Precautions
On safety
• Before operating the system, be sure that the
operating voltage of the system is identical with
that of your local power supply.
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the
wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned
off.
• Unplug the system from the wall outlet if it is not
to be used for an extended period of time. To
disconnect the cord, pull the cord by grasping the
plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Should any liquid or solid object fall into the
system, unplug the system’s power cord and have
the system checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
• AC power cord must be changed only at the
qualified service shop.
On operation
• Do not drive the speaker system with a
continuous wattage exceeding the maximum
input power of the system.
• If the polarity of the speaker connections are not
correct, the bass tones will be weak and the
position of the various instruments obscure.
• Contact between bare speaker wires at the speaker
terminals may result in a short-circuit.
• Before connecting, turn off the amplifier to avoid
damaging the speaker system.
• The speaker grille cannot be removed. Do not
attempt to remove the grille on the speaker
system. If you try to remove it, you may damage
the speaker.
If you encounter color irregularity on a
nearby TV screen
This speaker system is magnetically shielded to
allow it to be installed near a TV set. However,
color irregularities may still be observed on certain
types of TV sets.
If color irregularity is observed...
c Turn off the TV set once, then turn it on again
after 15 to 30 minutes.
If color irregularity is observed again...
c Place the speakers further away from the TV
set.
If howling occurs
Reposition the speakers or turn down the volume
on the amplifier.
