Placement
Set the unit up on an even surface away 
from direct sunlight, high temperatures, 
high humidity, and excessive vibration. 
These conditions can damage the cabinet 
and other components, thereby shortening 
the unit’s service life.
Do not place heavy items on the unit.
Voltage
Do not use high voltage power sources. 
This can overload the unit and cause a fire.
Do not use a DC power source. Check 
the source carefully when setting the unit 
up on a ship or other places where DC is 
used.
AC mains lead protection
Ensure the AC mains lead is connected 
correctly and not damaged. Poor 
connection and lead damage can cause 
fire or electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or 
place heavy items on the lead.
Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the 
lead. Pulling the AC mains lead can cause 
electric shock.
Do not handle the plug with wet hands. 
This can cause electric shock.
Foreign matter
Do not let metal objects fall inside the 
unit. This can cause electric shock or 
malfunction.
Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can 
cause electric shock or malfunction. If this 
occurs, immediately disconnect the unit 
from the power supply and contact your 
dealer.
Do not spray insecticides onto or into the 
unit. They contain flammable gases which 
can ignite if sprayed into the unit.
Service
Do not attempt to repair this unit by 
yourself. If sound is interrupted, indicators 
fail to light, smoke appears, or any other 
problem that is not covered in these 
instructions occurs, disconnect the AC 
mains lead and contact your dealer or an 
authorized service center. Electric shock 
or damage to the unit can occur if the unit 
is repaired, disassembled or reconstructed 
by unqualified persons.
Extend operating life by disconnecting the 
unit from the power source if it is not to be 
used for a long time.
 Safety precautions

Change the voltage setting to suit the AC voltage in your 
area. (
