Precautions

On safety
Should any solid object or liquid get into the
unit, unplug the unit, and have it checked by
qualified personnel before operating it again.
On power sources
• Before operating the unit, check that the
operating voltage is identical with your local
power supply.
• Do not plug the AC power cord (mains lead)
for the unit into an electrical outlet until you
have made all other connections. Make sure
the TV or other equipment is unplugged
from the electrical outlet prior to connecting
it to the unit.
• Do not connect the AC power cord (mains
lead) to a voltage transformer or inverter.
Connecting the AC power cord (mains lead)
to a voltage transformer for overseas travel
or an inverter for use in an automobile may
cause heat to build up in the AC adaptor and
may cause burns or a malfunction.
• Do not use an AC adaptor or AC power cord
(mains lead) other than the supplied AC
adaptor and AC power cord (mains lead). Do
not modify the cord.
Plug polarity
• Do not touch the plug of the AC power cord
(mains lead) with wet hands.
• Do not touch the AC power cord (mains
lead), AC adaptor or the unit, if connected to
an electrical outlet, during an electrical
storm.
• Do not place heavy items on the cord.
• Do not place the AC power cord (mains
lead) near heating equipment and do not
expose the cord to heat.
• Completely disconnect the AC power cord
(mains lead) from the wall socket (mains) if
it is not going to be used for an extended
period of time. When unplugging the unit,
always grip the plug. Never pull the cord
itself.
• (USA and Canada model only)
One blade of the plug is wider than the other
for the purpose of safety and will fit into the
wall outlet only one way. If you are unable
to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact
your dealer.
• The AC power cord (mains lead) can be
changed only by a qualified service facility.
On placement
• Do not place the unit in an inclined position
or in locations that are extremely hot, cold,
dusty, dirty, or humid or lacking adequate
ventilation, or subject to vibration, direct
sunlight or a bright light.
• Be careful when placing the unit on surfaces
that have been specially treated (for
example, with wax, oil, polish) as staining or
discoloration of the surface may result.
• Since a strong magnet is used for the
speakers, keep personal credit cards using
magnetic coding or spring-wound watches
away from the unit to prevent possible
damage from the magnet.
On heat buildup
• Heat buildup on the unit during operation is
normal and is not a cause for alarm.
• Do not touch the cabinet if it has been used
continuously at a high volume because the
cabinet may have become hot.
• Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.
On cleaning
Clean this unit with a soft cloth slightly
moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do
not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring
powder, or solvent, such as thinner, benzine,
or alcohol.
