User manual ALTEC LANSING PT8051

[. . . ] This product has been tested and complies with the specifications for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used according to the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. [. . . ] Warning: Do not insert the PT8051's power plug into a wall outlet until you connect other sources such as your TV, DVD player, satellite tuner or alternate audio source. Also, turn off audio sources before connecting them to the PT8051. The PT8051 is designed to connect external components such as your DVD player, satellite TV tuner, cable TV tuner, VCR, game console and TV. In cases where there are both digital and analog outputs such as a DVD player we recommend using the digital output to ensure best sound quality and optimal surround sound reproduction. Be sure to leave adequate ventilation space ­ at least 2 inches (50mm) above both the main and rear surround units. We do not recommend installing this unit so that it is directly on the floor. Be sure to secure it where it will not fall and where it is out of the reach of children. Do not install the main or rear surround units directly above a cathode-ray tube (CRT) TV as stray magnetic fields may distort the TV. The PT8051 can accept digital input signals using standard, commercially available optical or coaxial cables. If you have connected your DVD player using an optical or coaxial digital cable you can use this input for another device. Use an optical cable to connect the OPTICAL IN (AUX) jack on the PT8051 to the optical output jack on a digital audio source such as a game console or digital video recorder. Note: When connecting a DVD player we recommend using the coaxial input found on the rear of the PT8051. However, if your DVD player only has an optical output it can be connected to the AUX input. Using the supplied A/V cable, connect one yellow end to connect the VIDEO OUT on the PT8051 and the other yellow end to the video input jack on the TV. This connection allows you to view the onscreen display (OSD) on your TV screen when the corresponding input is selected. Ensure that the cables are connected correctly observing left (white) and right (red) connections at both the PT8051 and the source device. If your satellite TV or cable TV tuner has a digital output this input can be used for another device. Individual levels can be set for front, center and rear or surround channels by using the corresponding +/­ level buttons on the remote. These levels should be adjusted so that all channels are at a similar volume when the listener is seated using the Test Tone function as described in the Setup Menu section that follows. Change all of the batteries if you notice that the operation range of the remote decreases or the indicator does not blink or its light becomes dim. Do not use old batteries together with new ones. Do not use different types of batteries such as alkaline and manganese batteries together. [. . . ] Power switch on the back panel is not turned on for one or both units. A safety mechanism powered down the PT8051. Then, turn on the PT8051 by pushing the on/off switch in the rear of the unit for both the main and rear surround units. Unplug the PT8051 from the AC outlet briefly and then plug it in again so it will reset itself. [. . . ]
