SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1 To assure the finest performance, please read this manual
carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.
2 Install this unit in a cool, dry, clean place – away from
windows, heat sources, sources of excessive vibration,
dust, moisture and cold. Avoid sources of humming
(transformers, motors). To prevent fire or electrical shock,
do not expose the unit to rain or water.
3 Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the set,
contact your dealer.
4 Do not use force on switches, controls or connection
wires. When moving the unit, first disconnect the power
plug and the wires connected to other equipment. Never
pull the wire itself.
5 Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents;
this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
6 Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section
regarding common operating errors before concluding that
the unit is faulty.
7 When not planning to use this unit for long periods of time
(ie., vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from the
wall outlet.
8 To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power
plug when there is an electrical storm.
9 Since this unit has a built-in power amplifier, heat will
radiate from the rear panel. Therefore, place the unit at
least 10 cm (4 inches) away from the wall. Also, do not
position with the rear panel facing down on the floor or
other surface.
10 Super-bass frequencies reproduced by this unit may
cause a turntable to generate a howling sound. In such a
case, move this unit away from the turntable.
11 This unit features a magnetically shielded design, but
there is still a chance that placing it too close to a TV set
might impair picture color. Should this happen, move this
unit away from the TV set.
12 If you hear distortion (i.e., unnatural, intermittent “rapping”
or “hammering” sounds) coming from this unit, reduce the
volume level. Extremely loud playing of a movie
soundtrack’s low frequency, bass-heavy sounds or
similarly loud popular music passages can damage this
speaker system.
