When using an AC adaptor or a stereo mini plug cable

When you use an AC adaptor or a stereo mini plug cable (not supplied), make 
sure that a core filter is attached to the DC cord end/the stereo mini plug cable 
end to reduce interference.
If not, attach one of the supplied core filters (small) as shown in the 
illustration.

Run the cable through the core filter, and wind the cable firmly, twice 
for DC cord end, once for stereo mini plug cable end, inside the cutout of 
the core filter.

 CAUTION

Do not damage the cord by applying excessive force when winding.

Precautions

Install the System on a place which is level, dry, and neither too hot 
nor too cold; between 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F).
Do not use the System in a location near heat sources, or in a place 
subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or vibration.
Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV.
Do not insert any metallic objects or liquids into the System.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If anything goes wrong, 
disconnect the USB cable (or AC adaptor) and consult your dealer.
Stains on the System should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the 
System is heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water diluted 
neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.
If water gets inside the System, turn the power off and disconnect 
the USB cable (or AC adaptor), then call the store where you 
purchased this System. Using the System in this condition may cause 
a fire or electrical shock.
Since the System may deteriorate in quality, become damaged or get 
its paint peeled off, be careful about the following:

DO NOT wipe it forcefully.
DO NOT wipe it with thinners, benzines or other organic solvents 
including disinfectants.
DO NOT apply any volatile substances such as insecticides to it.
DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact with it for 
a long time.

About the built-in speakers

The speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color distortions on 
TVs. If the color on a TV is distorted, perform the following procedure:

Turn off the TV’s main power switch or unplug it before installing 
the System. Then wait at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV’s 
main power switch again.

Some TVs may still be affected even though you have followed the 
above procedure. If this happens, move the System away from the TV.
