Important Notes on 

 

Placement

 

 

During setup and transport, be careful not to damage the 

vibrating portions (the speaker cone and diaphragm).

 

 

Be sure to place the monitor so that the heat sink on the 

rear panel is not obstructed. Also, make sure the monitor 

does not touch any curtains or other fabrics. 

 

 

The heat sink performs cooling when the monitor is 

placed as shown below. Do not place the monitor on its 

side or upside down.

 

 

When this device is in operation, the heat 

sink located on the rear panel will 

become hot. Take care not to touch them 

with your hands. 

 

Precautions When Connecting 

 

and Turning on the Power

 

 

To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or 
other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off 
the power on all devices before making any connections. 

 

 

Once the connections have been completed, turn on 
power to your various devices in the order specified. By 
turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing 
malfunction and/or damage to speakers and other 
devices.

 

(When turning the power off, reverse this 

procedure.)
