Notes:  
– If the audio format of the digital output does not match  
the capabilities of your receiver, the receiver will pro-  
duce a strong, distorted sound or no sound at all.  
– MP3 Audio is not available on the Digital Output.  
– You will still need the video cable or RF coaxial cable for

tion of the speaker wire into the jack.Then,  
release the tab. Make sure you do not insert  
the wire too far. None of the rubber-coated

Setting Up your System  
Setting up Surround Sound  
Using the Remote Control  
Connect all the speakers and set up the System properly in  
order to enjoy the Home Cinema experience.  
Place the FRONT Left and Right speakers at equal distances  
from the TV and at a 45-degree angle from the listening posi-  
tion.  
• Direct the remote control at the remote sensor of the  
System.  
• Do not drop the remote control.  
• Do not leave the remote control near extremely hot or  
1
humid place.

Place the CENTER speaker above or below the TV to localize  
the sound.  
Place the REAR (Surround) speakers at normal listening ear  
level, facing each other or mounted on the wall. Use the sup-  
plied mounting brackets to mount speakers to the wall.  
Place the Subwoofer on the floor, near the TV.  
• Do not spill water or put anything wet on the remote con-  
trol.

Notes:  
– Use only tapes with VHS mark.  
– Remove any adhesive stick-on notes from the tape  
before inserting into the System.  
– Periodic maintenance is required to maintain your  
System performance.  
Notes:  
– Connect the speaker wires correctly. Improper connec-  
tions may short circuit the System.  
– For optimal sound, use the supplied speakers.  
– Do not connect more than one speaker to any pair of  
speaker jacks on the System.  
– Video heads will require replacement after a period of  
time. Only an authorised service center should perform  
this service.  
– Do not connect speakers with an impedance lower than  
6 ohms.  
– Sit in your usual listening position to set up the speaker  
balance.  
– To avoid magnetic interference, do not place the FRONT  
speakers too close to yourTV.  
– Placing the REAR (Surround) speakers farther from the  
listening position than the FRONT and CENTER speak-  
ers will weaken the Surround Sound effect.  
– Secure all speakers to prevent accidents and improve  
sound quality. Use the supplied mounting brackets to  
mount speakers to a wall.

VCR Playback  
Playing cassettes  
The counter does not move  
This occurs when there are no recordings on a portion of a tape.  
This is not a fault in your System.  
•When you select AUTO by pressing the MODE/SYSTEM but-  
ton, this System will distinguish the colour system (SECAM,  
PAL or ME-SECAM) automatically according to the format of  
recorded tape during playback.  
If the picture on the TV screen is black and white, select  
SECAM, ME-SECAM or PAL by using the MODE/SYSTEM  
button.  
The screen shows '-0:01:20'  
If you rewind a cassette from the tape position '0:00:00', the  
counter will show for instance, '-0:01:20' (the cassette was  
rewound to 1 minute and 20 seconds before '0:00:00').  
'-:--' is displayed in the 'REM' counter  
This counter will automatically recognise the length of the tape. In  
addition, when you put in a cassette the System must first calcu-  
late the time played.Therefore, '-:--' appears first and only after  
the tape has been running for a few seconds, the correct playing  
time will be shown.  
•Tapes recorded with the NTSC system can playback with this  
System via a PAL system TV set.  
Note:  
– Depending on theTV, when playing back a NTSC tape  
on a PALTV, the picture may roll up or down, shrink ver-  
tically and black bars may appear both at the top and  
bottom of the screen.  
You can use this System to play back recordedVHS videocas-  
settes.You can operate the System using the remote control or  
the buttons on the front of the System.  
If you press PLAY, STOP, FF or REW while the set is in Stand-  
by, the power will be automatically turned on.Additionally, if a  
cassette was already inserted, the corresponding operation will  
be performed.

General information  
Automatic controlled recording from a  
satellite receiver (RECORD LINK)  
This function automatically starts recording on the switched-off  
System when a video signal is recognised through the connect-  
ed scart cable. If your satellite receiver has a programming  
function, the recording will start automatically (as long as the  
satellite receiver is switched on).  
Use a scart cable to connect scart socket AV2(DECODER) on  
the System to the corresponding scart socket on the satellite  
receiver.  
Switch on the TV. If required, select the programme number for  
the System.  
Use 'Manual Recording' to make a spontaneous recording  
(for example, a programme currently being shown).  
If you want to start and stop a recording manually, read the  
section 'Recording without automatic switch-off'.  
Read the section 'Direct Record' if you want to record a  
programme currently being shown.
