On power sources

• Before operating tile system, check that the operating voltage is identical to your local power supply The

operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate at the rear of the active subwool\:r

• If you are not going to use the system for a long time_ be sure todisconnect the system from the wall outlet

(m fins).To disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp Ihe plug itself: never pull the cord.

• One blade of the plug is wider than the other lbr the purpose of safety and will fit into the wall outlet

(mains) only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer.

• AC power cord Imains lead) must be changed only at the qualified service shop.

• Install this system so that the power cord can be unplugged from the wall socket immediately in the event of trouble.

On heat buildup

Although Ihe system heats up during operation, this is not a malfunction. If you continuously use this system

at a large volume, the system temperature of the back and bottom rises considerably To avoid burning

mechanical shock

• [)(5 not place anything under the speakers that might block the ventilation holes and cause malfunctions

• [)(5not place the sy stem near equipment such as a TV VCR, or tape deck (lf tile system is being used in

combination with a TV, VCR, or tape deck, and is placed too close to that eqtfipment, noise may result,

and picture quality may suffer. This is especially likely when using an indoor antenna. Therefore, we

recommend using all outdoor antenna.)

etc.) transmitted t?om an HDMI jack may be suppressed by the connected component.

• Sound may be interrupted when the sampling

t?equency or the mnnber of channels of audio output signals from the playback component is switched.

• When tlle connected component is not

compatible with copyright protection technology (HDCP). the image and/or the

sound from the HDMI TV OUT jack may be distorted or may be not output.

In this case, check tl_e specification of the
