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.

When to replace batteries

Under normal use, the batteries should last for about 6 months. When the remote no longer operates the speakers, replace both batteries with new ones.

Notes

Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or humid place.

Do not use a new battery with an old one.

Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight or lighting apparatuses. Doing so may cause a malfunction.

If you don’t use the remote for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery leakage and corrosion.
