Precautions

Warning

• Connect this unit's power cord only to an AC outlet of
the type stated in this Owner's Manual or as marked on
the unit. Failure to do so is a fire and electrical shock
hazard.

• Do not allow water to enter this unit or allow the unit to
become wet. Fire or electrical shock may result.

• Do not place heavy objects, including this unit, on top
of the power cord. A damaged power cord is a fire and
electrical shock hazard. In particular, be careful not to
place heavy objects on a power cord covered by a carpet.

• Do not insert or drop metal or flammable objects into
the port of this unit. Fire or electrical shock may result.

• Do not place a container with liquid or small metal
objects on top of this unit. Liquid or metal objects
inside this unit are a fire and electrical shock hazard.

• Do not scratch, bend, twist, pull, or heat the power
cord. A damaged power cord is a fire and electrical
shock hazard.

• Do not modify the unit. Doing so is a fire and electrical
shock hazard.

• If lightning begins to occur, turn off the power switch of
the unit as soon as possible, and unplug the power cable
plug from the electrical outlet.

• If there is a possibility of lightning, do not touch the
power cable plug if it is still connected. Doing so may be
an electrical shock hazard.

• Do not remove the unit’s cover. You could receive an
electrical shock. If you think internal inspection, main­tenance, or repair is necessary, contact your dealer.

• If the power cord is damaged (i.e., cut or a bare wire is
exposed), ask your dealer for a replacement. Using the
unit with a damaged power cord is a fire and electrical
shock hazard.

• If you notice any abnormality, such as smoke, odor, or
noise, or if a foreign object or liquid gets inside the unit,
turn it off immediately. Remove the power cord from the
AC outlet. Consult your dealer for repair. Using the unit
in this condition is a fire and electrical shock hazard.

• Should this unit be dropped or the cabinet be damaged,
turn the power switch off, remove the power plug from
the AC outlet, and contact your dealer. If you continue
using the unit without heeding this instruction, fire or
electrical shock may result.

Cautions

• Keep this unit away from the following locations:
– Locations exposed to oil splashes or steam, such as

near cooking stoves, humidifiers, etc.
– Unstable surfaces, such as a wobbly table or slope.
– Locations exposed to excessive heat, such as inside a

car with all the windows closed, or places that receive

direct sunlight.
– Locations subject to excessive humidity or dust accu-

mulation.

• Do not place the power cord close to a heater. It may
melt, causing fire or electrical shock.

• Hold the power cord plug when disconnecting it from
an AC outlet. Never pull the cord. A damaged power
cord is a potential fire and electrical shock hazard.

• Do not touch the power plug with wet hands. Doing so
is a potential electrical shock hazard.

• When rack-mounting the unit, allow enough free space
around the unit for normal ventilation. This should be:
10 cm at the sides, 20 cm behind, and 30 cm above.
For normal ventilation during use, remove the rear of
the rack or open a ventilation hole.
If the airflow is not adequate, the unit will heat up
inside and may cause a fire.

• A speaker system placed on top of a table may move
gradually due to vibration and may eventually fall off
the table, causing damage or injury. In such an installa­tion, fix the speaker system to the table and check it
occasionally.

3

• To relocate the unit, turn the power switch off, remove
the power plug from the AC outlet, and remove all con­necting cables. Damaged cables may cause fire or elec­trical shock.

• Turn off all musical instruments, and audio equipment
when connecting to this unit. Use the correct connect­ing cables and connect as specified.

• Always lower the volume control to minimum before
turning on the power to this unit. A sudden blast of
sound may damage your hearing.

• Do not output distorted sounds for long periods of
time, as this will cause the speaker to heat up, leading to
a fire hazard.

• Do not raise the volume of speakers to a level that
makes you feel uncomfortable. Listening to loud music
for long periods can damage your hearing.

• If you know you will not use this unit for a long period
of time, such as when going on vacation, remove the
power plug from the AC outlet. Leaving it connected is a
potential fire hazard.

• To prevent electrical shock when cleaning the unit,
remove the power plug from the AC outlet.

• XLR-type connectors are wired as follows: pin 1:
ground, pin 2: hot (+), and pin 3: cold (–).

• This speaker is magnetically shielded. However, if a
nearby monitor displays any uneven colors, place it fur­ther away from the monitor.

• Using a mobile telephone near this unit may induce
noise. If noise occurs, use the telephone away from the
unit.

données dans ce manuel ou sur l’appareil, faute de quoi,
il y a risque d’incendie.

• Evitez de mouiller l’appareil ou de laisser pénétrer de
l’eau dans son boîtier. Il y a risque d’incendie ou d’élec­trocution.

• Ne posez pas d’objets pesants (à commencer par l’appa­reil lui-même) sur le cordon d’alimentation. Un cordon
d’alimentation endommagé peut provoquer un incen­die ou une électrocution. Cette précaution est notam­ment valable lorsque le cordon d’alimentation passe
sous un tapis.

• N’insérez pas d’objets métalliques ou inflammables
dans les orifices d’aération l’entrée de cet appareil. Il y a
risque d’incendie ou d’électrocution.

• Ne posez pas de récipient contenant des liquides ou de
petits objets métalliques sur l’appareil. Si un liquide ou
des objets métalliques pénètrent dans l’appareil, il y a
risque d’incendie ou d’électrocution.

• Evitez de griffer, tordre, plier, tirer ou chauffer le cordon
d’alimentation. Un cordon d’alimentation endommagé
constitue un risque d’incendie ou d’électrocution.

• N’ouvrez jamais le boîtier de cet appareil. Il y a risque
d’électrocution. Si vous pensez que l’appareil doit subir
une révision, un entretien ou une réparation, veuillez
contacter votre revendeur.

• Cet appareil ne peut pas être modifié par l’utilisateur. Il
y a risque d’incendie ou d’électrocution.

• En cas d’orage, veillez à mettre l’unité hors tension dès
que possible et à débrancher le cordon d’alimentation
de la prise murale.

• En cas d’orage avec des risques de foudre, évitez tout
contact avec le cordon d’alimentation si ce dernier est
toujours connecté à une prise murale. Vous éviterez
ainsi une électrocution.

• Si le cordon d’alimentation est endommagé (s’il est
coupé ou si un fil est à nu), veuillez en demander un
nouveau à votre revendeur. L’utilisation de l’appareil
avec un cordon d’alimentation endommagé constitue
un risque d’incendie ou d’électrocution.
