Warning

•Connect this unit's power cord only to an AC outlet of the type stated in this Owner's Manual or as marked on the unit. Failure to do so is a ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

•Do not allow water to enter this unit or allow the unit to become wet. Fire or electrical shock may result.

•Do not place heavy objects, including this unit, on top of the power cord. A damaged power cord is a ﬁre and electrical shock hazard. In particular, be careful not to place heavy objects on a power cord covered by a carpet.

•Do not insert or drop metal or ﬂammable objects into the port of this unit. Fire or electrical shock may result.

•Do not place a container with liquid or small metal objects on top of this unit. Liquid or metal objects inside this unit are a ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

•Do not scratch, bend, twist, pull, or heat the power cord. A damaged power cord is a ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

•Do not modify the unit. Doing so is a ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

•If lightning begins to occur, turn off the power switch of the unit as soon as possible, and unplug the power cable plug from the electrical outlet.

•If there is a possibility of lightning, do not touch the power cable plug if it is still connected. Doing so may be an electrical shock hazard.

•Do not remove the unit’s cover. You could receive an electrical shock. If you think internal inspection, main- tenance, or repair is necessary, contact your dealer.

•If the power cord is damaged (i.e., cut or a bare wire is exposed), ask your dealer for a replacement. Using the unit with a damaged power cord is a ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

•If you notice any abnormality, such as smoke, odor, or noise, or if a foreign object or liquid gets inside the unit, turn it off immediately. Remove the power cord from the AC outlet. Consult your dealer for repair. Using the unit in this condition is a ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

•Should this unit be dropped or the cabinet be damaged, turn the power switch off, remove the power plug from the AC outlet, and contact your dealer. If you continue using the unit without heeding this instruction, ﬁre or electrical shock may result.

Cautions

•Keep this unit away from the following locations:

–Locations exposed to oil splashes or steam, such as near cooking stoves, humidiﬁers, etc.

–Unstable surfaces, such as a wobbly table or slope.

–Locations exposed to excessive heat, such as inside a car with all the windows closed, or places that receive direct sunlight.

–Locations subject to excessive humidity or dust accu- mulation.

•Do not place the power cord close to a heater. It may melt, causing ﬁre or electrical shock.

•Hold the power cord plug when disconnecting it from an AC outlet. Never pull the cord. A damaged power cord is a potential ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

•Do not touch the power plug with wet hands. Doing so is a potential electrical shock hazard.

•When rack-mounting the unit, allow enough free space around the unit for normal ventilation. This should be: 10 cm at the sides, 20 cm behind, and 30 cm above.

For normal ventilation during use, remove the rear of the rack or open a ventilation hole.

If the airﬂow is not adequate, the unit will heat up inside and may cause a ﬁre.

•A speaker system placed on top of a table may move gradually due to vibration and may eventually fall off the table, causing damage or injury. In such an installa- tion, ﬁx the speaker system to the table and check it occasionally.
