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 touch the AC power cord (mains
lead) with wet hands. Doing so may cause
an electric shock.

Do not climb on the Bar Speaker,
Subwoofer and Surround Speakers 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.

AC power cord (mains lead) must be
changed only at a 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 high
volume, the system temperature 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.
