Notes on handling
Important cautions
Installation of the System
Select a place which is level, dry, and neither too hot nor too cold; between
5°C and 35°C.
Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV.
Do not use the System in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to
direct sunlight, excessive dust, or vibration.
Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent the
internal heat buildup.
The manufacturer accepts absolutely no liability for any accidents or damage
resulting from inadequate assembly or mounting, insufficient strength of
attachment, misuse or abuse, or natural disasters.
Power cord
Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
A small amount of power is always consumed while the power cord is
connected to the wall outlet.
Do not pull on the cord to unplug the power cord. When unplugging the
power cord, always grasp and pull the plug so as not to damage the cord.
To prevent malfunctions of the System
There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If anything goes wrong, unplug
the power cord and consult your dealer.
Do not insert any metallic objects or liquids into the System.
Do not place anything on top of the System. Doing so may cause the System
to fall, causing malfunctioning and/or injury.
Safety precautions
Avoid moisture, water, and dust
Do not place the System in moist or dusty places.
Avoid high temperatures
Do not expose the System to direct sunlight and do not place it near any
heating devices.
When you are away
When away on holiday or for other reasons for an extended period of time,
disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
Do not block the vents
Blocking the vents may damage the System.
Care of the cabinet
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.
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.

If water gets inside the System
Turn the System off and disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet,
then call the store where you purchased this System. Using the System in this
condition may cause a fire or electrical shock.
Cautions when installing the units on the wall
Use screws which are compatible with the strength and material of the pillar
or wall to prevent the units from falling off.
Do not install the center unit and speaker onto a plywood or plasterboard
wall; otherwise, they will fall and sustain damage.
When installing the center unit and speaker on the wall;
– Be sure to have them installed on the wall by qualified personnel.
– Care must be taken when selecting a location for installation on the wall.
Injury to personnel or damage to equipment may result if the installed
unit interfere with daily activities.
– AC adaptor should not be hanging/put above of any other items. It is
acceptable to place the AC adaptor on the flat floor only.
Using the core filter
Attach the provided core filters to the power cord and the external components
cord, then the core filters reduce interference.
1
Release the stopper of the core filter.
2
Run the cord through the core filter, and wind the cord firmly once
