Care and Maintenance

Cleaning

When the unit becomes dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft, dry cloth. If necessary, first wipe the surface with a soft cloth slightly dampened with mild soapy water, then with a fresh cloth dampened with clean water. Wipe dry immediately with a dry cloth. NEVER use benzene, thinner, alcohol or any other volatile cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish of the metal parts. Avoid spraying insecticide, waxes, polishing agents, or any aerosol product near the unit.

When You Are Away

Designed for both professional and home environments, the Dolby 950 7.1 system offers a comprehensive suite of features that elevate audio quality to new heights.

At its core, the Dolby 950 7.1 system incorporates a seven-channel setup, which includes left, center, right, left surround, right surround, left back, and right back channels, coupled with a powerful subwoofer for enhanced low-frequency response.
