Safety Precautions; Placement Of Speakers - Panasonic SC-NS55 Operating Instructions Manual

Safety precautions

Placement
Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct
sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity, and excessive
vibration. These conditions can damage the cabinet and
other components, thereby shortening the unit's service life.
Place it at least 15 cm away from wall surfaces to avoid
distortion and unwanted acoustical effects.
Do not place heavy items on the unit.
Voltage
Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload
the unit and cause a fi re.
Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully
when setting the unit up on a ship or other place where DC
is used.
AC mains lead protection
Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not
damaged. Poor connection and lead damage can cause fi re
or electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or place heavy items on
the lead.
Grasp the plug fi rmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the
AC mains lead can cause electric shock.
Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause
electric shock.
Foreign matter
Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can cause
electric shock or malfunction.
Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric
shock or malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect
the unit from the power supply and contact your dealer.
Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain
fl ammable gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.
Service
Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is
interrupted, indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any
other problem that is not covered in these instructions occurs,
disconnect the AC mains lead and contact your dealer or
an authorized service center. Electric shock or damage to
the unit can occur if the unit is repaired, disassembled or
reconstructed by unqualifi ed persons.
Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the
power source if it is not to be used for a long time.

Placement of speakers

Speakers are designed identically so that no left or right
channel orientation is necessary.
Use only the supplied speakers.
The combination of the main unit and speakers provide the
best sound. Using other speakers can damage the unit and
sound quality will be negatively affected.
Note
• Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for
proper ventilation.
• These speakers do not have magnetic shielding. Do not place
them near televisions, personal computers or other devices easily
infl uenced by magnetism.
• You cannot take the front net off the speakers.
Caution
• Use the speakers only with the recommended
system. Failure to do so can damage the amplifi er
and speakers, and can cause fi re. Consult a qualifi ed
service person if damage occurs or if a sudden
change in performance is apparent.
• Do not attach these speakers to walls or ceilings.
