＊This product is a speaker which has been designed using Time Domain theory.

《《

What is Time Domain theory?

》》

Time domain recreates the changes that occur in sound waves over time from the moment
of output until their disappearance. Its purpose is to reproduce those sound waves that are
as close to the original recorded sound as possible. Time domain audio systems allow
sound orientation and the nuances that are added by recorded performers to be faithfully
reproduced.

WARNING
CAUTION

WARNING

●Do not place the unit in an elevated location. A fall may cause injury.

●Do not open the cabinet of the unit. This may cause electric shock or injury. For internal

inspection, repair or maintenance, please contact a Customer Service Center. Also, do not
attempt to modify the unit. This may cause fire or electric shock.

●Do not place the unit in the bathroom or anywhere exposed to rain. Do not use the unit in places
with high humidity. This may cause fire or electric shock. Be particularly careful when using the
unit in rainy weather or when it is snowing, at the beach or near water. Do not place above or
near the unit, any flower vases, plant pots, cups, makeup, medicine or any vessel containing liquid
or any small metal objects. In case any liquid or small metal objects enter the unit, fire or electric
shock may result. Do not push or drop any metal or combustible objects into the ventilation holes
of this unit. Fire or electric shock may result. (Be particularly cautious in households with young
children).

●Do not use the stand to support any other item. The mounting may become unstable, resulting in
a fall, causing injury.

●This unit should be assembled on a flat, even surface. Failure to do so may cause the stand to fall
over leading to injury.

●Avoid placing the stand where it may obstruct free passage. Injury may result otherwise.

●The unit should be placed on a hard, flat surface. Placing the unit on an unstable surface may

cause it to fall over and cause injury.

●Do not climb on or swing from the unit. In particular, care should be exercised when children are
present. The unit may fall or break and cause injury.

Notes on Use

■Before turning the unit on or changing the input source, be sure to set the volume to Low. Sudden
bursts of loud noise may cause damage to any connected speaker systems.

■To avoid disturbance in your neighborhood, enjoy your unit at an appropriate volume. Remember that
particularly at night, even low volumes carry well into surrounding areas. Help to maintain a pleasant
living environment.

■Always connect speaker systems with the power disconnected. If the speaker cable is inadvertently
shorted, the protection circuit in the amplifier will operate and audio output will stop temporarily. In this
event, disconnect the power cord from the outlet, correct the shorted area and reconnect the power
cord to the outlet.

■Do not separate the speaker from the stand.

■Do not place the speaker unit directly on hard surfaces. It may mark the surface.

■Be careful not to knock the unit over.

■If the unit becomes dirty, use detergent on a soft cloth to wipe it down. Do not use thinners or gasoline.
