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.
Notes of Placement
