Notice

• Do not place objects on the speaker system. The speaker system may drops or fall over by losing balance and may cause an injury.

• Do not place on a shaky platform, sloping surface, or other unstable place.

The speaker system may drop or fall over by losing balance and may cause an injury.

• Please select an installation site that has stable oor. If placed on a long-ber carpet, the bers may contact the oscillator panel and cause irregular noise.

• Install the unit away from the tuner's antenna cable. Noise may be generated if the two are too close together. If this happens, keep the main unit away from

the antenna and antenna cable.

• If a television or other device is nearby, noise interference may be produced by the speakers due to electrical interference, etc. even if audio device power is disconnected. If such noise interference is problematic, further separate the

speakers.

• The speaker unit for this product uses an extremely strong magnet. Do not place drivers or other metallic objects near the front of the speaker system. Doing so may cause injury from objects being attracted or damage the

oscillation panel. Moreover, do not place cash cards, oppy disks, or other magnetic media near the speaker. The magnetic eld may cause those items

to be unusable or lose data.

• This unit is not designed with anti-magnetic shielding. Nearby CRT televisions

and computers may experience screen color distortion due to the presence the

magnetic eld. In such cases, move the speakers further away before use.

• This unit is capable of regular music playback. However, if any of the following special signals are input, circuits may burnout due to excessive current.

Please exercise caution.

1. Noise resulting from incorrect FM channel reception

2. Noise from oscillator, electronic music device, or other high-frequency component

3. Audio Check CD and other special signal sounds

4. Feedback from microphone

5. Sound produced when tape recorder is fast forwarded

6. When amplier is reverberating

7. Shock sound when plugging and unplugging pin cord or other connection jacks

Maintenance

 (Note) Speaker Impedance

When using all supplied speakers, setup explained in this section is not required. When using speakers sold separately, use speakers with impedance of 4 Ω to 16 Ω. If any of the speakers to be connected has an impedance of 4 Ω or more and less than 6 Ω, set "Speaker Impedance" to "4 ohms" for "Speaker Setup" in the Initial Setup section ( p95). When setting "Speaker Impedance" from the Setup menu, press on the remote controller, and set "2. Speaker" - "Conguration" - "Speaker Impedance" ( p83) to "4 ohms".

 Connect the Speaker Cables

≫

Make correct connection between the unit's jacks and speaker's jacks (+ side to + side, and - side to - side) for each channel. If the connection is wrong, a bass sound will not be reproduced properly due to reverse phase. The wires exposed from the tip of the speaker cable do not stick out of the speaker terminal when connecting. If the exposed wires touch the rear panel, or the + side and - side wires touch each other, a malfunction may occur.
