On safety
On the speaker system
is speaker system is not magnetically
shielded, and the picture on nearby TV
sets may become magnetically distorted.
In this situation, turn off the TV, wait
15 to 30 minutes, and turn it back on.
If there is no improvement, move the
speakers far away from the TV.
Completely disconnect the power
cord (mains lead) from the wall socket
(mains) if it is not going to be used
for an extended period of time. When
unplugging the unit, always grip the
plug. Never pull the cord itself.
Should any solid object or liquid get
into the system, unplug the system, and
have it checked by qualified personnel
before operating it again.
Cleaning the cabinet
Clean this system with a soſt cloth
slightly moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Do not use any type of abrasive
pad, scouring powder, or solvent, such as
thinner, benzine, or alcohol.
e AC power cord can be changed
only by a qualified service facility.
On placement
Do not place the system in an inclined
position or in locations that are
extremely hot, cold, dusty, dirty, or
humid or lacking adequate ventilation,
or subject to vibration, direct sunlight
or a bright light.
Be careful when placing the unit
or speakers on surfaces that have
been specially treated (for example,
with wax, oil, polish) as staining or
discoloration of the surface may result.
If the system is brought directly
from a cold to a warm location or is
placed in a very damp room, moisture
may condense on the lens inside the
CD player, and cause the system to
malfunction. In this situation, remove
the disc, and leave the system turned
on for about an hour until the moisture
evaporates.
On heat buildup
Heat buildup on the unit during
operation is normal and is not cause
for alarm.
Do not touch the cabinet if it has been
used continuously at a high volume
because the cabinet may have become
hot.
Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.
