Safety precautions
|
ENGLISH |
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
|
Service |

|
|
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 authorised service centre. Electric |
|
|
shock or damage to the system can occur if the system is repaired, |
|
|
disassembled or reconstructed by unqualified persons. |
|
|

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! |
RQTX1299 |
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. |
Placement of speakers
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.
