Caring for the HTC-V10X

■ Caring
Wipe the HTC-V10X occasionally with a dry silica or soft cloth. For heavier dirt, after dampen-
ing a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and water and wringing it out dry, wipe off
the dirt. Then, dry immediately with a clean cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol
or other chemical solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish, remove the panel let-
tering, or cause discoloration. If you are using a chemical cloth, always follow the instructions
that come with the cloth. For dust accumulated on grilles, use a vacuum cleaner or brush it off.
■ Use with a TV set or computer
In general, Braun tubes used for color television sets and computers are extremely sensitive and
can be affected even by the magnetism of the earth. If a speaker system is used near them, there-
fore, discoloration or distortion of pictures will occur. To allow use with a color television set or
computer, this speaker system is provided with magnetic shielding. Even so, discoloration may
still result, depending on the installation environment. If discoloration occurs, turn off the
power of the television set or computer, wait for 15 to 30 minutes and then turn it on again. This
activates the self-demagnetizing function of the television set or computer, improving the dis-
play condition.
Note:
If discoloration persists even after performing this remedy, move the speaker apart from the
television set or computer. Discoloration may also be caused when a magnet or other magnetiz-
ing object exists near the television or computer because of the combined effect.
■ Precaution on use
This system can handle the specified input power when it is used for ordinary music reproduc-
tion. If the following abnormal signals are fed to the unit, however, an overcurrent may flow in
the internal circuits, causing burning or breakage of the wires even if the input power is below
the specified rating.
• Noise produced when FM station is not tuned in
• Sound produced when fast-forwarding cassette tape deck
• High-frequency sound generated by an oscillator, an electronic musical instruments, etc.
• Oscillating amplifier signals
• Special test signals produced by audio checking CD, etc.
• Sound produced when connecting or disconnecting audio connection cables (Always turn off
the amplifier's power before connecting or disconnecting cables.)
• Howling when a microphone is used
