Precautions
On safety
• Before operating the system, be sure that the operating
voltage of the system is identical with that of your local
power supply.
• Unplug the system from the mains if it is not to be used for
an extended period of time. To disconnect the mains lead,
pull the mains lead by grasping the plug. Never pull the
mains lead itself.
• Should any liquid or solid object fall into the system,
unplug the system’s mains lead and have the system
checked by qualified personnel before operating it any
further.
• Mains lead must be changed only at the qualified service
shop.
On operation
• Do not drive the speaker system with a continuous wattage
exceeding the maximum input power of the system.
• If the polarity of the speaker connections are not correct,
the bass tones will be weak and the position of the various
instruments obscure.
• Before connecting, turn off the amplifier (subwoofer) to
avoid damaging the speaker system.
• The speaker grille cannot be removed. Do not attempt
to remove the grille on the speaker system. If you try to
remove it, you may damage the speaker.
• The volume level should not be turned up to the point of
distortion.
On placement
• Do not set the speakers in an inclined position.
• Do not place the speakers in locations that are:
— Extremely hot or cold
— Dusty or dirty
— Very humid
— Subject to vibrations
— Subject to direct sunlight
• Use caution when placing the speaker on a specially
treated (waxed, oiled, polished, etc.) floor, as staining or
discoloration may result.
On cleaning
Clean the speaker cabinets with a soft cloth lightly moistened
with a mild detergent solution or water. Do not use any type
of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol
or benzine.

• Make sure the correct input source has been selected.
• Check if headphones are connected to the player. If they are, disconnect them.
• Make sure that the subwoofer isn’t in standby mode.
There is distortion in the subwoofer sound output.
