Unpacking the ReceiverYou should receive the following items:• One receiver unit• One pair of “AAA” batteries• One pig-tail antenna wire• One external AM loop antenna• One digital in cable (coaxial in)• One 3.5mm stereo cable for line-in• One instruction book• One safety leaflet• Quick Connection Guide• One Remote Control

Unpacking The Speakers One set of speakers including:• One set of left and right front speakers, • One centre speaker, • One subwoofer and • One set of left and right rear speakers

Inserting Batteries into RemoteControl Insert two “AAA” (R03) batteries according tothe + and - signs in the battery compartment.To use the remote control, point it directly atyour receiver.

Install batteries as follows:1. Remove battery compartment door by

applying thumb pressure on battery door and then lift the door out and off the cabinet.

2. Insert 2 AAA batteries in the compartment and replace the compartment door.

Set up and Maintenance of theReceiverProvide spaces for sufficient ventilation asindicated:

• Do not connect to the AC power cords until all connections are completed.

• Do not use your set immediately after transferring it from a cold place to a warm place: there is risk of condensation.

• Do not expose your set to water and excessively high temperatures.

• After having disconnected your set, clean the case with a soft cloth, or with a slightly damp leather chamois. Never use strong solvents.

Protect your Components fromOverheating • Do not block ventilation holes in any

component. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.

• Do not stack components directly on top of each other.

• Do not place the unit near other components that generate heat such as heating vents.

• Allow adequate ventilation when placing your components in a stand.

• Place an amplifier near the top shelf of the stand so heated air rising from it will not affect other components. If you have a satellite receiver, you should place it on the top shelf.
