technical regulations.
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there
is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
CAUTION
You are cautioned that any changes or modifications
not expressly approved in this manual could void your
authority to operate this equipment.
Precautions
On safety
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the system,
unplug the system and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
• Do not climb on the subwoofer, as you may fall down
and injure yourself, or system damage may result.
On power sources
• Before operating the 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 subwoofer.
• If you are not going to use the system for a long time,
be sure to disconnect the system from the wall outlet
(mains). To disconnect the AC power cord (mains
lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.
• One blade of the plug is wider than the other for 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 (mains lead) must be changed only at
the qualified service shop.
On heat buildup
Although the 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
yourself, do not touch the system.
On placement
• 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 near heat sources, or in a
place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or
mechanical shock.
• Do not place anything at the rear of the subwoofer that
might block the ventilation holes and cause
malfunctions.
• Do not place the syst em near equipment such as a TV,
VCR, or tape deck. (If the system is being used in
combination with a 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 antenna. Therefore, we
recommend using an outdoor antenna.)
• Use caution when placing the system on surfaces that
have been specially treated (wi th wax, oil, polish, etc.)
as staining or discoloration of the surface may result.

If the following precautions are not observed,
serious injury or death through fire or electric
shock, the product toppling over or falling can
result.
Do not drop the products or install them
where there is a possibility of them falling
down.
• Be sure to subcontract installing, moving or
dismounting the products to licensed
contractors and keep small children away
during the procedure.
• Unauthorized installation may result in serious
injury or property damage.
• Having an unauthorized dealer carry or

damage. Make sure that two or more persons
carry or dismount the product(s).
• Do not remove screws, etc., after mounting the
SS-CT350 speaker or SS-CT350 speakerinstalled TV.
• Do not handle the products with excessive
force during cleaning or maintenance.
• If you hang the SS-CT350 speaker or SSCT350 speaker-installed TV on a fragile wall
or a wall whose surface is not flat or
perpendicular, the product(s) may fall and
cause injury or property damage.

Do not lean or hang on the products.
• Do not lean or hang on the products, as they
may fall on you and cause serious injury.
Pay attention to the location.
• Do not install the products on wall surfaces
such as a pillar, where the corners or the sides
of the products protrude away from the wall
surface. If a person or object happens to hit the
