Precautions

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 touch the AC power cord (mains
lead) with wet hands. Doing so may cause
an electric shock.

Do not climb on the Bar Speaker,
Subwoofer and Surround Speakers 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 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 a qualified service shop.
On heat buildup
Although the system heats up during
operation, this is not a malfunction.
If you continuously use this system at high
volume, the system temperature rises
considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do
not touch the system.
