6. These operating instructions

Never open the casing of the subwoofer, center, front and rear speakers! They do not contain any parts that can be maintained by the user. If the casings of the units are opened, then the guarantee expires!

No liability/guarantee will be assumed for damages which arise from

• opening the casings of the components and/or

• trying to repair the unit and which are not carried out by specialized qualied personnel!

Keep all components of the surround sound system away from sources of heat (e.g. radiators which have been put on)! Otherwise plastic parts could melt and/or the surround sound system could overheat. This can cause irreparable damage to the surround sound system.

Warning!

If the surround sound system overheats, there is also a re risk!

Do not place the surround sound system in damp environments, e.g. in cellars or in the sauna!

3. Application and Function

The eBench KH 2222 surround sound system is solely intended …

• as a consumer electronics system

Attention!

If moisture penetrates into the components, it can cause irreparable damage to them!

Warning!

In this case there is additionally also a re risk!

For safety reasons do not put the surround sound system directly near to water (e.g. near to the bath). Also do not place

KH 2222

any container lled with water – such as e.g. vases – on the components.

Attention!

If water runs into the components, it can cause irreparable damage!

Warning!

In this case there is additionally also a re risk!

The technical components of the surround sound system are designed for temperatures between 5º C and 35º C. Therefore only use the surround sound system in this temperature range.

Attention!

This could, otherwise, cause malfunctions or damage to the surround sound system!

Place all components of the surround sound system on a surface, which does not vibrate and which is at and stable. You thus prevent the components from falling down and being damaged.

Note:

As long as the surround sound system is plugged into a power socket, it is not free of electrical current. This also applies when the surround sound system has been switched o. Take the mains plug of the surround sound system out of the power socket if it is not to be used for a longer period of time. This avoids unnecessary power consumption.

No liability/guarantee is assumed for damages to the surround sound system and its components, which arise as a result of

• Eects of moisture

• Water which has penetrated into the unit

• Overheating

• Falling/being dropped!

Do not bend and squash the power cord, the speaker cables and the data cable. Lay all cables so that they are not steppe on.

Attention!

Otherwise the cables can be damaged and this will cause malfunctions to the surround sound system.

Warning!

If the power cord has been damaged there is the risk of an electric shock!

Therefore never try to repair a damaged power cord yourself! Repairs should be carried out solely by a qualied electrician or by our service partners. The addresses of our service partners can be found on the guarantee card. The guarantee is enclosed in the surround sound system.
