SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Placement
Set the system up on an even surface away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity, and
excessive vibration. These conditions can damage the cabinet and other components, thereby shortening
the service life of the system.
Place it at least 15 cm away from wall surfaces to avoid distortion and unwanted acoustical effects.
Do not place heavy items on the system.
Voltage
Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the system and cause a fire.
Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when setting the system up on a ship or other
place where DC is used.
AC mains lead protection
Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not damaged. Poor connection and lead damage
can cause fire or electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or place heavy items on the lead.
Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the AC mains lead can cause electric shock.
Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric shock.
Foreign matter
Do not let metal objects fall inside the system. This can cause electric shock or malfunction.
Do not let liquids get into the system. This can cause electric shock or malfunction. If this occurs,
immediately disconnect the system from the power supply and contact your dealer.
Do not spray insecticides onto or into the system. They contain flammable gases which can ignite if
sprayed into the system.
Service
Do not attempt to repair this system by yourself. If sound is interrupted, indicators fail to light, smoke
appears, or any other problem that is not covered in these instructions occurs, disconnect the AC mains
lead and contact your dealer or an authorised service centre. Electric shock or damage to the system can
occur if the system is repaired, disassembled or reconstructed by unqualified persons.
Extend operating life by disconnecting the system from the power source if it is not to be used for a long
time.
