Safety precautions
Placement
Set the system up on an even surface away from direct sunlight, |
|
high temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These |
|
conditions can damage the cabinet and other components, thereby |
|
shortening the unit’s service life. |
|
Place it at least 15 cm away from wall surfaces to avoid distortion |
|
and unwanted acoustical effects. |
|
Do not place heavy items on the unit. |
using |
Voltage |
|
|
Before |
Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the unit and cause a fire.
Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when setting the unit up on a ship or other place where DC is used.
AC mains lead protection
Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not damaged.
Poor connection and lead damage can cause fire or electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or place heavy items on the lead.
Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the AC mains lead can cause electric shock.
Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric shock.
Foreign matter
Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can cause electric shock or malfunction.
Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric shock or malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the unit from the power supply and contact your dealer.
Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain flammable gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.
Service
Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is interrupted, indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any other problem that is not covered in these instructions occurs, disconnect the AC mains lead and contact your dealer or an authorized service center. Electric shock or damage to the unit can occur if the unit is repaired, disassembled or reconstructed by unqualified persons.
Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the power source if it is not to be used for a long time.

Note
For best reception sound quality:
An FM outdoor antenna is recommended. (See page 7.)
Connect the AM loop antenna.
After attaching the antenna, turn on the system and tune in a broadcast station. Then, turn the antenna to the angle of best reception and least interference.
Connect the speaker cables.
Connect each end of the speaker cables to the terminal lever of the same colour.
Caution
•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.
•To prevent damage to circuitry, never short-circuit positive (+) and negative (–) speaker wires.
Caution
•Use the speakers only with the recommended system.
Failure to do so may lead to damage to the amplifier and/or the speakers, and may result in the risk of fire.
Consult a qualified service person if damage has occurred or if you experience a sudden change in performance.
•Do not attach these speakers to walls or ceilings.
Connect the AC mains lead.
(FOR UNITED KINGDOM ONLY)
BE SURE TO READ THE CAUTION FOR THE AC MAINS LEAD ON PAGE 4 BEFORE CONNECTION.
Insertion of connector
Even when the connector is perfectly inserted, depending on the type of inlet used, the front part of the connector may jut out as shown in the drawing.
However there is no problem using the unit.
Note
The included AC mains lead is for use with this unit only. Do not use it with other equipment.
