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 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
Before using
that it will not be walked on or pinched by items placed on or
against it. Never take hold of the plug or cord wih wet hands.
Always grasp the plug body firmly when connecting and
disconnecting it.
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.

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.
Installation
4. Outdoor antenna grounding—If you connect an outdoor an-
tenna, 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 lead-in 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.

Concerning the remote control
Listening caution
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 you to 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.
Battery installation
R6, AA, UM-3
Insert the batteries observing the correct polarities (e, d).
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 using
Placement of speakers
Speakers are designed identically so that no left or right channel
orientation is necessary.S
Notes
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32˝) away from the 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 speakers
•
cones if you have taken the nets off.
