Precautions

On safety

•  Before operating the system, be sure that the operating 

voltage of the system is identical with that of your local 
power supply.

•  Unplug the system from the mains if it is not to be used for 

an extended period of time. To disconnect the mains lead, 
pull the mains lead by grasping the plug. Never pull the 
mains lead itself.

•  Should any liquid or solid object fall into the system, 

unplug the system’s mains lead and have the system 
checked by qualified personnel before operating it any 
further.

•  Mains lead must be changed only at the qualified service 

shop.

On operation

•  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.

•  Before connecting, turn off the amplifier (subwoofer) to 

avoid damaging the speaker system.

•  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.

•  The volume level should not be turned up to the point of 

distortion. 

On placement

•  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
•  Use caution when placing the speaker on a specially 

treated (waxed, oiled, polished, etc.) floor, as staining or 
discoloration may result.

On cleaning

Clean the speaker cabinets with a soft cloth lightly moistened 
with a mild detergent solution or water. Do not use any type 
of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol 
or benzine.
