PRECAUTIONS
Before using this unit please read these operating instructions care
fully. Take special care to follow the warnings indicated on the unit
itself as well as the safety suggestions listed below.
Aftenwards keep them handy for future reference,
Safety
"O
§
S
to
£
o
O
Power Source—The unit should be connected to a power supply
only of the type described in the operating instructions or as
marked on the unit. If you are not sure of the type of power supply
to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power
company.
Polarization—if the unit is equipped with a polarized AC power
plug {a plug having one blade wider than the other), that plug will
fit into the AC outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you
are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to
replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the polarized plug.
Power Cord Protection—AC power supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them. Never lake hold of the plug or
cord if your hand is wet, and always grasp the plug body when
connecting or disconnecting it.
Overloading—Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords
as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
Nonuse Periods—When the unit is not being used, turn the
power off. When left unused for a long time, the unit should be
unplugged from the household AC outlet.
Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by the
unit manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
Installation
Environment
1. Water and Moisture—Do not use this unit near water—for ex
ample, near a bathtub, washbowl, swimming pool, or the like.
Damp basements should also be avoided.
2. Condensation—Moisture may form on the lens in the following
conditions...
• immediately after a heater has been turned on.
• in a steamy or very humid room.
•when the unit is suddenly moved from a cold environment to a
warm one.
If moisture forms inside this unit, it may not operate properly. To
correct this problem, turn on the power and wait about one hour
for the moisture to evaporate.
3. Heat—The unit should be situated away from heat sources such
as radiators and the like. It also should not be placed in tempera
tures less than 5°C (4rF) or greater than 35“C (95°F).
Placement
1. Ventilation—The unit should be situated so that its location or
position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. Allow
10 cm (4") clearance from the rear of the unit.
2. Foreign Material—Care should be taken so that objects do not
fall into and liquids are not spilled into the unit. Do not subject this
unit to excessive smoke, dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.
3. Carts and Stands—The unit should be used only with a cart or
stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.
The unit and cart combination should be moved
with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and un
even surfaces may cause the unit and cart combi
nation to overturn.
4. Mounting—Any mounting of the appliance should follow the
manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting
accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
Maintenance
Disconnect this unit from the AC outlet before cleaning.
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth lightly moist
ened with a mild detergent solution.
Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent
such as alcohol or benzine.
Service
1. Damage Requiring Service—The unit should be serviced by
qualified service personnel when:
(a) The AC power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
{b) Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled into the unit; or
(c) The unit has been exposed to water; or
(d) The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a
marked change in performance; or
(e) The unit has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
2. Servicing—The user should not attempt to service the unit be
yond that described in the operating instructions. All other servic
ing should be referred to an authorized service personnel.
For the address of an authorized servicenter:
in the U.S.A., cal! 1-800-211-7262,
e-mailconsumerproducts@panasonic.com,
or visit www.panasonic.com
In Canada, call 905-624-5505
or visit www.panasonic.ca
3. Replacement parts—When parts need replacing, ensure the
servicer uses parts specified by the manufacturer or parts that
have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized
substitutes may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
4. Safety check—After repairs or service, ask the servicer to
perform safety checks to confirm that the unit is in proper working
condition.

Listening caution Remote control preparations
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just pur
chased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to
consider how you can maximize the fun artd excitement your equip
ment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Associ
ation’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of
your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound
come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distor
tion—and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive
hearing.
We recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure to excessive
noise.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level"
adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal" can
actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level
BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
• Start your volume control at a low setting.
•Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and
clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
• Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage
or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
Battery installation
•Align the poles (-1- and -) properly when inserting the batteries.
• Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.
• Do not recharge ordinary dry cell batteries.
• Do not heat or disassemble the batteries. Do not allow them to
contact flame or water.
• Remove the batteries if the unit is not to be used for a long time.
• Do not keep together with metallic objects such as necklaces.
• Do not use rechargeable type batteries.
• Do not use batteries if the covering has been peeled off.
Mishandling of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage which can
damage items the fluid contacts and may cause a fire.
If electrolyte leaks from the batteries, consult your dealer.
Wash thoroughly with water if electrolyte comes in contact with any
part of your body.

Operation notes
Remote control signal sensor
• Do not place obstacles between the remote control signal sensor
and remote control unit.
• Do not expose the remote control signal sensor to direct sunlight or
to the bright light of a fluorescent light.
•Take care to keep the remote control signal sensor and end of the
remote control unit free from the dust.
• If this system is installed in a rack with glass doors, the glass doors’
thickness or color might make it necessary to use the remote
control a shorter distance from the system.
To prevent damage
• Never place heavy items on top of the unit.
• Do not disassemble or reconstruct the unit.
• Do not spill water or other liquids into the unit.
