Precautions

On safety

Should any solid object or liquid fall
into the cabinet, 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 system, as you
may fall down and injure yourself, or
system damage may result.

Do not place anything other than a TV
on the system.
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 system.
 If you are not going to use the system
for a long time, be sure to disconnect
the system from the wall outlet. 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 a
large volume, the cabinet temperature
of the top, side and bottom rises
considerably. To avoid burning yourself,
do not touch the cabinet.
On placement

Leave the front of the system open.

Do not place the system on top of a
device that radiates heat.

Place the system in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent heat
build-up in the system.

Do not place the system on a soft
surface (rugs, blankets, etc.) or place
anything at the rear of the system that
might block the ventilation holes and
cause malfunctions.

Do not install the system near heat
sources such as radiators, air ducts, or
in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, mechanical vibration,
or shock.

Do not install the system in an inclined
position. It is designed to be operated
in a horizontal position only.

from the corners of the system.
