Precautions

On safety

Should any solid object or liquid fall
into the cabinet, 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 and
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 Bar
Speaker and subwoofer.
 If you are not going to use the system
for a long time, be sure to disconnect
the system from the wall outlet. To
disconnect the AC power cord (mains
lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull
the cord.

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 a
large volume, the cabinet temperature
of the top, side and bottom rises
considerably. To avoid burning yourself,
do not touch the cabinet.
On placement

Leave the front of the system open.

Do not place the system on top of a
device that radiates heat.

Place the system in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent heat
build-up in the system.

Do not place the Bar Speaker and
subwoofer on a soft surface (rugs,
blankets, etc.) or place anything at the
rear of the Bar Speaker and subwoofer
that might block the ventilation holes
and cause malfunctions.

Do not install the system near heat
sources such as radiators, air ducts, or
in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, mechanical vibration,
or shock.

Do not install the system in an inclined
position. It is designed to be operated
in a horizontal position only.

Do not place metal objects in front of
the front panel. It may limit reception
of radio waves.

Do not place the system in a place
where medical equipment is in use. It
may cause a malfunction of medical
equipment.

If you use a pacemaker or other
medical device, consult your physician
or the manufacturer of your medical
device before using the wireless LAN
function.
 Use caution when placing the Bar
Speaker and subwoofer on a surface
that has been specially treated (with
wax, oil, polish, etc.), as staining or
discoloration of the surface may
result.
 Take care to avoid any possible injury
from the corners of the Bar Speaker
and subwoofer.

If the system is being used in
combination with a TV, VCR, or tape
deck, noise may result and picture
quality may suffer. In such a case,
place the system away from the TV,
VCR, or tape deck.
