Dear customer

Thank you for purchasing this product. For optimum performance 
and safety, please read these instructions carefully.

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. 

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 places 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.

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.

These operating instructions are applicable to models for 

a variety of regions.

operating

 

instructions are of the model for Australia and 

N.Z.

Operations in these instructions are described mainly 

with the remote control, but you can perform the 
operations on the main unit if the controls are the same.
