Introduction

 

Precautions

 

Installation

 

• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor 

too cold—between 5°C and 35°C.

• Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to 

prevent internal heat buildup inside the System.

• Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV.
• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference 

with TV.

 

Power sources

 

• When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always 

pull on the plug, not the AC power cord.

 

Moisture condensation

 

Moisture may condense on the lenses inside the System in 
the following cases:
• After starting to heat the room
• In a damp room
• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm 

place

Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case, 
leave the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture 
evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again.

 

Others

 

• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the System, 

unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer before 
operating any further.

• If you are not going to operate the System for an extended 

period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall 
outlet.

If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and 
consult your dealer.
