high temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These

 

conditions can damage the cabinet and other components, thereby

 

shortening the unit’s service life.

 

 

Place it at least 15 cm away from wall surfaces to avoid distortion

 

and unwanted acoustical effects.

 

Do not place heavy items on the unit.

Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when

 

setting the unit up on a ship or other place where DC is used.

 

 

 

AC mains lead protection

 

 

Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not dam-

 

aged. Poor connection and lead damage can cause fire or electric

 

shock. Do not pull, bend, or place heavy items on the lead.

 

Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the AC

 

mains lead can cause electric shock.

 

Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric

 

shock.

 

 

 

Foreign matter

 

 

Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can cause electric

 

shock or malfunction.

 

Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric shock or

 

malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the unit from the

 

power supply and contact your dealer.

 

Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain flam-

 

mable gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.

 

 

 

Service

 

 

Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is interrupted,

 

indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any other problem that is not

 

covered in these instructions occurs, disconnect the AC mains lead

 

and contact your dealer or an authorized service center. Electric

 

shock or damage to the unit can occur if the unit is repaired, disas-

 

sembled or reconstructed by unqualified persons.

 

Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the power

 

source if it is not to be used for a long time.
