Precautions
• Connect this unit’s power cord only to an AC outlet of the
type stated in this Owner’s Manual or as marked on the unit.
Failure to do so is a fire and electrical shock hazard.
• Do not allow water to enter this unit or allow the unit to
become wet. Fire or electrical shock may result.
• Do not place heavy objects, including this unit, on top of
the power cord. A damaged power cord is a fire and
electrical shock hazard. In particular, be careful not to place
heavy objects on a power cord covered by a carpet.
• Do not place a container with liquid or small metal objects
on top of this unit. Liquid or metal objects inside this unit
are a fire and electrical shock hazard.
• Do not scratch, bend, twist, pull, or heat the power cord. A
damaged power cord is a fire and electrical shock hazard.
• If lightning begins to occur, turn off the power switch of the
unit as soon as possible, and unplug the power cord plug
from the electrical outlet.
• If there is a possibility of lightning, do not touch the power
cable plug if it is still connected. Doing so may be an
electrical shock hazard.
• Do not modify the unit. Doing so is a fire and electrical
shock hazard.
• Do not remove the unit’s cover. You could receive an
electrical shock. If you think internal inspection, mainte-
nance, or repair is necessary, contact your dealer.
• If the power cord is damaged (i.e., cut or a bare wire is
exposed), ask your dealer for a replacement. Using the unit
with a damaged power cord is a fire and electrical shock
hazard.
• If you notice any abnormality, such as smoke, odor, or
noise, or if a foreign object or liquid gets inside the unit,
turn it off immediately. Remove the power cord from the AC
outlet. Consult your dealer for repair. Using the unit in this
condition is a fire and electrical shock hazard.
• Should this unit be dropped or the cabinet be damaged,
turn the power switch off, remove the power plug from the
AC outlet, and contact your dealer. If you continue using the
unit without heeding this instruction, fire or electrical shock
may result.
• Keep this unit away from the following locations:
- Locations exposed to oil splashes or steam, such as near
cooking stoves, humidifiers, etc.
- Unstable surfaces, such as a wobbly table or slope.
- Locations exposed to excessive heat, such as inside a car
with all the windows closed, or places that receive direct
sunlight.
- Locations subject to excessive humidity or dust accumu-
lation.
• Do not place the power cord close to a heater. It may melt,
causing fire or electrical shock.
• Hold the power cord plug when disconnecting it from an
AC outlet. Never pull the cord. A damaged power cord is a
potential fire and electrical shock hazard.
• Do not touch the power plug with wet hands. Doing so is a
potential electrical shock hazard.
• To relocate the unit, turn the power switch off, remove the
power plug from the AC outlet, and remove all connecting
cables. Damaged cables may cause fire or electrical shock.
• This unit is heavy. Use two or more people to carry it.
• Turn off all musical instruments, audio equipment, and
speakers when connecting to this unit. Use the correct
connecting cables and connect as specified.
• Always lower the volume control to minimum before
turning on the power to this unit. A sudden blast of sound
may damage your hearing.
• Do not output distorted sounds for long periods of time, as
this will cause the speaker to heat up, leading to a fire hazard.
• If you know you will not use this unit for a long period of time,
such as when going on vacation, remove the power plug from
the AC outlet. Leaving it connected is a potential fire hazard.
• To prevent electrical shock when cleaning the unit, remove
the power plug from the AC outlet.
• Magnetic shield type: This speaker is magnetically shielded.
However, if a nearby monitor displays any uneven colors,
place it further away from the monitor.
• Using a mobile telephone near this unit may induce noise. If
noise occurs, use the telephone away from the unit.
• The rubber feet included in this package can be used to
prevent the device from slipping. Attach these feet to the
unit when you use it on a slippery surface.
• You may notice air blowing in and out of the ports on the
device. This is not abnormal. It is more noticeable when you
play a program with an expanded lower range.
• Allow a distance of 5 cm between the unit and the wall so
that heat generated from the unit will be released effectively.
Also, allow enough space between the unit and other
devices. Keep a space of 10 cm on the top and the side. If
heat release is inadequate, the unit will retain heat inside
the unit, which may cause a fire.
