or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects

have fallen into the soundbar, or the soundbar has been

exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally,

or has been dropped.

8. The system is designed to comply with the

recommended safety standards for tilt and stability.

Do not apply excessive pulling force to the front, or

top, of the cabinet which could cause the soundbar to

overturn resulting in soundbar damage and/or personal

injury.

9. Follow instructions for wall, shelf or ceiling mounting as

recommended in this user guide.

mains cable with an extension cord, receptacle, or other

outlet unless the blades and ground terminal can be fully

inserted to prevent blade exposure. Never connect the

audio system to 60 Hz DC, or anything other than the

specified voltage.
