Introduction

Precautions

Installation

Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat buildup in the System.

DO NOT install the System in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.

Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold—between 5°C and 35°C.

Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV.

Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference with the TV.

Power sources

When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always pull on the plug, not the AC power cord.

DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet hands.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lenses inside the System in the following cases:

After starting to heat the room

In a damp room

If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm place.

Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case, leave the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again.

Internal heat

Make sure there is good ventilation around the unit. Poor ventilation could overheat and damage the unit.

A cooling fan is inside the System (except for CA-MXDK1 and CA-MXDK15) to prevent heat buildup.

DO NOT block the ventilation openings or holes. If they are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.

Others

Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the System, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer before operating any further.

DO NOT disassemble the System since there are no user serviceable parts inside.

• If you are not going to operate the System for an extended period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.

If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer.
