Placement

Foreign materials

Avoid placing the unit in areas of:

• direct suniight

• high temperature

• high humidity

• excessive vibration

• uneven surfaces. (Place the unit on a flat level surface). Such conditions might damage the cabinet and/or other compo nent parts and thereby shorten the unit’s service life.

Ventilation

Place the unit in a well ventilated position at least 10 cm away

from wall surfaces etc.

Stacking

Never place heavy Items on top of the unit or the power cord.

Voltage

' It is very dangerous to use an AC power source of high voltage

such as for an air conditioner. A fire might be caused by such a connection,

IA DC power source cannot be used.

Be sure to check the power source carefully, especially on a

ship or other place where DC is used.

Power cord protection

• Avoid cuts, scratches or poor connection of the AC mains cord, as this may result in fire or electric shock hazard.

Excessive bending, pulling or slicing of the cord should also be avoided.

' Do not pull on the cord when you are disconnecting the power,

as this could cause an electric shock. Grasp the plug firmly when you disconnect the power supply.

' Never touch the plug with wet hands or a serious electric shock

could result.

• Ensure that no foreign objects, such as needles, coins, screwdrivers etc, accidentally fall into the unit or through the ventilation holes. Otherwise, a serious electric shock or malfunction could occur.

• Be extremely careful about spilling water or liquid on/into the unit, as a fire or electric shock could occur. (Disconnect the power plug and contact your dealer immediate ly if this occurs.)

• Avoid spraying insecticides onto the unit as they contain flam mable gases which can be ignited.

• Insecticides, alcohol, paint thinner and similar chemicals should never be used to clean the unit as they can cause flaking or cloudiness to the cabinet finish.

Maintenance (See page 15.)

Clean the cabinet, pane! and controls with a soft cloth lightly moistened with mild detergent solution.

Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

Service

I Never attempt to repair, disassemble or reconstruct the unit if

there seems to be a problem. A serious electric shock could result if you ignore this precau tionary measure.

> If a problem occurs during operation (the sound is interrupted,
