Concerning the remote control
Listening caution Battery installation
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just pur­
chased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to
consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equip­
ment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Associ­
ation’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of
your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound
come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or
distortion—and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive
hearing.
We recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level"
adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal" can
actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE
your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and
clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
• Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage
or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

Correct method of use
Speakers are designed identically so that no left or right channel
orientation is necessary.
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (’^/ 32 ") 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
influenced by magnetism.
To avoid damage to the speakers, do not touch the speakers
cones if you have taken the nets off.
Do not place obstacles between the remote control signal sensor
and remote control unit.
Do not expose the remote control signal sensor to direct sunlight
or to the bright light of a fluorescent light.
Take care to keep the remote control signal sensor and end of the
remote control unit free from dust.
If this system is installed in a rack with glass doors, the glass
doors’ thickness or color might make it necessary to use the remote
control a shorter distance from the system.
To prevent damage
Never place heavy items on top of the unit.
Do not disassemble or reconstruct the unit.
Do not spill water or other liquids into the unit.
