On safety
 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.

 The 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.

This 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.

Clean this system with a soft 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.
