Introduction

Notes on handling

Important cautions

Installation of the System

Select a place which is level, dry, and neither too hot nor too cold; between

5°C and 35°C.

Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV.

Do not use the System in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to

direct sunlight, excessive dust, or vibration.

Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal

heat buildup.

Power cord

Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

A small amount of power is always consumed while the power cord is

connected to the wall outlet.

Do not pull on the cord to unplug the power cord. When unplugging the

power cord, always grasp and pull the plug so as not to damage the cord.

To prevent malfunctions of the System

There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If anything goes wrong, unplug

the power cord and consult your dealer.

Do not insert any metallic objects or liquids into the System.

Safety precautions

Avoid moisture, water, and dust

Do not place the System in moist or dusty places.

Avoid high temperatures

Do not expose the System to direct sunlight and do not place it near any

heating devices.

When you are away

When away on holiday or for other reasons for an extended period of time,

disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.

Do not block the vents

Care of the cabinet

Stains on the System should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the System

is heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water diluted neutral

detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.

Since the System may deteriorate in quality, become damaged or get its

paint peeled off, be careful about the following:

DO NOT wipe it forcefully.

DO NOT wipe it with thinners, benzines or other organic solvents including

disinfectants.

DO NOT apply any volatile substances such as insecticides to it.

DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact with it for a long

time.

Do not place anything on top of the System. Doing so may cause the System

to fall, causing malfunctioning and/or injury.

The manufacturer accepts absolutely no liability for any accidents or damage

resulting from inadequate assembly or mounting, insufficient strength of

attachment, misuse or abuse, or natural disasters.

If water gets inside the System

Turn the System off and disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet,

then call the store where you purchased this System. Using the System in this

condition may cause a fire or electrical shock.
