CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage
to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
•Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a
multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or
possibly cause overheating in the outlet.
•When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet,
always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can
damage it.
•Remove the electr ic plug from the outlet when the instrument is not
to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
•Do not place the ins trument in an unstable position where it might
accidentally fall over.
•Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.
•When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are
using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs,
immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from
the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off, electricity is
still flowing to the product at the minimum level. When you are not
using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power
cord from the wall AC outlet.
•Use only the stan d/rack specified for the instrument. When attaching
the stand or rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so
could cause damage to the internal components or result in the
instrument falling over.
•Make sure to place the subwoofer unit away from walls or other
objects leaving space of at least 20cm (about 8 inches) above and
10cm (4 inches) on all sides. (The unit has a built in amplifier and
generates heat.) Also make sure not to lay the unit on any surface
with the rear panel facing down.
