Safety precautions

Table of contents

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
service life of the system.

Place it at least 15 cm away from wall surfaces to avoid distortion and
unwanted acoustical effects.

Do not place heavy items on the system.

Voltage

Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the system
and cause a fire.

Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when
setting the system 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 system. This can cause electric
shock or malfunction.

Do not let liquids get into the system. This can cause electric shock or
malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the system from the
power supply and contact your dealer.

Do not spray insecticides onto or into the system. They contain
flammable gases which can ignite if sprayed into the system.

Preparing the remote control

ENGLISH

Placement of speakers

Use alkaline or manganese battery.

Install the battery so that the poles (+ and –) align with those in the
remote control.

Point the remote control at the remote control sensor (Z 6), away from
obstacles, at a maximum range of 7 m directly in front of the main unit.

CAUTION!

• Do not break open or short-circuit the battery.

• Do not charge the alkaline or manganese battery.

• Do not use the battery if the cover has peeled off.

• Do not heat or expose to flame.

• Do not leave the battery(ies) in an automobile exposed to direct
sunlight for a long period of time with doors and windows closed.

• Mishandling of battery can cause electrolyte leakage, which can
cause a fire.

• Remove the battery if you do not use the remote control for a long
period of time. Keep in a cool, dark area.

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.

The right and left speakers are the same.

You cannot remove the net of the speakers.

Use only the supplied speakers.

The combination of the main unit and speakers give the best sound.
You can cause damage to the system and decrease the sound quality if
you use other speakers.

Note:

• Keep your speakers more than 10 mm from the main unit for
ventilation.

• Put the speakers on a flat safe surface.

• These speakers do not have magnetic shielding. Do not put them
near TVs, PCs or other equipment easily influenced by magnetism.

• When you play at high levels for a long period, it can cause damage
to the system and decrease the life of the system.

• Decrease the volume in these conditions to prevent damage:
– When you play distorted sound.
– When you adjust the sound quality.

CAUTION!

• Use the speakers only with the recommended system. If not,
you can cause damage to the amplifier and speakers and
can cause a fire. Consult an approved service personnel if
damage occurs or if there is a sudden apparent change in
performance.

• Do the procedures included in these instructions when you
attach the speakers.
