Precautions

On safety

Before operating the system, be sure that the operating voltage of the system is identical with that of your local power supply.

The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.

Unplug the system from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for an extended period of time. To disconnect the cord, pull the cord by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

Should any liquid or solid object fall into the system, unplug the system’s power cord and have the system checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.

On operation

Do not drive the speaker system with a continuous wattage exceeding the maximum input power of the system.

If the polarity of the speaker connections are not correct, the bass tones will be weak and the position of the various instruments obscure.

Contact between bare speaker wires at the speaker terminals may result in a short-circuit.

Before connecting, turn off the amplifier to avoid damaging the speaker system.

If you encounter color irregularity on a nearby TV screen

This speaker system is magnetically shielded to allow it to be installed near a TV set. However, color irregularities may still be observed on certain types of TV sets.

If color irregularity is observed...

cTurn off the TV set once, then turn it on again after 15 to 30 minutes.

If color irregularity is observed again...

cPlace the speakers further away from the TV set.

cKeep magnets and other sources of magnetic fields away from the speaker system since they may cause color irregularities on your TV screen.

If howling occurs

Reposition the speakers or turn down the volume on the amplifier.

On placement

Do not set the speakers in an inclined position.

Do not place the speakers in locations that are:

Extremely hot or cold

Dusty or dirty

Very humid

Subject to vibrations
