Precautions
On safety
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into
the speaker system, unplug the speaker
system and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
• Do not climb on the speaker system, as
you may fall down and injure yourself, or
speaker system damage may result.
On power sources
• Before operating the speaker system,
check that the operating voltage is
identical to your local power supply. The
operating voltage is indicated on the
nameplate on the bottom of the bar
speaker.
• If you are not going to use the speaker
system for a long time, be sure to
disconnect the speaker 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 a qualified service shop.
On heat buildup
Although the speaker system heats up
during operation, this is not a malfunction.
If you continuously use this speaker system
at high volume, the speaker system
temperature at the rear and bottom rises
considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do
not touch the speaker system.
On placement
• Do not place the speaker system near
heat sources or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical
shock.
• Do not place anything at the rear of the
speaker system that might block the
ventilation holes and cause malfunctions.
