Connecting to Speakers

Remember to match the colors of the speaker wires to jacks on the back panel. Connect the speaker wire its corresponding terminal jacks.
Examples of poor conditions of the speaker cord Stripped speaker cord is touching another speaker terminal. Stripped cords are touching each other due to excessive removal of insulation.
To avoid short-circuiting the speakers
Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the system. To prevent this, make sure to take the following precautions when connecting the speakers. Make sure the stripped end of each speaker cord does not touch another speaker terminal or the stripped end of another speaker cord.
Be sure to match the speaker cord correctly. For optimal sound performance, use the supplied speakers. Do not connect speakers with an impedance lower than the speakers supplied.

Output signal selection

S-video
S-video provides a better connection for the video signal than composite video (yellow color terminal).

Component video output

Component video terminal provides the best connection for video. By separating the color information (Pb/Pr) and the luminance signal (Y), the image is improved compared to using S-video or composite video connection (result may vary on different TV / monitor). If your TV is equipped with these terminals (e.g. Y/Pb/Pr, Y/Cb/Cr, Y/B-Y/R-Y), use an appropriate video cable (75 Ohm) and connect to the system. Make sure to match the terminal color.

Setup Video output

You can select either S-video, component and component (with progressive scan function) as your video output. When S-video output is selected, only S-video and composite output will function properly. When 480I output is selected, the component output will only deliver 480i signal. When 480P P.Scan output is selected, the component output will only deliver 480p signal.

Progressive Scan

Progressive scan function can only be activated when 480P P.SCAN output is selected.
Warning: Make sure your TV is compatible with progressive scan function before switching the output selector to 480p P.scan position (see TV instruction manual for details), otherwise no image will be displayed on the TV.

Safety precautions

Never open the cabinet under any circumstances. Any repairs or internal adjustments should be made only by a trained technician. Never operate this product with the cabinet removed. Do not touch the player with wet hands. If any liquid enters the player cabinet, take the player to a trained technician for inspection. This player uses a laser to read the data on the disc. The laser mechanism corresponds to the cartridge and stylus of a record player. Although this product incorporates a laser pick-up lens, it is completely safe when operated according to directions. Discs rotate at high speed inside the player. Do not use damaged, warped, or cracked discs. Do not touch the pick-up lens which is located inside the disc compartment. Also, to keep dust from collecting on the pick-up lens do not leave the compartment door open for an extended period of time. If the lens becomes dirty, clean it with a soft brush, or use an air blower brush designed for camera lenses. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

Cleaning

Clean the exterior of the system using a soft dust cloth.

Cleaning discs

Dirty discs can cause poor sound and visual quality. Always keep discs clean by wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer perimeter. Never wipe the disc in a circular motion since circular scratches are likely to occur and could cause noise during playback. If a disc becomes dirty, wet a soft cloth in water, wring it out well, wipe the dirt away gently, and then remove any water drops with a dry cloth. Do not use record cleaning sprays or antistatic agents on discs. Also, never clean discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents which may cause damage to disc surface.

Disc lens care

When your disc lens gets dirty it can also cause the system to output poor sound and visual quality. To clean the lens you will need to purchase a disc lens cleaner which can maintain the output sound and visual quality of your system. For instructions on cleaning the disc lens, refer to the ones accompanying the lens cleaner.
