Precautions
Notes on the power cord
When you go away for an extended period of time,
•
remove the plug from the wall outlet.
When unplugging the System from the wall outlet,
•
always pull the plug, not the power cord.
Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
•
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the System or
•
moving the System.
Do not alter, twist or pull the power cord, or put anything
•
heavy on it, which may cause fire, electric shock, or other
accidents.
Avoid moisture, water, dust, and high temperatures
Do not place the System in moist or dusty places.
•
If water gets inside the System, turn off the power and
•
remove the plug from the wall outlet, then consult your
dealer. Using the System in this state may cause a fire or
electrical shock.
Do not expose the System to direct sunlight or place it
•
near a heating device.

the antennas away from metallic parts of the System, connecting cords, and the AC power cord. Otherwise, it could
cause poor reception.
When connecting the speaker cords, match the polarities of the speaker terminals: red to (+) and black to (–).
•
DO NOT connect more than one speaker to each terminal.
•
Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance as indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of the System.
