SUGGESTIONS FOR SAFETY
Placement
Avoid placing the unit in areas of:
• Direct sunlight
• High temperature
• High humidity
• Excessive vibration
• Uneven surfaces (Place the unit on a flat level surface.)
Such conditions might damage the cabinet and/or other component parts and thereby shorten the unit’s
service life.
To protect the unit against sound distortion and acoustical effects, please place the unit at least 15 cm away
from wall surfaces etc.
Ventilation
• Place the unit in a well-ventilated position at least 10 cm away from wall surfaces etc.
• Ensure that curtains and similar materials do not obstruct the ventilation holes.
Stacking
Never place heavy items on top of the unit or the power cord.
Voltage
• It is very dangerous to use an AC power source of high voltage such as for an air conditioner.
A fire might be caused by such a connection.
• A DC power source can not be used.
Be sure to check the power source carefully, especially if on a ship or other place where DC is used.
Power cord protection
• Avoid cuts, scratches or poor connection of the AC main cord, as this may result in fire or electric
shock.
Excessive bending, pulling or slicing of the cord should also be avoided.
• Do not pull on the cord when you are disconnecting the power, as this could cause an electric shock.
Grasp the plug firmly when you disconnect the power supply.
• Never touch the plug with wet hands or a serious electric shock could result.
Foreign materials
• Ensure that not foreign objects, such as needles, coins, screwdrivers etc., accidentally fall into the unit
or through the ventilation holes.
Otherwise, a serious electric shock or malfunctions could occur.
• Be extremely careful about spilling water or liquid on/into the unit, as a fire or electric shock could
occur. (Disconnect the power plug and contact your dealer immediately if this occurs.)
• Avoid spraying insecticides onto the unit as they contain flammable gases which can be ignited.
• Insecticides, alcohol, paint thinner and similar chemicals should never be used to clean the unit as they
can cause flaking or cloudiness to the cabinet finish.
Service
• Never attempt to repair, disassemble or reconstruct the unit if there seems to be a problem.
A serious electric shock could result if you ignore the precautionary measure.
• If a problem occurs during operation (the sound is interrupted, indicators fail to light up, smoke is
detected, etc.) contact your dealer or Authorized Service Center immediately.
• Disconnect the power supply if the unit will not be used for a long time. Otherwise the operation life
could be shortened.
