Precautions
On safety
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into
the cabinet, unplug the amplifier and
have it checked by qualified personnel
before operating it any further.
On power sources
• Before operating the amplifier, check that
the operating voltage is identical with
your local power supply. The operating
voltage is indicated on the nameplate at
the bottom of the amplifier.
• The amplifier is not disconnected from
the AC power source (mains) as long as
it is connected to the wall outlet, even if
the amplifier itself has been turned off.
• If you are not going to use the amplifier
for a long time, be sure to disconnect the
amplifier from the wall outlet. To
disconnect the mains lead, grasp the
plug itself; never pull the cord.
• The AC power cord (mains lead) must be
changed, at a qualified service shop only.
• The mains switch is located on the front
exterior.
On placement
• Do not install the appliance in a confined
space, such as a bookcase or built in
cabinet.
• Place the amplifier in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent heat
buildup and prolong the life of the
amplifier.
• Do not place the amplifier near heat
sources, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical
shock.
• Do not place anything on top of the
cabinet that might block the ventilation
holes and cause malfunctions.
• Do not set the speakers in an inclined
position.
• Do not place the speakers in locations
that are:
– Extremely hot or cold
– Dusty or dirty
– Very humid
– Subject to vibrations
– Subject to direct sunlight
On operation
• Before connecting other components, be
sure to turn off and unplug the amplifier.
• Do not drive the speaker system with a
continuous wattage exceeding the
maximum input power of the system.
• If the polarity of the speaker connections
are not correct, the bass tones will be
weak and the position of the various
instruments obscure.
• Contact between bare speaker wires at
the speaker terminals may result in a
short-circuit.
• The speaker grille cannot be removed.
Do not attempt to remove the grille on
the speaker system. If you try to remove
it, you may damage the speaker.
If you encounter color irregularity on a
nearby TV screen
This speaker system is magnetically
shielded to allow it to be installed near a
TV set. However, color irregularities may
still be observed on certain types of TV
sets.
If color irregularity is observed…
p Turn off the TV set once, then turn it
on again after 15 to 30 minutes.
If color irregularity is observed again…
p Place the speakers further away from
the TV set.
If howling occurs
Reposition the speakers or turn down the
volume on the amplifier.
On cleaning
• Clean the cabinet, panel and controls
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 alcohol or
