7Important cautions

Installation of the system

•Select 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.

•Do not use the system in a place subject to vibration.

Care of the cabinet

When cleaning the system, use a soft cloth and follow the relevant instructions on the use of chemically-coated cloths. Do not use benzene, thinner or other organic solvents including disinfectants. These may cause deformation or discoloring.

If water gets inside the system

Turn the system off and disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet, then call the store where you made your purchase. Using the system in this condition may cause fire or electrical shock.

Power cord

•Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

•A small amount of power is always consumed while the power cord is connected to the wall outlet.

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

To prevent malfunctions of the system

•There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If anything goes wrong, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer.

•Do not insert any metallic object into the system.

•Do not use any non-standard shape disc (like a heart, flower or credit card, etc.) available on the market, because it may damage the system.

•Do not use a disc with tape, stickers, or paste on it, because it may damage the system.
