To avoid magnetic interference, do not  
position the front speakers too close to your  
TV.  
– Allow adequate ventilation around the  
DVD system.  
1 Place the front left and right speakers at  
equal distances from theTV and at an  
angle of approximately 45 degrees from  
the listening position.  
2 Place the centre speaker above theTV or  
the DVD system so that the centre  
channel’s sound is localised.  
3 Place the rear speakers at normal  
listening ear level facing each other or  
hang on the wall.  
4 Place the subwoofer on the floor near  
theTV.

correctly connected. Improper connections  
may damage the system due to a short-  
circuit.  
To prevent unwanted noise, do not place  
the subwoofer too close to the DVD system,  
AC power adaptor,TV or other radiation  
sources.  
1 Use the supplied scart video cable (black)  
to connect the DVD system’s SCART  
socket to the corresponding Scart input  
socket on theTV.

using the fixed speaker cables by  
matching the colours of the sockets and  
speaker cables.

Dolby Surround Pro Logic II: It is an  
improved matrix decoding technology that  
provides better spatiality and directionality  
on Dolby Surround programme material;  
provides a convincing three-dimensional  
soundfield on convertional stereo music  
recordings; and is ideally suited to bring the  
surround experience to automotive sound.  
While conventional surround programming is  
fully campatible with Dolby Surround Pro  
Logic II decoders, soundtracks will be able to  
be encoded specifically to take full advantage  
of Pro Logic II playback, including separate  
left and right surround channels. (Such  
material also compatible with conventional  
Pro Logic decoders).  
AUDIO OUT Jacks: Red and white jacks  
on the back of the DVD System that send  
audio to another system (TV, Stereo, etc.).  
Aspect ratio: The ratio of vertical and  
horizontal sizes of a displayed image.The  
horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional  
TVs. is 4:3, and that of wide-screens is 16:9.  
Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold  
a given length of music; measured in kilobits  
per second, or kbps. Or, the speed at which  
you record. Generally, the higher the bit rate,  
or the higher the recording speed, the better  
the sound quality. However, higher bit rates  
use more space on a Disc.  
DTS: DigitalTheatre Systems. This is a  
surround sound system, but it is different
