Suggestions for Safety

■ Use a standard AC wall outlet

1. Use from an AC power source of high voltage, such as that

used for an air conditioner, is very dangerous.

A fire might be caused by such a connection.

2. A DC power source cannot be used.

Be sure to check the power source carefully, especially on a ship or other place where DC is used.

■ Grasp the plug when disconnecting the power

supply cord

1. Wet hands are dangerous.

A dangerous electric shock may result If the plug is touched by wet hands.

2. Never place heavy Items on top of the power supply cord,

nor force it to bend sharply.

■ Place the unit where it will be well ventilated

Place this unit at least 10 cm (4") away from wall surfaces, etc.

■ Avoid places such as the following:

In direct sunlight or in other places where the temperature is high. In places where there is excessive vibration or humidity.

Such conditions might damage the cabinet and/or other component parts and thereby shorten the unit’s service life.

■ Be sure to place the unit on a flat, level surface

If the surface is inclined, a malfunction may result.

■ Never attempt to repair nor reconstruct this

unit

A serious electric shock might occur if this unit is repaired, dis assembled or reconstructed by unauthorized persons, or if the

internal parts are accidentally touched.

■ Take particular care if children are present

Never permit children to put anything, especiaiiy metal, inside this unit. A serious eiectric shock or malfunction could occur if articles such as coins, needles, screwdrivers, etc. are inserted through the ventiiation holes, etc. of this unit.

■ If water is spilled on the unit

Be extremely careful if water is spilled on the unit, because a fire or serious electric shock might occur. Immediately disconnect the power cord plug, and consult with your dealer.

■ Avoid spray-type insecticides

Insecticides might cause cracks or “cloudiness" in the cabinet and

plastic parts of this unit. The gas used in such sprays might,

moreover, be ignited suddenly.

■ Never use alcohol or paint thinner

These and similar chemicals should never be used, because they might cause flaking or cloudiness of the cabinet finish.

■ Disconnect the power supply cord if the unit

will not be used for a long time

If the unit is left for a long time with the power ON, this not only will

shorten its useful operation life, but also may cause other trouble.

■ If trouble occurs

If, during operation, the sound is interrupted or indicators no longer illuminate, or if an abnormal odour or smoke is detected, imme diately disconnect the power cord plug, and contact with your dealer or an Authorized Service Center.
