electric shocks.

• Use this unit with the power supply voltage printed on
it. Failure to connect to an appropriate AC outlet may
cause a fire, electric shocks, or malfunctions.

• Be sure to use the supplied power cord. Failure to
observe the above may cause a fire, burns, or
malfunctions.

• Do not use the supplied power cord for other units.
Failure to observe the above may cause a fire, burns,
or malfunctions.

• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any
dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it. Failure
to observe this may cause a fire or electric shocks.

• When setting up the unit, make sure that the AC outlet
you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or
malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power
switch and disconnect the plug from the AC outlet.
Even when the power switch is turned off, as long as
the power cord is not unplugged from the wall AC
outlet, the unit will not be disconnected from the
power source.

• If not using the unit for long periods of time, be sure to
pull the power plug from the AC outlet. Failure to

battery to high temperatures, such as direct sunlight
or a fire. Doing so may result in the battery bursting,
causing a fire or injury.

• Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not
intended to be charged. Charging could cause the
battery to burst or leak, which can cause blindness,
chemical burns, or injury.

• If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked
fluid. If the battery fluid should come in contact with
your eyes, mouth, or skin, wash immediately with
water and consult a doctor. Battery fluid is corrosive
and may possibly cause loss of sight or chemical
burns.

loosely when inserted. Failure to observe this may
cause a fire, electric shocks, or burns.

• When disconnecting the power plug, always hold the
plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can
damage it and cause electric shocks or a fire.

• Insert the power plug firmly all the way into the AC
outlet. Using the unit when it is not plugged in
sufficiently can cause dust to accumulate on the plug,
causing a fire or burns.

Installation

• Do not place the unit in an unstable position where it
might accidentally drop or fall over and cause injuries.

• When installing this unit, do not obstruct heat
dissipation.

on top, 20 cm (7-7/8 in) on the sides, and 20 cm (7-7/8 in)
on the rear.

• Do not install the unit in places where it may come into
contact with corrosive gases or salt air or places that
have excessive smoke or steam. Doing so may result
in malfunction.

• Avoid being near the unit during a disaster, such as
an earthquake. Since the unit may turn over or fall and
cause injury, quickly move away from the unit and go
to a safe place.

• When transporting or moving the unit always use two
or more people. Attempting to lift the unit by yourself
may damage your back, result in other injury, or cause
damage to the unit itself.

•

Before moving this unit, be sure to turn off the power
switch and disconnect all connection cables.
observe this may damage the cables or cause you or
someone else to trip and fall.

Failure to

Hearing loss

• Do not use the unit for a long period of time at a high
or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause
permanent hearing loss. If you experience any
hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a
physician.

• Before connecting the unit to other devices, turn off
the power for all devices. Also, before turning the
power of all devices on or off, make sure that all
volume levels are set to the minimum. Failing to do so
may result in hearing loss, electric shock, or device
damage.

• When turning on the AC power in your audio system,
always turn on the unit LAST, to avoid hearing loss
and speaker damage. When turning the power off, the
unit should be turned off FIRST for the same reason.
Failure to observe the above may cause hearing
impairment or speaker damage.

Maintenance

• Remove the power plug from the AC outlet before
cleaning the unit. Failure to observe this may cause
electric shocks.

Battery use

• Do not use batteries other than specified batteries.
Doing so may cause fire or burns, or result in fluid
leakage that may cause skin inflammation.

• Do not use new batteries together with old ones.
Using new ones with old ones could cause a fire,
burns, or inflammation due to fluid leaks.

• Do not mix battery types, such as alkaline batteries
with manganese batteries, or batteries from different
makers, or different types of batteries from the same
maker, since this can cause a fire, burns, or
inflammation due to fluid leaks.

• Keep batteries away from children. A child could
accidentally swallow a battery. Failure to observe this
may also cause inflammation due to battery fluid
leaks.

• Do not put in a pocket or bag, carry, or store batteries
together with pieces of metal. The battery could short,
burst, or leak, causing a fire or injury.

• Always make sure all batteries are inserted in
conformity with the +/− polarity markings. Failure to
do so might result in a fire, burns, or inflammation due
to fluid leaks.

• When the batteries run out, or if the unit is not to be
used for a long time, remove the batteries from the
remote control to prevent possible leakage of the
battery fluid.

• When storing or discarding batteries, insulate the
terminal area by applying tape, or some other
protection. Mixing them with other batteries or metal
objects can cause a fire, burns, or inflammation due
to fluid.

observe these precautions may cause the unit’s panel
to become deformed, the internal components to
malfunction, or the operation of the unit to become
unstable.

Connections

• If connecting external units, be sure to thoroughly
read the manual for each unit and connect them in
accordance with the instructions.
Failure to properly handle a unit in accordance with
the instructions could cause malfunctions.

Handling

• Do not place vinyl, plastic, or rubber products on this
unit. Failure to observe this may cause discoloration
or deformation in the panel of this unit.

• If the ambient temperature changes drastically (such
as during unit transportation or under rapid heating or
cooling) and there is a chance condensation may
have formed in the unit, leave the unit for several
hours without turning on the power until it is
completely dry before use. Using the unit while there
is condensation can cause malfunctions.

Maintenance

• If the temperature or humidity changes drastically,
water droplets (condensation) may form on the unit
surface. If water droplets form, immediately wipe
them off with a soft cloth. If water droplets are left on
the unit, they may be absorbed into the wooden parts,
causing deformation.

• When cleaning the unit, use a dry, soft cloth. Using
chemicals such as benzine or thinner, cleaning
agents, or chemical scrubbing cloths can cause
discoloration or deformation.
