Installation
• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor
too cold--between 5°C (41 °F) and 35°C (95°F).
• Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to
prevent internal heat buildup in the System.
• Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV,
• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference
with TV.
Power sources
• When unphlgging tile System from tile wall outlet, always
pull on the plug, not the AC power cord.
A DO NOT handle the AC power cord with !;
.glr_O_: wet hands,. ....
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lenses inside the System in
the l_llowing cases:
• After starting to heat the room
• Ill a damp roonl
• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm place
Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case,
leave the System turned on for a few hours until the
moisture evaporates, unplug tile AC power cord, then plug
it in again.
Internalheat
• A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel to prevent heat
buildup inside the unit.
For safety, observe the following carefully:
• Make sure there is good ventilation around
the unit. Poor ventilation could overheat
I_ and darnage the unit.
• DO NOT block tbe cooling fan and the
ventilation openings or boles. If tbey are
blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the
heat may not be able to get out.
z ........
Others
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the System,

period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall
outlet.
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and
consult your dealer.
To make the explanations in this manual as simple and easy-
to-understand as possible, we have adapted the following
methods:
• Button and control operations are explained as listed in the
table below. In this manual, the operations using the remote
control are mainly explained; however, you can use the
buttons and controls on the main unit if they have the same
(or similar) nmne and marks.
• Some related tips and notes are explained later in the
sections "Learning More about This System" and
"Troubleshooting," but not in the same section
explaining the operations ( _ indicates that the
content has some informations). If you want to know more
about the functious, or if you have a doubt about the
function, go to these sections and you will find your answer
there.
Indicates that you press the button
briefly.
Indicates that you press the button

procedure is complete or until you
get a result you want.
Indicates that you turn the control
toward the specified direction(s).
