Precautions
• Use caution when placing the system on surfaces that
have been specially treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.)
as staining or discoloration
of
the surface may result.
On
safety
• 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 climb on the active subwoofer, as you may fall
down and injure yourself, or system damage may
result.
On
power
sources
• Before operating the system, check that the operating
voltage is identical to your local power supply. The
operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate at the
rear
of
the active subwoofer.
•
If
you are not going to use the system for a long time,
be sure to disconnect the system from the wall outlet
(mains).
To
disconnect the AC power cord (mains
lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.
• One blade
of
the plug is wider than the other for the
purpose
of
safety and will fit into the wall outlet
(mains) only one way.
If
you are unable to insert the
plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer.
• AC power cord (mains lead) must be changed only at
the qualified service shop.
• Install this system so that the power cord can be
unplugged from the wall socket immediately in the
event
of
trouble.
On
heat
buildup
Although the system heats up during operation, this
is
not a malfunction.
If
you continuously use this system
at a large volume, the system temperature
of
the back
and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning
yourself, do not touch the system.
On
placement
• Place the system
in
a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat buildup and prolong the
life
of
the system.
• Do not place the system near heat sources, or in a
place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust,
or
mechanical shock.
• Do not place anything under the speakers that might
block the ventilation holes and cause malfunctions.
• Do not place the system nearequipment such as a TV,
VCR,
or
tape deck. (If the system
is
being used in
combination with a TV, VCR, or tape deck, and is
placed too close to that equipment, noise may result,
and picture quality may suffer. This is especially
likely when using an indoor antenna. Therefore,
we
recommend using an outdoor antenna.)
