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.
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.
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.

2. Foreign material—Ensure objects and liquids do not get into the unit. Avoid exposing the unit to excessive smoke, dust, mechanical vibration, and shock.
3. Magnetism—Situate the unit away from equipment and devices that generate strong magnetic fields.
4. Stacking—Do not place heavy objects on top of this unit.
5. Surface—Place the unit on a flat, level surface.
6. Carts and stands—Use the unit only with carts
and stands recommended by the manufacturer. Move carts with care. Sudden stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces can cause carts to overturn.
7. Wall and ceiling mounting—Do not mount the unit on walls or ceilings unless specified in the instructions.
Environment
1. Water and moisture—Do not use the unit near water, such as near a bathtub or swimming pool. Avoid damp basements.
2. Heat—Situate the unit away from heat sources, such as radiators. Do not situate where temperatures fall below 5°C (41°F) or rise above 35°C (95°F).
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.
Maintenance
(See back cover for details.)
Unplug the unit from the household AC outlet before cleaning. Clean with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive pads, scouring powders, or solvents.
Service
1. Damage requiring service —The unit should be serviced by qualified service personnel if: (a) The AC power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or (b) Objects or liquids have gotten into the unit; or (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.

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.
Remote control signal sensor
Transmission window
Operation 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 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.
