Precautions

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 and
subwoofer, 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 Bar Speaker and 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 at the
rear and bottom rises considerably. To
avoid burning yourself, do not touch the
system.
On placement
• Sufficient space around the system is
needed to release heat. When placing the
subwoofer in a rack, leave more than 5 cm
space above the subwoofer, and more
than 5 cm space along the sides of the
subwoofer. The rack behind the
subwoofer should be open. If you place
the subwoofer with its back against the
wall, leave more than 10 cm space
between the subwoofer and the wall.
• Leave the front of the system open.
• Place the system in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent heat
buildup and prolong the life of the
system.
• Do not place the system in locations that
are subject to vibration (for example,
unstable rack, etc.).
• Do not place the subwoofer in a rack that
could interfere with the wireless function
(for example, metal rack, etc.).
• Do not place the system near heat
sources or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical
shock.
• Do not place anything at the rear of the
Bar Speaker and subwoofer that might
block the ventilation holes and cause
malfunctions.
• If the system is used with a TV, VCR, or
tape deck, noise may result and picture
quality may suffer. In this case, place the
system away from the TV, VCR, or tape
deck.
• Use caution when placing the system on a
surface that has been specially treated
(with wax, oil, polish, etc.), as staining or
discoloration of the surface may result.
• Take care to avoid any possible injury
from the corners of the Bar Speaker and
subwoofer.
On handling the subwoofer
Do not place your hand into the slit of the
subwoofer when lifting it. The speaker
driver may be damaged. When lifting it,
hold the bottom of the subwoofer.
