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.
Where purchased
Operating voltage
All countries/regions 100 – 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz
• Use only the supplied AC power adaptor.
On operation
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the system,
have the system checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
• Although this system is magnetically shielded, do not
leave recorded tapes, watches, personal credit cards,
or floppy disks with magnetic coding in front of the
system for an extended period of time.
On placement
• Do not set the system in an inclined position.
• Do not leave the system in a location near heat
sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, moisture, rain or mechanical shock.
On cleaning
Do not use alcohol, benzine, or thinner to clean the
cabinet.
If the TV picture or monitor display is
magnetically distorted
Although this system is magnetically shielded, there
may be cases that the picture on some TV sets/personal
computer sets may become magnetically distorted. In
such a case, turn off the power of the TV set/personal
computer set once, and after 15 to 30 minutes turn
it on again. For the personal computer set, take the
appropriate measures such as data storage before turning
it off.
When there seems to be no improvement, locate the
system further away from the TV set/personal computer
set. Furthermore, be sure not to place objects in which
magnets are attached or used near the TV set/personal
computer set, such as audio racks, TV stands, toys etc.
These may cause magnetic distortion to the picture due
to their interaction with the system.
