[For U.K. model]

Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of this unit should be performed only by qualified

service personnel.

IMPORTANT: THE MOULDED PLUG

This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for your safety and convenience. A 10 amp fuse is fitted in this plug. Should

the fuse need to be replaced, please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 10 amps and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to

BS1362.

Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse.

If the plug contains a removable fuse cover, you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced. If you lose the fuse cover the plug

must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. A replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your local dealer.

If the fitted moulded plug is unsuitable for your socket outlet, then the fuse shall be removed and the plug cut off and disposed of

safely. There is a danger of severe electrical shock if the cut off plug is inserted into any 13 amp socket.

If a new plug is to be fitted, please observe the wiring code as shown below. If in any doubt, please consult a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT: The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue : Neutral Brown : Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in

your plug, proceed as follows ;

The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the

letter N or coloured BLACK.

The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the

letter L or coloured RED.

How to replace the fuse: Open the fuse compartment with a screwdriver and replace the fuse.

Operating instructions

Dolby Digital is the name of the Dolby Surround multi-

channel digital system that was developed from Dolby

Surround, as a continuation of Dolby Pro Logic Surround.

Dolby Digital is also referred to as a 5.1 channel system.

This is because it has 5 channels in the 20 Hz to 20 kHz

frequency range (front left and right, center, and rear left

and right) and an independent channel for the

subwoofer. The subwoofer channel is also referred to as

LFE (Low Frequency Effect).

The LFE channel is used according to individual tastes to

enhance the bass effect.

However, depending on the installation location,

color distortion may occur if the speaker system is

installed extremely close to the screen of a television

set.

If this happens, turn off the power switch of the

television set, and turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes.

If the problem persists, place the speaker system

away from the television set.

• Do not place the speaker on an unstable surface, as

doing so may cause the speaker to fall and cause

damage or bodily injury.

• Do not place cups, glasses, or other containers with

fluids on top of the units, since the units may be
