 Le cordon d'alimentation secteur doit être remplacé seulement
dans un centre de service compétent.
Fonctionnement
 Ne pas faire fonctionner le système acoustique
continuellement à une puissance dépassant sa puissance
d' e ntrée maximale.
 Si la polarité des connexions d' e nceintes n' e st pas correcte, les
graves seront faibles et la position des différents instruments
de musique indistincte.
 Avant de raccorder les enceintes, éteignez l'amplificateur pour
éviter d' e ndommager le système acoustique.
 Les grilles des enceintes ne peuvent pas être retirées. N' e ssayez
pas de les enlever car les enceintes pourraient être
endommagées.
 Le volume sonore ne doit pas être élevé au point que le son en
soit déformé.
Emplacement
 N'installez pas les enceintes en position inclinée.
 N'installez pas les enceintes dans des endroits :
— Extrêmement chauds ou froids
— Poussiéreux ou sales
— Très humides
— Sujets à des vibrations
— Exposés à la lumière directe du soleil
 Prenez les précautions nécessaires lors de l'installation des
enceintes sur un plancher traité (ciré, huilé, verni, etc.) pour
éviter l'apparition de taches ou la décoloration du sol.
