Notes on Operations
Installation

Moisture Condensation

• Install the System in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent internal heat buildup in the
System.
• DO NOT install the System in a location near
heat sources, or in a place subjected to direct
sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.
• Install the System in 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.
• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid
interference with the TV.

Notes on Handling
■ Important cautions
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.
• When unplugging the power cord from the wall
outlet, always grasp the plug, not the power 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 object into the System.
• Do not use any non-standard shape disc (like a
heart, flower or credit card, etc.). It may damage
the System.
• Do not use a disc with tape, stickers, or paste on
it. It may damage the System.
Label sticker

Paste

Note about copyright laws
Check the copyright laws for your country before
recording from discs. Recording of copyrighted
material may infringe copyright laws.

■ Safety precautions
When you are away
When away on travel or for other reasons for an
extended period of time, disconnect the power
cord from the wall outlet.
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 made your purchase. Using the
System in this condition may cause fire or
electrical shock.

Moisture may condense inside the lens on the
System in the following cases:
• After starting to heat the room
• In a damp room
• If the System is brought directly from a cold
place to warm place.
Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In
this case, leave the System turned on for a few
hours before use.

Listener's Etiquette
• When using the headphones, keep the volume
at a moderate level to prevent over-stimulating
your ears.
• When enjoying sound from the speakers, adjust
the volume to a suitable level to avoid disturbing
your neighbors.
Especially at night, close the windows or use the
headphones even though you listen to sound at
a low volume.

About CDs/CD-Rs/CD-RWs
Confirm the marks on CDs/CD-Rs/CD-RWs
Use a CD/CD-R/CD-RW with the

or
logo. The System does not play back
DVDs or Video CDs.
About CD-Rs/CD-RWs
• Use only "finalized" discs.
• You can play back a CD-R/CD-RW which has
been recorded in the audio CD or MP3 format.
– Do not play back any CD-R/CD-RW
recorded in a format other than audio CD
or MP3 format; otherwise, the speakers or
other parts may be damaged by sudden
loud volume.
• The System may not play back some discs
or files due to their characteristics or
recording conditions.
• Before using a CD-R/CD-RW, carefully read
the cautions regarding the disc.

Supplied Accessories
Check to be sure you have all of the supplied
accessories.
The number in parentheses indicates the number
of the pieces supplied. If anything is missing,
contact your dealer immediately.

to be used for a long time. Otherwise it may
cause leakage.
• Dispose of batteries in the proper manner,
according to federal, state, and local regulations.

Remote control operation
• When operating the remote control, point it
toward the remote control sensor on the front
panel.
• The effective distance between the remote
control and the remote control sensor on the
main unit is approximately 5 m.

above.

Stretch out the FM
antenna to the best
position for radio
reception, then fix it
with adhesive tape.

Turn the AM loop antenna to find the
best position for radio reception.
• Place the AM loop antenna as far from the
main unit as possible.
• Do not place the AM loop antenna on a
metallic table or close to TV, personal
computer, etc. It may result in bad radio
reception.

■ When radio reception with the AM loop
antenna is poor
Twist electric wire and
the AM loop antenna
cord together.

terminals. Otherwise it may damage the System.
• Do not connect other speakers together with the
supplied speakers. The change in impedance
may damage the System.

You can detach the speaker grille.

Speaker grille

Left speaker (rear view)

• Improper speaker cord connection spoils the stereo
effect and sound quality.
• The impedance of speakers connected to the
System must be within the range of 4 Ω to 16 Ω.
• A cooling fan is built into the main unit. The internal
cooling fan automatically rotates to dissipate
generated heat. To ensure sufficient cooling, leave
a space of at least 1 cm between the main unit and
the speakers or other objects.
• The supplied speakers are not magnetically
shielded. Keep enough distance between the
speakers and TV so that they do not cause color
irregularity on the TV.

α wave frequency to subtracted waves
(left-right indirect sound).
