Foreign matter

Service

Table of contents

Placement

Set the unit 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 unit’s service life.

Place it at least 15 cm away from wall surfaces to avoid distortion
and unwanted acoustical effects.

ENGLISH

Do not place heavy items on the unit.

Voltage

Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the unit
and cause a fi re.

Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when
setting the unit 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 fi re or electric shock.
Do not pull, bend, or place heavy items on the lead.

Grasp the plug fi rmly 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 unit. This can cause electric
shock or malfunction.

Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric shock or
malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the unit from the
power supply and contact your dealer.

Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain
fl ammable gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.

Service

Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is interrupted,
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 authorized service center.
Electric shock or damage to the unit can occur if the unit is repaired,
disassembled or reconstructed by unqualifi ed persons.

Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the power
source if it is not to be used for a long time.

Place the speakers so that the tweeter is on the inside.

Use only the supplied speakers.

The combination of the main unit and speakers provide the best
sound. Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality
will be negatively affected.

Note:

• Keep your speakers at least 10mm 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
infl uenced by magnetism.

• To avoid damage to the speakers, do not touch the speaker cones
if you have taken the nets off.

• You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if you
play sound at high levels over extended periods.

• Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid damage.
– When playing distorted sound.
– When adjusting the sound quality.

CAUTION

• Use the speakers only with the recommended system.
Failure to do so can damage the amplifi er and speakers,
and can cause fi re. Consult a qualifi ed service person if
damage occurs or if a sudden change in performance is
apparent.

• Do not attach these speakers to walls or ceilings.
