Precautions for installation
Warnings, Cautions and Others
To reduce the risk of electrical shocks, fire, etc.:
1. Do not remove screws, covers or cabinet.
2. Do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.
• To prevent deformation or discoloration of the cabinet, do not
install the unit where it is exposed to direct sunlight or high
humidity, and avoid installation near air conditioning outlets.
• Speaker vibrations may cause howling. Place the unit as far
away from the player as possible.
• Take the occurrence of earthquakes or other physical shocks
into consideration when selecting the installation place, and
secure the unit thoroughly.
Caution—POWER switch
This apparatus is provided with the POWER switch to minimize
power consumption for safe use. Therefore,
• Tuner reception may become noisy or hissing if this unit is
installed nearby the tuner. In this case, leave a more distance
between the tuner and this unit or use an outdoor antenna for
better tuner reception without interference from this unit.
1. Before doing initial settings, complete all the connections
required, connect the mains plug into the wall outlet, then set
the POWER switch to ON position.
2. When not in use, set the POWER switch to OFF position.
This disconnects the mains line.
• The speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color
distortions on TVs. However, if not installed properly, they may
cause color distortions. So, pay attention to the following when
installing the speakers.
– When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off the TV’s
main power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers.
Then wait at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV’s
main power switch again.
Cautions
• Do not block the ventilation openings or holes.
(If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a
newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.)
• Do not place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,
on the apparatus.
Some TVs may still be affected even though you have followed
the above. If this happens, move the speakers away from the
TV.
• When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be
considered and local rules or laws governing the disposal of
these batteries must be followed strictly.
• When the TV screen shakes, move this unit away from the TV to
find a position where the screen doesn't shake and then set the
unit there.
• Do not expose this apparatus to rain, moisture, dripping or
splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases,
shall be placed on the apparatus.

to the cloth and wipe clean. Then wipe with a dry cloth.
• To improve the sound field
If the speakers are facing a solid wall or glass door, etc., it is
recommended to furnish the wall with materials that absorb
sounds, for example by hanging up thick curtains, to prevent
reflections and standing waves.

locate the apparatus as follows:
1 Front:
No obstructions and open spacing.
