Precautions

 To disconnect the AC adaptor, pull it out by the plug,

not the cord.

 Although this system is magnetically shielded, do not

leave recorded tapes, watches, personal credit cards, or

floppy disks with magnetic coding in front of the system

for an extended period of time.

 Do not leave the system in a location near heat sources,

or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust,

moisture, rain or mechanical shock.

 Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat

build-up. Do not place the system on a surface (a rug, a

blanket, etc.) or near materials (a curtain) which might

block the ventilation holes.

 Do not insert any small objects, etc., into the jacks or

ventilation hole on the rear of the system. The system

may short out or malfunction.

 When installing, do not cover the ventilation hole on

the rear of the system. Sound quality may be altered.

 Should any solid object or liquid fall into the system,

unplug the system and have it checked by qualified

personnel before operating it any further.

 Do not handle the system with wet hands.

 Do not place the system anywhere near water.

If the TV picture or monitor display is

magnetically distorted

Although this system is magnetically shielded, there may

be cases that the picture on some TV sets/personal

computers may become magnetically distorted. In such a

case, turn off the power of the TV set/personal computer

once, and after 15 to 30 minutes turn it on again. In the

case of a personal computer, take appropriate measures

such as data storage before turning it off.

If no improvement is apparent, locate the system farther

away from the TV set/personal computer. Furthermore, be

sure not to place objects in which magnets are attached or

used, such as audio racks, TV stands, toys, etc., near the

TV set/personal computer. These may cause magnetic

distortion to the picture due to magnetic interaction.

NOTES ON LITHIUM BATTERY

 Wipe the battery with a dry cloth to assure a good

contact.

 Be sure to observe the correct polarity when installing

the battery.

 Do not hold the battery with metallic tweezers,

otherwise a short-circuit may occur.

Note
 In the Reference Guide, “iPod” is used as a general

reference to functions on an iPod or iPhone, unless
