Safety precautions

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.

Do not place heavy items on the unit.

Voltage

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

Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when
setting the unit up on a ship or other places 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 fire or electric shock.
Do not pull, bend, or place heavy items on the lead.

Grasp the plug firmly 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.

Preparing the remote control

Use alkaline or manganese batteries.

Install the batteries so that the poles (+ and –) align with those in the
remote control.

Placement of speakers

ENGLISHENGLISH

Point the remote control at the signal sensor of the remote control
(Z 9), away from obstacles, at a maximum range of 7 m directly in
front of the main unit.

CAUTION!

• Do not mix used and new batteries.

• Do not use different types of batteries at the same time.

• Do not break open or short-circuit the batteries.

• Do not charge the alkaline or manganese batteries.

• Do not use the batteries if the cover has peeled off.

• Do not heat or expose to flame.

• Do not leave the battery(ies) in an automobile exposed to direct
sunlight for a long period of time with doors and windows closed.

• Mishandling of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage, which can
cause a fire.

• Remove the batteries if you do not use the remote control for a long
period of time. Keep in a cool, dark area.

CAUTION!

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace
only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the
manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.

The right and left speakers are the same.

Use only the supplied speakers.

The combination of the main unit and speakers give the best sound.
You can cause damage to the system and decrease the sound
quality if you use other speakers.

Note:

• Keep your speakers more than 10 mm from the main unit for
ventilation.

• Put the speakers on a flat safe surface.

• When you play at high levels for a long period, it can cause
damage to the system and decrease the life of the system.

• Decrease the volume in these conditions to prevent damage:
– When you play distorted sound.
– When you adjust the sound quality.

Irregular colour on your TV

The setup condition of the speakers can cause unwanted effects to
the picture of the TV.
If this occurs, switch off the TV for 30 minutes.
If the demagnetising of the TV does not correct the problem, increase
the distance between the speakers and the TV.

CAUTION!

• Use the speakers only with the recommended system. If not,
you can cause damage to the amplifier and speakers and
can cause a fire. Consult an approved service personnel if
damage occurs or if there is a sudden apparent change in
performance.

• Do the procedures included in these instructions when you
attach the speakers.
