Getting Started
Precautions
On safety
•Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the speaker system and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
On power sources
•Before operating the speakers, check that the operating voltage is identical with your local power supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate on the rear of the speakers.
•The speakers are not disconnected from the AC power source as long as they are connected to the wall outlet, even if the speakers themselves have been turned off.
•If you are not going to use the speakers for a long time, be sure to disconnect the speakers from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.
•One blade of the plug is wider than the other for the purpose of safety and will fit into the wall outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer.
•Should the AC power cord need to be changed, have it done at a qualified service shop only.
On placement
•Do not place the speakers near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock.
•Good ventilation is essential to prevent internal heat buildup. Place the speakers in a location with adequate air circulation, and in a way that does not block the rear ventilation holes.
On cleaning
•Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
