●To reduce the risk or fire or electric shock, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture.
●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 equipments. Never pull the wires themselves.
●When not planning to use this unit for a long period (ie., vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet.
●To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power plug when there is an electrical storm.
●Since this unit has a built-in power amplifier, heat will radiate from the rear panel. Place the unit apart from the walls, allowing enough space above, behind and on both sides of the unit to prevent fire or damage. Furthermore, do not position with the
rear panel facing down on the floor or other surfaces.
<For U.K., Europe and China models only>
Be sure to allow space of at least 20 cm above, behind and on both sides of the unit.
●Do not cover the rear panel of this unit with a newspaper, a tablecloth, a curtain, etc. in order not to obstruct heat radiation. If the temperature inside the unit rises, it may cause fire, damage to the unit and/or personal injury.
●Do not place small metallic objects on this unit. Otherwise, the object may fall, possibly causing an injury.
●Do not place the following objects on this unit: Glass, china, etc.
If glass etc. falls by vibrations and breaks, it may cause personal injury.
A burning candle etc.
If the candle falls by vibrations, it may cause fire and personal injury.
A vessel with water in it
If the vessel falls by vibrations and water spills, it may cause damage to the unit, and/or you may get an electric shock.
●Do not place this unit where foreign objects such as water drips might fall. It might cause a fire, damage to this unit, and/or personal injury.
●Never put a hand or a foreign object into the YST port. When moving this unit, do not hold the port as it might cause personal injury and/or damage to this unit.
●Never open the cabinet. It might cause an electric shock since this unit uses a high voltage. It might also cause personal injury and/or damage to this unit.
●When using a humidifier, be sure to avoid condensation inside this unit by allowing enough spaces around this unit or avoiding excess humidification. Condensation might cause a fire, damage to this unit, and/or electric shock.
●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.
●This unit may be damaged by using at high volume level when 20 Hz–50 Hz sine waves from a test disc, bass sounds from electronic instruments, etc. are continuously inputted to this unit, or when the stylus of a turntable touches the surface of a disc. Reduce the volume level to prevent this unit from being damaged.
●If you hear distorted noise (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.
●Vibration generated by super-bass frequencies may distort images on a TV. In such a case, move this unit away from the TV set
●Do not attempt to clean this unit with chemical solvents as this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
●Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section regarding common operating errors before concluding that the unit is faulty.
