FCC Note:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in
a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.

Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this
equipment would void the user’s authority to operate
this device.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

Listening caution

%34

Selecting fi ne audio equipment such as the unit you’ve
just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment.
Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun
and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer
and the Electronic Industries Association’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 distortion—and, most importantly, without affecting your
sensitive hearing.

We recommend that you 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.

Do not:

• mix old and new batteries;

• use different types of batteries at the same time;

• heat or expose to fl ame;

• take apart or short-circuit;

• attempt to recharge alkaline or manganese batteries;

• These speakers do not have magnetic shielding. Do not place them near televisions, personal computers or other devices easily infl uenced
by magnetism.

• You cannot take the front net off the speakers.

Caution

• Use the speakers only with the recommended system. Failure to do so can damage the amplifi er and
speakers, and can cause fi re. Consult a qualifi ed service person if damage occurs or if a sudden
change in performance is apparent.

• Do not attach these speakers to walls or ceilings.

Colocación de los altavoces

Los altavoces han sido diseñados idénticamente por lo que no es necesario orientar el canal derecho o izquierdo.

Utilice solamente los altavoces suministrados.

La combinación de la unidad principal y los altavoces proporcionan el mejor sonido. Utilizando otros altavoces se puede
estropear la unidad y el sonido quedará afectado negativamente.

Nota

• Mantenga sus altavoces alejados un mínimo de 10 mm (13/32˝ ) del sistema para tener una ventilación apropiada.

• Estos altavoces no disponen de blindaje magnético. No los ponga cerca de televisores, ordenadores personales u otros dispositivos a los
que afecte fácilmente el magnetismo.

• No quite la rejilla frontal de los altavoces.

Precaución

• Use los altavoces sólo con el sistema recomendado. De lo contrario, se podrían dañar el amplifi cador
y los altavoces, y se podría ocasionar un incendio. Consulte a un técnico de servicio especializado si

RQTV0080

se ha producido algún daño o si se ha producido un cambio repentino en su funcionamiento.

• No instale estos altavoces en paredes ni techos.
