Suggestions for safety
Avoid placing the unit In areas of:
© direct suntight
@ high temperature
# high humidity
® excessive vibration
® uneven surfaces (Place the unit on a flat level surface.)
Such conditions might damage the cabinet and/or other component
parts and thereby shorten the unit's service life.
Never place heavy items on top of the unit or the AC power cord.
elt is very dangerous to use an AC power source of high voltage
such as for an air conditioner.
A fire might be caused by such a connection.
# A DC power source can not be used.
Be sure to check the power source carefully, especially if on a
ship or other place where DC is used.
® Avoid cuts, scratches or poor connection of the AC power cord, as
this may result in fire or electric shock.
Excessive bending, pulling or slicing of the cord should also be
avoided.
¢ Do not pull on the cord when you are disconnecting the power, as
this could cause an electric shock. Grasp the plug firmly when you
disconnect the power supply.
Never touch the plug with wet hands or a serious electric shock
could result.
Ensure that no foreign objects, such as needles, coins, screw-
drivers etc., accidentally fall into the unit.
Otherwise, a serious electric shock or malfunction could occur.
© Be extremely careful about spilling water or liquid on/into the unit,
as a fire or electric shock could occur,
(Disconnect the power plug and contact your dealer immediately if
this occurs.)
Avoid spraying insecticides onto the unit as they contain flamma-
ble gases which can be ignited.
¢ Insecticides, alcohol, paint thinner and similar chemicals should
never be used to clean the unit as they can cause flaking or
cloudiness to the cabinet finish.
Never attempt to repair, disassemble or reconstruct the unit if
there seems to be a problem.
A serious electric shock could result if you ignore this precaution-
ary measure.
eif a problem occurs during operation (the sound is interrupted,
indicators faii to light up, smoke is detected, etc.) contact your
dealer or Authorized Service Center immediately.
@ Disconnect the power supply if the unit will not be used for a long
time. Otherwise the operation life could be shortened.
