IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit. Follow the safety instructions on the unit and the safety
precautions listed below. Keep these operating instructions handy for future reference.
Safety
1. Power source—Connect the unit to a power source of
the type described in these instructions or as marked
on the unit.
2. Polarization—The unit is equipped with a polarized
power plug where one blade is wider than the other.
This safety feature ensures that the plug fits into your
household AC outlet only one way. If the plug doesn’t fit
Before use
one way, try reversing it. If the plug still doesn’t fit,
contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do
not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the plug.
3. Power cord protection—Route the AC power supply
cord so that it will not be walked on or pinched by items
placed on or against it. Never take hold of the plug or
cord with wet hands. Always grasp the plug body firmly
when connecting and disconnecting it.
3. Power lines—Take care when setting up an outdoor
antenna that it is not near overhead power lines, electric lights, or electrical circuits, and that there is no danger of the antenna falling on power lines, electric lights,
or electrical circuits. When installing an outdoor antenna,
take extreme care not to touch such power lines or
circuits, as contact with them can be fatal.
4. Outdoor antenna grounding—If you connect an outdoor antenna, ground the antenna system to protect
against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
No. 70-1990, provides information about grounding of
the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the leadin wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode. Refer to this diagram.
4. Overloading—When connecting the AC power supply
cord, be careful not to overload the household AC outlet, extension cord, or outlet from any other device as
this can result in fire or electric shock.
5. Nonuse periods—Turn the unit off when it is not in
use. Unplug the unit from the household AC outlet if it is
not to be used for a long time. Unplug the unit during
lightning storms.
6. Attachments and accessories—Use only the attachments and accessories recommended in these operating instructions.

(c) The unit has been exposed to rain; or
(d) The unit does not operate normally or exhibits a
marked change in performance; or
(e) The unit has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.
2. Servicing—Do not attempt to service the unit beyond
that described in these operating instructions. Refer all
other servicing to authorized servicing personnel.
3. Replacement parts—When parts need replacing ensure the servicer uses parts specified by the manufacturer or parts that have the same characteristics as the
original parts. Unauthorized substitutes may result in
fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
4. Safety check—After repairs or service, ask the servicer
to perform safety checks to confirm that the unit is in
proper working condition.
Listening caution
EST. 1924
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.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort
level” adapts to 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.

Use of batteries
• Align the poles (+ and –) properly when inserting the
batteries.
• Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of
batteries.
• Do not recharge ordinary dry cell batteries.
• Do not heat or disassemble the batteries. Do not allow
them to contact flame or water.
• Remove the batteries if the unit is not to be used for a long
time.
• Do not keep together with metallic objects such as
necklaces.
• Do not use rechargeable type batteries.
• Do not use batteries if the covering has been peeled off.
Mishandling of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage
which can damage items the fluid contacts and may cause a
fire.
If electrolyte leaks from the batteries, consult your dealer.
Wash thoroughly with water if electrolyte comes in contact
with any part of your body.
Correct method of use
Before use
Placement of speakers
Speakers are designed identically so that no left or right
channel orientation is necessary.
Notes
• Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (
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.

Operations notes
• Do not place obstacles between the remote control signal
sensor and remote control unit.
• Do not expose the remote control signal sensor to direct
sunlight or to the bright light of a fluorescent light.
• Take care to keep the remote control signal sensor and
end of the remote control unit free from dust.
• 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 unit a shorter distance from the
system.
To prevent damage
• Never place heavy items on top of the unit.
• Do not disassemble or reconstruct the unit.
• Do not spill water or other liquids into the unit.
