7. Where not to use unit
Do not use the unit in bathrooms, areas 
exposed to rain or snow, on the shore, near 
water or in humid conditions. Do not place 
the unit in unstable locations, in 
kitchens,near humidifiers, or in any location 
with likely exposure to smoke or steam. Do 
not place the unit in direct sunlight, near 
heating equipment or close to open flames. 
Fire, accident or malfunction may result. Do 
not place the unit in locations exposed to 
cold air or direct draft. Condensation, 
leakage current or thermal damage may 
result. Do not use the unit in dusty or dirty 
locations. Decreased heat ventilation can 
cause thermal damage
8. Unit heat
The bottom and sides of the unit can heat up 
during use and should not be touched. 
Burns may result. Only connect or 
disconnect speaker cables after the power 
supply has cooled down.
9. Moving the unit
When moving the unit, shut off power to all 
connected equipment, and disconnect power 
cords, connectoins cables, speaker cables 
and other wires. Moving the unit while cable 
are connected can cause damage to cables, 
fire or electric shock. The unit is heavy and 
care should be taken when unpacking, 
moving or lifting. 
Manufacturing also creates sharp areas on 
the unit; use thorough care in handling.
10. Power cord
Only use the power cord supplied and do not 
bend, twist, modify it for repair, or pin it 
under the unit. Heavy objects, heat or 
tension may also damage the power cord 
and cause fire or electric shock. When 
disconnecting the power cord from an outlet, 
do not pull the cord. Pulling on the cord can 
damage it and cause fire or electric shock. 
Do not touch the power cord with wet hands. 
Do not place the power cord near heating 
equipment and do not use the unit. If the 
plug fits loosely in an electric outlet or the 
plug or cord is hot. If the cord is damaged 
replace it as continued use may result in fire 
or electric shock.
11. Unit plug
Insert the plug into an outlet all the may to its
base. Incomplete insertion can cause heat 
production, and dust build-up can cause fire. 
Contact with the prongs of the plug can also 
cause electric shock. Do not connect the unit 
to an outlet where the connection is loose 
even when the plug is inserted all the way to 
its base. Do not use the unit if the plug is 
hot. Heat production can cause fire. 
If dust or metal accumulates on or near the 
prongs of the plug, wipe the plug with a dry 
cloth after disconnection. Continued use 
may cause fire or electric shock.
12. Danger signs
If you notice a strange noise, smoke, 
unusual odour or other abnormal condition, 
shut off the unit, disconnect the power cord 
from the outlet and have the unit inspected. 
Continued use may result in fire or electric 
shock.
13. Electric storms
During electrical storms disconnect the unit 
and avoid contact with the antenna and 
power cord. Lightning can cause fire, 
electric shock and malfunction.
14. Internal temperature rise
To avoid internal temperature rise when 
installing the unit, leave space between the 
unit and walls or other equipments. When 
installed in a rack or similar fixture, leave a 
10cm (4") or larger gap on top and at sides 
since internal temperature rise can result in 
fire. The unit is provided with ventilation 
holes to prevent internal temperature rise. 
Blockage of these holes decreases 
ventilation and can result in fire. Note the 
following: 
*Do not place the unit in a poorly ventilated
area
*Do not place the unit on carpeting or on
bedding
*Do not obstruct the ventilation holes 
*Do not tilt the unit or turn upside down
15. Extended non-use
If the unit is likely to be unused for an 
extended period, shut off power and 
disconnect from power supply.
16. Volume Adjustment
If abnormal noise is produced during play at 
high volume, reduce the volume level. 
Distorted sound can cause overheating of 
speakers and amplifier. Before switching
