Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a JVC product.
Please read all instructions carefully before operation, to ensure your complete understanding and
to obtain the best possible performance from the unit.

Precautions

Installation

• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold–between 5°C and 35°C.

• Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat buildup inside
the System.

DO NOT install the System in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to
direct sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.

• Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV.

• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference with TV.

Power sources

• When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always pull on the plug, not the AC adaptor.

DO NOT handle the AC adaptor with wet hands.

Internal heat

For safety, observe the following carefully:

• Make sure there is good ventilation around the System. Poor ventilation could
overheat and damage the System.

• DO NOT block the ventilation openings or holes. If they are blocked by a newspaper
or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.

Others

• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the System, unplug the AC adaptor and consult your
dealer before operating any further.

DO NOT disassemble the System since there are no user serviceable parts inside.

• If you are not going to operate the System for an extended period of time, unplug the AC adaptor
from the wall outlet.
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC adaptor and consult your dealer.
