Listening caution

Selecting fine 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.
can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to
Sound 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.

Placement of speakers

Speakers are designed identically so that no left or right channel orientation is necessary.
Note
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32") away from the system for
• proper ventilation. These speakers do not have magnetic shielding. Do not place
• them near televisions, personal computers or other devices easily influenced by magnetism.
To avoid damage to the speakers, do not touch the speaker cones if you have taken the nets off.
You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if
you play
sound at high levels over extended periods.
Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid damage.
− When playing distorted sound.
− When adjusting the sound quality.
− When turning the unit on or off.
Use only the supplied speakers.
The combination of the main unit and speakers provide the best sound. Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality will be negatively affected.

Preparing the remote control

Batteries
Use a manganese dry battery or an alkali dry battery.
• Insert so the poles (+ and –) match those in the remote control.
• Remove if the remote control is not going to be used for a long period
• of time. Store in a cool, dark place.
• Do not heat or expose to flame.
• Do not leave the batteries in an automobile exposed to direct sunlight
• for a long period of time with doors and windows closed. Mishandling of batteries in the remote control can cause electrolyte
• leakage, which may cause a fire.
Use
Aim at the remote control sensor, avoiding obstacles, at a maximum range of 7 m (23 feet) directly in front of the unit. Refer to page 6 for remote control signal sensor position.
Caution
Use the speakers only with the recommended
• system. Failure to do so can damage the amplifier and speakers, and can cause fire. Consult a qualified service person if damage occurs or if a sudden change in performance is apparent. Do not attach these speakers to walls or ceilings.
R6/LR6, AA
Place this side in before the other side
Do not:
mix old and new batteries;
• use different types of batteries at the same time;
• take apart or short-circuit;
• attempt to recharge alkaline or manganese batteries;
• use batteries if their covering has been peeled off.
CAUTION
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
