B Use a standard AC wall outlet

1. Use from an AC power source of high voltage, such as that

used for an air conditioner, is very dangerous.

A fire might be caused by such a connection.

2. A 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.

B Grasp the plug when disconnecting the power supply

cord

1. Wet hands are dangerous.

A dangerous electric shock may result if the plug is touched by wet hands.

2. Never place heavy Items on top of the power supply cord,

nor force it to bend sharply.

B Place the unit where it will be well ventilated

Place this unit at least 10 cm (4") away from wall surfaces, etc. Be careful that curtains and similar materials do not obstruct the ventilation holes.

B Avoid places such as the following:

In direct sunlight or in other places where the temperature is

high. In places where there is excessive vibration or humidity.

Such conditions might damage the cabinet and/or other component parts and thereby shorten the unit’s service life.

B Be sure to place the unit on a flat, level surface

If the surface is incline, a malfunction may result.

B Never attempt to repair nor reconstruct this unit

A serious electric shock might occur if this unit is repaired,

disassembled or reconstructed by unauthorized persons, or if the internal parts are accidentally touched.

B Take particular care if children are present

Never permit children to put anything, especially metal, inside this unit. A serious electric shock or malfunction could occur if articles such as coins, needles, screwdrivers, etc. are inserted through the

ventilation holes, etc. of this unit.

B If water is spilled on the unit

Be extremely careful if water is spilled on the unit, because a fire or serious electric shock might occur. Immediately disconnect the power cord plug, and consult with your dealer.

B Avoid spray-type insecticides

insecticides might cause cracks or “cloudiness" in the cabinet and plastic parts of this unit. The gas used in such sprays might, moreover, be ignited suddenly.

B Never use alcohol or paint thinner

These and similar chemicals should never be used, because they might cause flaking or cloudiness of the cabinet finish.

B Disconnect the power supply cord if the unit will not

be used for a long time

If the unit is left for a long time with the power ON, this not only will shorten its useful operation life, but also may cause other trouble,

B If trouble occurs

If, during operation, the sound is interrupted or indicators no longer illuminate, or if an abnormal odour or smoke is detected, immediately disconnect the power cord plug, and contact with your dealer or an Authorized Service Center.

Concerning the Remote Control

Battery installation

Insert two UM-4 “AAA”, (1.5 V) or equivalent batteries.

Correct method of use

Remote control signal sensor

Use of batteries

• Do not mix old and new batteries, or batteries of different types (manganese and alkaline, etc.).

• Never subject batteries to excessive heat or flame ; do not attempt to disassemble them; and be sure they are not short-circuited.

• If the remote control Is not to be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries and store them in a cool, dark place.

• Do not attempt to recharge alkaline or manganese batteries.

Battery life

The battery life is about one year.

The batteries should be replaced if commands from the remote control transmitter do not operate the unit even when the transmitter is held close to the front panel.

Face about 7 meters in

front of the sensor.

Operation notes

• Aim the remote control’s transmission window toward the unit’s sensor. Avoid any obstacles.

• Be sure the transmission window and the unit’s sensor are free from dust. Excessive dust might affect its performance.

• The operation may not be correct if direct sunlight or other strong light source strikes the receiving sensor of this unit. If there is a problem, place the unit away from the light source.

• If this system is installed in a rack with glass doors, the glass doors’ thickness or color might make it necessary to use the remote control a shorter distance from the system.

• Never place heavy items.

• Do not disassemble or reconstruct.

• Do not spill water or other liquids.
