Précautions

• N’empilez pas la barre de son ou le caisson de graves et un lecteur de disques Blu-ray (BD) ou un autre appareil directement les uns sur les autres. Un mauvais fonctionnement pourrait être provoqué par les vibrations.

• Ne tenez pas la partie enceinte (pièce de tissu) par l’avant du caisson de graves pour le déplacer.

• La barre de son dispose d’enceintes à blindage non magnétique. Veillez à ne placer aucun objet sensible aux champs magnétiques (disques durs, par exemple) à proximité de la barre de son.

• Selon l’environnement, il peut être préférable de raccorder la barre de son et les appareils externes (tels qu’un téléviseur) avant d’installer la barre de son.

• Ne placez pas la barre de son à moins de 50 mm du téléviseur.

• Le caisson de graves et la barre de son communiquent sans fil. Entre le caisson de graves et la barre de son, ne placez pas des objets qui bloquent les signaux sans fil, tels que des meubles et des appareils métalliques, car cela pourrait affecter la communication sans fil.

• Si le caisson de graves est recouvert par un tissu ou un autre objet, le volume sonore est réduit. Installez le caisson de graves de façon à ce qu’il ne soit pas caché derrière un épais rideau, etc.

Précautions

• Si la barre de son doit être fixée à un mur, veillez à confier ce travail à une personne qualifiée ou à votre revendeur. Le client ne doit jamais essayer d’effectuer ce travail lui-même. Si l’installation n’est pas correcte ou si elle n’est pas adaptée, la barre de son risque en effet de tomber et des personnes peuvent être blessées.

• Ne tentez pas d’installer la barre de son sur un mur peu solide, notamment en plâtre ou en bois plaqué. La barre de son pourrait tomber.

• Assurez-vous d’utiliser des vis pouvant supporter le poids de l’installation (spécifié à l’étape 2 ci-contre). La barre de son risque de tomber si vous utilisez des éléments de fixation autres que les vis spécifiées, notamment des vis plus courtes, des clous ou du ruban double face.
