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.

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 
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.
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.
