nor leave them in a car parked in direct
sunlight.

US
• • If the system is brought directly from
a cold to a warm location or is placed
in a very damp room, moisture may
condense on the lens inside the unit,
and cause the system to malfunction.
In this situation, remove the disc, and
leave the system turned on for about an
hour until the moisture evaporates.
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 the speaker system
The built-in speaker system is not
magnetically shielded, and the picture on
nearby TV sets may become magnetically
distorted. In this situation, turn off the
TV, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and turn it back
on. If there is no improvement, move the
system far away from the TV.
Cleaning the cabinet
Clean this system 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.
On BLUETOOTH communication
BLUETOOTH devices should be used
• •
within approximately 10 meters (33 feet)
(unobstructed distance) of each
other. The effective communication
range may become shorter under the
following conditions.
— When a person, metal object, wall
or other obstruction is between
the devices with a BLUETOOTH
connection
— Locations where a wireless LAN is
installed
— Around microwave ovens that are
in use
— Locations where other
electromagnetic waves are
generated
