WARNING
This system is not disconnected from the AC power
source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even
if the system itself has been turned off.
To reduce the risk of re, do not cover the ventilation
opening of the apparatus with newspapers, tablecloths,
curtains, etc.
Do not place lighted candles or other sources of an open
ame on the apparatus.
To reduce the risk of re or electric shock, do not
expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing liquids,
and do not place objects lled with liquids, such as
vases, on the apparatus.
As the main plug is used to disconnect the system from
the AC power source, connect the system to an easily
accessible AC outlet. Should you notice an abnormality
in the system, disconnect the main plug from the AC
outlet immediately.
Do not install the appliance in a conned space, such as
a bookcase or built-in cabinet.
Do not expose battery or apparatus with battery installed
to excessive heat sources such as direct sunlight or re.
CAUTION
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
The nameplate is located on the bottom exterior.
Precautions
AC adaptor and AC power cord use
• Do not plug the AC power cord for the system into
an electrical outlet until you have made all other
connections. Make sure the TV or other component
is unplugged from the electrical outlet prior to
connecting it to the system.
• Do not connect the AC power cord to a voltage
transformer or inverter. Connecting the AC power
cord to a voltage transformer for overseas travel or an
inverter for use in an automobile may cause heat to
build up in the AC adaptor and may cause burns or a
malfunction.
• Do not use an AC adaptor or AC power cord other
than the supplied AC adaptor and AC power cord.
Do not modify the cord.
• Do not touch the plug of the AC power cord with wet
hands.
• Do not touch the AC power cord, AC adaptor or the
system, if connected to an electrical outlet, during an
electrical storm.
• Do not place heavy items on the cord.
• Do not place the AC power cord near heating
equipment and do not expose the cord to heat.
• Unplug the AC power cord from the electrical outlet
before cleaning or moving the system, or when you do
not intend to use the system for an extended period of
time. When disconnecting, grasp the power cord by
the plug and pull straight out of the electrical outlet.
Never pull by the cord and do not pull out
at an angle.
Use and Handling
• Although the system heats up during operation, this is
not a malfunction. If you continuously use this system
at high volume levels, the operating temperature at the
back and bottom of the unit will rise considerably.
To avoid burning yourself, do not touch the system.
• Place the system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat buildup and prolong the life
of the system.
• Do not place the system on surfaces that are unstable,
tilted or subject to vibration.”
• Do not place the system near equipment such as a
CRT (tube) TV, VCR, or tape deck. (If the system
is being used in combination with a CRT (tube) TV,
VCR, or tape deck, and is placed too close to that
equipment, noise may result, and picture quality may
suffer. This is especially likely when using an indoor
aerial.) (Use of an outdoor aerial is recommended.)

• The system is magnetically shielded to allow it to be
installed near a TV. However, colour irregularities
may still be observed on certain types of TVs. If
colour irregularity is observed, turn off the TV, and
then turn it back on after 15 to 30 minutes. If colour
irregularity is observed, again, move the system
further away from the TV.
• Do not use the openings on the rear to pick up or hold
the system and do not insert your ngers or hands
into them as this may cause injury or may damage the
system.
• Use caution when placing the system on surfaces that
have been specially treated (such as with wax, oil, or
polish), as staining or discolouration of the surface
may result.
Cleaning
Follow these instructions to help prevent the product
exterior from deteriorating or becoming discoloured.
• Wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not place any rubber or vinyl materials on the
product exterior for an extended period of time.
• Do not use solvents or other chemicals. Do not wipe
with a chemically-treated cleaning cloth.
