NOTES:
•Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals, connecting cords and power cord. Also, keep the antennas away from metallic parts of the System, connecting cords, and the AC power cord. This could cause poor reception.
•Make sure both the speakers are connected correctly and firmly.•When connecting the speaker cords, match the polarity of the speaker terminals: red color to (+) and black color to
•DO NOT allow the conductor of the speaker cords to be in touch with the metallic parts of the System.

a 75 Ω wire with coaxial type connector. |
•When you are away on travel or otherwise for an extended period of time, remove the plug from the wall outlet.
•When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the power cord.
•Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.•Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the System or moving the System.•Do not alter, twist or pull the power cord, or put anything heavy on it, which may cause fire, electric shock, or other accidents.
•If the cord is damaged, consult a dealer and have the power cord replaced with a new one.
Avoid moisture, water, dust, and high temperatures
•Do not place the System in moist or dusty places.•If water gets inside the System, turn off the power and remove the plug from the wall outlet, then consult your dealer. Using the System in this state may cause a fire or electrical shock.
•Do not expose the System to direct sunlight or place it near a heating device.•Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too
•Do not insert any metallic objects, such as wires, hairpins, coins, etc. into the System.
