Speakers are designed identically so that no left or right 
channel orientation is necessary.
Use only the supplied speakers.
The combination of the main unit and speakers provide 
the best sound. Using other speakers can damage the 
unit and sound quality will be negatively affected.
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the 
system for proper ventilation.
These speakers do not have magnetic shielding. Do 
not place them near televisions, personal computers 
or other devices easily influenced by magnetism.
To avoid damage to the speakers, do not touch the 
speaker cones if you have taken the nets off.
You can damage your speakers and shorten their 
useful life if you play sound at high levels over 
extended periods.
Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid 
damage.
When playing distorted sound.
When adjusting the sound quality.
When turning the unit on or off.


CAUTION
Use the speakers only with the recommended 
system. Failure to do so can damage the 
amplifier and speakers, and can cause fire. 
Consult a qualified service person if damage 
occurs or if a sudden change in performance is 
apparent.
Do not attach these speakers to walls or ceilings.
Placement of speakers
Note
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.
Place it at least 15 cm away from wall surfaces to avoid 
distortion and unwanted acoustical effects.
Do not place heavy items on the unit.
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 
place where DC is used.
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.
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 AC mains 
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.
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.
