When Installing the Unit
Do not expose the unit to rain or an environment
where it may be splashed by water or other liquids,
as doing so may result in fire or electric shock.
Use the unit only with the voltage specified on the
unit. Using a voltage higher than that which is
specified may result in fire or electric shock.
Do not cut, kink, otherwise damage nor modify the
power supply cord. In addition, avoid using the
power cord in close proximity to heaters, and never
place heavy objects -- including the unit itself -- on
the power cord, as doing so may result in fire or
electric shock.
Be sure to replace the unit's terminal cover after
connection completion. Because high voltage is
applied to the speaker terminals, never touch these
terminals to avoid electric shock.
Be sure to ground to the safety ground (earth)
terminal to avoid electric shock. Never ground to a
gas pipe as a catastrophic disaster may result.
Avoid installing or mounting the unit in unstable
locations, such as on a rickety table or a slanted
surface. Doing so may result in the unit falling
down, causing personal injury and/or property
damage.
When the Unit is in Use

use, immediately switch off the power, disconnect
the power supply plug from the AC outlet and
contact your nearest sound choice dealer. Make
no further attempt to operate the unit in this condition
as this may cause fire or electric shock.
If you detect smoke or a strange smell coming

If water or any metallic object gets into the unit
If the unit falls, or the unit case breaks
If the power supply cord is damaged (exposure of
the core, disconnection, etc.)
If it is malfunctioning (no tone sounds.)
To prevent a fire or electric shock, never open nor
remove the unit case as there are high voltage
components inside the unit. Refer all servicing to
your nearest sound choice dealer.
Do not place cups, bowls, or other containers of
liquid or metallic objects on top of the unit. If they
accidentally spill into the unit, this may cause a fire
or electric shock.
Do not insert nor drop metallic objects or
flammable materials in the ventilation slots of the
unit's cover, as this may result in fire or electric
shock.
