DVD players and discs are designed
with regional restrictions which
dictate the regions in which a disc
can be played. If the region number
on the disc you want to play does not
match the region number of your DVD
player, you will not be able to play the
disc. The  message “WRONG
REGION” will appear in the on-screen
display.

The region code of this player is
indicated on the rear and on the
external packaging.

• Do not mix different types of

batteries (e.g. Alkaline and Carbon-
zinc) or old batteries with new ones.

• If you will not use the remote for an

extended period of time, remove the
batteries to avoid possible damage
from battery leakage and corrosion.

The front speakers should be placed
the same distance from each other as
they are from the listening position.
They should be placed at about the
same height from the floor as the
listeners’ ears will be, or they may be
angled toward the listeners.

The center channel speaker should
be placed slightly behind the front left
and right speakers, and no more than
60 cm above or below the tweeters of
the left and right speakers. It is often
convenient to set the center speaker
on top of the television set, as shown
in the drawing. Use the supplied
support leg to aim it toward the
listener by screwing the leg in to
angle the speaker up, or unscrewing
the leg slightly to angle the speaker
down.

The rear delay settings in this system
have been set so that the optimum
position from the listener is 1m. The
two surround speakers should be
placed slightly behind the listening
position and, ideally, should face
each other and be at a level higher
than the listeners’ ears. If that is not
possible, they may be placed on a
wall behind the listening position,
facing forward. The surround
speakers should not call attention to
themselves. Experiment with their
placement until you hear a diffuse,
ambient sound accompanying the
main program material heard in the
front speakers.

The low-frequency material
reproduced by the subwoofer is
mostly omnidirectional, and this
speaker may be placed in a
convenient location in the room.
However, the best reproduction of
bass will be heard when the
subwoofer is placed in a corner along
the same wall as the front speakers.
Experiment with subwoofer
placement by temporarily placing the
subwoofer in the listening position
and moving around the room until the
bass reproduction is best. Place the
subwoofer in that location.

Note: To ensure adequate ventilation,
allow a minimum distance of 10cm
between the subwoofer and
surrounding walls.

The customer is responsible for
proper selection and use of mounting 

hardware, available through
hardware stores, to properly and
safely wall-mount the speakers.

On shelves.

On the wall. 

On optional stands (FS300S).

Attach plate to wall. The brackets
should be placed, if possible, so that
the screws will fasten into a wooden
wall stud. If that is not possible, use
properly selected wall anchors.

Slide speaker onto support.

Place speaker and support on wall
plate.
