Before using this System

Precautions

There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If anything
goes wrong, unplug the power cord and consult your
dealer.

Notes on installing the System

• Select a location which is level, dry and neither too hot nor
too cold between 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F).

• Do not install the System in a location subject to
vibrations.

• Do not put heavy objects on the System.

Avoid moisture, water, dust, and high
temperatures

• Do not install the System in moist or dusty locations.

• 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.

To prevent malfunctions or damage to the System

• Do not insert any metallic objects, such as wires, hairpins,
coins, etc. into the System.

• Do not block the vents.

Notes on the power cord

• When you are away on travel or otherwise for an extended
period of time, remove the plug from the wall outlet. A
small amount of power is always consumed while the
power cord is connected to the wall outlet.

• When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always
pull the plug, not the power cord.

• Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or moving the
System.

• Do not modify, twist or pull the power cord, or put
anything heavy on it. Doing so may cause fire, electric
shock, or other accidents.

About copyright laws

Observe the copyright laws in your country before recording
from original sources. Recording of copyrighted material
may infringe copyright laws.

Notes on installing and using the speakers

• Place the speakers and subwoofer on a flat and level
surface.

• The speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color
distortions on TVs. If the color on a TV is distorted,
perform the following procedure:
– Turn off the TV’s main power switch or unplug it

before installing the speakers. Then wait at least
30 minutes before turning on the TV’s main power

switch again.
Some TVs may still be affected even though you have
followed the above procedure. If this happens, move the
speakers away from the TV.

• The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded. To avoid
color distortion, do not place it near the TV or monitor.

• When moving the speakers and subwoofer, do not pull the
speaker cords. Doing so may cause the speakers and/or
subwoofer to fall over, causing damage or injury.

• When installing the speakers on a wall, be sure to have
them installed by qualified personnel. DO NOT install the
speakers on a wall by yourself.

• Do not lean against the speakers, as they could fall down
or break, possibly causing an injury. Be especially careful
that children do not lean against them.

About the adjustment of volume

Always set the volume to the minimum level before starting
any source. If the volume is set at a high level, the sudden
blast of sound could permanently damage your hearing and/
or blow out the speakers.

To clean the System

• Use a soft cloth. Follow the relevant instructions on the
use of chemically-coated cloths.

• If the System is heavily stained, apply a small amount of
water or neutral detergent to the cloth and wipe clean, then
wipe with a dry cloth.

• Do not use benzene, thinner or other organic solvents and
disinfectants. These may cause deformation or
discoloring.

About the copyguard system

The discs are protected by the copyguard system. When
connecting the System to a TV via a VCR, or to a TV with a
built-in VCR, the copyguard system activates and distortion
of the picture may occur.

Before using this System

Precautions

There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If anything
goes wrong, unplug the power cord and consult your
dealer.

Notes on installing the System

• Select a location which is level, dry and neither too hot nor
too cold between 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F).

• Do not install the System in a location subject to
vibrations.

• Do not put heavy objects on the System.

Avoid moisture, water, dust, and high
temperatures

• Do not install the System in moist or dusty locations.

• 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.

To prevent malfunctions or damage to the System

• Do not insert any metallic objects, such as wires, hairpins,
coins, etc. into the System.

• Do not block the vents.

Notes on the power cord

• When you are away on travel or otherwise for an extended
period of time, remove the plug from the wall outlet. A
small amount of power is always consumed while the
power cord is connected to the wall outlet.

• When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always
pull the plug, not the power cord.

• Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or moving the
System.

• Do not modify, twist or pull the power cord, or put
anything heavy on it. Doing so may cause fire, electric
shock, or other accidents.

About copyright laws

Observe the copyright laws in your country before recording
from original sources. Recording of copyrighted material
may infringe copyright laws.

Notes on installing and using the speakers

• Place the speakers and subwoofer on a flat and level
surface.

• The speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color
distortions on TVs. If the color on a TV is distorted,
perform the following procedure:
– Turn off the TV’s main power switch or unplug it

before installing the speakers. Then wait at least
30 minutes before turning on the TV’s main power

switch again.
Some TVs may still be affected even though you have
followed the above procedure. If this happens, move the
speakers away from the TV.

• The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded. To avoid
color distortion, do not place it near the TV or monitor.

• When moving the speakers and subwoofer, do not pull the
speaker cords. Doing so may cause the speakers and/or
subwoofer to fall over, causing damage or injury.

• When installing the speakers on a wall, be sure to have
them installed by qualified personnel. DO NOT install the
speakers on a wall by yourself.

• Do not lean against the speakers, as they could fall down
or break, possibly causing an injury. Be especially careful
that children do not lean against them.

About the adjustment of volume

Always set the volume to the minimum level before starting
any source. If the volume is set at a high level, the sudden
blast of sound could permanently damage your hearing and/
or blow out the speakers.

To clean the System

• Use a soft cloth. Follow the relevant instructions on the
use of chemically-coated cloths.

• If the System is heavily stained, apply a small amount of
water or neutral detergent to the cloth and wipe clean, then
wipe with a dry cloth.

• Do not use benzene, thinner or other organic solvents and
disinfectants. These may cause deformation or
discoloring.

About the copyguard system

The discs are protected by the copyguard system. When
connecting the System to a TV via a VCR, or to a TV with a
built-in VCR, the copyguard system activates and distortion
of the picture may occur.
