Do not place the device in locations of high
temperature
Do not place this device in locations of high temperature, such as in direct
sunlight or near equipment that produces heat, such as a stove or heater.
Doing so will cause the internal temperature to rise, possibly causing fire.
Do not subject the device to oil spatters or steam
Do not place this device where it might be subjected to oil spatters or
steam. This could cause fire or electrical shock.
Use this device only with an AC outlet of the correct
voltage
You must use this device only with an AC outlet of the correct voltage as
marked on the device itself. Fire or electrical shock may occur if you use
this device with an AC outlet of the wrong voltage.
Do not operate with wet hands
Do not connect or disconnect the power cable while your hands are wet.
You risk electrical shock if you do so.
Handle the plug with caution
When unplugging the cable, be sure to grasp the plug itself. If you unplug
the power cable by pulling the cable itself, you risk damaging the cable,
possibly causing fire or electrical shock.
Do not use “octopus-like” connections
Do not use branching extension cords, power strips, or branching sockets
to create “octopus-like” connections from an AC power outlet. Doing so
may cause fire or electrical shock.
Handle the power cable with caution
Do not allow the power cable to be scarred, damaged, modified, exces-
sively bent, pulled, twisted, or bundled. If heavy objects are placed on the
power cable or if it is subjected to heat, it may be damaged, possibly caus-
ing fire or electrical shock. Please contact your dealer if the power cable
becomes damaged.
Use this device only in the country where you
purchased it
This device is designed for the AC power supply voltage of the country in
which you purchased it; you cannot use it outside the country.

Warnings
If the device emits smoke
Fire or electrocution may occur if you continue to use the device when it is
behaving abnormally, such as emitting smoke or an unusual odor. Immedi-
ately turn off the power switch, disconnect the plug from the AC outlet, and
contact the dealer from whom you purchased the device. Never attempt to
repair the device yourself, since this can be hazardous.
If the device breaks
If you drop the device or if its cabinet is damaged, immediately turn off the
power switch, disconnect the plug from the AC outlet, and contact the
dealer from whom you purchased the device. Fire or electrocution may oc-
cur if you continue using the device in this condition.
If a foreign object enters this device
If a metallic or flammable foreign object should enter the interior of this
device through a jack or other opening, immediately turn off the power
switch, disconnect the plug from the AC outlet, and contact the dealer from
whom you purchased the device. Fire or electrocution may occur if you
continue using the device in this condition.
Do not disassemble or modify the device
Do not open the cabinet of this device. This device contains high-voltage
components, and touching them may produce electrical shock. Contact
your dealer if interior inspection or servicing is required.
Do not modify this device. Doing so may cause fire, electrical shock, or
malfunctions.
Do not place water or chemicals on the device
To avoid the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not place flower vases,
drinks, cosmetics, or containers of chemicals or water on top of this device.
Unplug from the AC outlet if lightning occurs
If lightning occurs nearby, turn off the power switch, disconnect the plug
from the AC outlet, and stop using the device. Lightning can cause fire or
electrical shock.
Do not place the device near flame or heat
Do not allow this device or its power cable to be near heating equipment.
Such a situation poses a risk that the cabinet or the power cable sheathing
may melt, causing fire or electrical shock.
Do not use the device at high volume levels for a
long time
Using the device at high volume levels through speakers for a long time
may cause permanent hearing loss depending on the output volume set-
ting.
Do not place the device in locations of high humidity
Do not use this device in locations of high humidity such as near a bath or
humidifier, or in the rain, or near a body of water. Doing so may cause fire
or electrical shock.
Do not block the cooling vents
Since the rear of this device functions as a cooling vent, you must leave
sufficient space between it and the wall. Blocking the cooling vent will
cause heat to be trapped inside the device, possibly causing fire.
