nPrecautions for installation
WARNING
• Install in the manner instructed in the manual. Falling or toppling may result in injury or damage.
• Confirm that the finished installation is safe and secure. Also, carry out safety inspections periodically. Failure to observe this
may cause devices to fall and result in injury.
• Do not expose the product to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place on the product any containers (such
as vases, bottles or glasses) containing liquids which might spill into any openings or places where water may drop. A liquid
such as water getting into the product may cause a fire, electric shocks, or malfunctions.
• Do not place any burning items or open flames near the product, since they may cause a fire.
• Do not use this product near medical devices or inside medical facilities. Radio waves from this product may affect electro-
medical devices.
CAUTION
• Do not place the product in an unstable position where it might accidentally drop or fall over and cause injuries.
• When installing this product, do not obstruct heat dissipation. Failure to observe this may trap heat inside the product, causing
a fire or malfunctions.
• Do not install the product in places where it may come into contact with corrosive gases or salt air, or places that have
excessive smoke or steam. Doing so may result in malfunction.
• Avoid being near the product during a disaster, such as an earthquake. Since the product may turn over or fall and cause injury,
quickly move away from the product and go to a safe place.
NOTICE
• Do not press hard on the speaker units or fabric-covered portion of this product.
• Do not place any objects susceptible to magnetism (such as a hard disk drive or magnetic card) near the product. The magnetic
effect of the sound bar may cause damage to the object or its recorded data.
• Do not use this product in a location that becomes extremely hot, such as in direct sunlight or near a heater, or that becomes
extremely cold, or that is subject to excessive dust or vibration. Failure to observe this may cause this product’s panel to
become deformed, the internal components to malfunction, or for operation to become unstable.
• If using a wireless function, avoid installing this product near metal walls or desks, microwave ovens, or other wireless network
devices. Obstructions could shorten the transmission distance.

PREPARATION > Precautions for preparation

nPrecautions for connections
WARNING
• Use this product with the power supply voltage printed on it. Failure to connect to an appropriate AC outlet may cause a fire,
electric shocks, or malfunctions.
• Be sure to use the supplied power cord and AC adaptor. Do not use the supplied power cord and AC adaptor for other devices.
Failure to observe this may cause a fire, electric shocks, or malfunctions.
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands. Do not handle this product with wet hands. Failure to observe this may
cause electric shocks or malfunctions.
• Do not touch the power plug or cord if there is a chance of lightning. Failure to observe this may cause electric shocks.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction
occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the AC outlet. Even when the power switch is
turned off, as long as the power cord is not unplugged from the wall AC outlet, the product will not be disconnected from the
power source.
• If not using the product for long periods of time, be sure to pull the power plug from the AC outlet. Failure to observe this may
cause a fire or malfunctions.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it. Failure to observe this may
cause a fire or electric shocks.
CAUTION
• Do not use an AC outlet where the power plug fits loosely when inserted. Failure to observe this may cause a fire, electric
shocks, or burns.
• When disconnecting the power plug, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it and cause
electric shocks or a fire.
• Insert the power plug firmly all the way into the AC outlet. Using the product when it is not plugged in sufficiently can cause
dust to accumulate on the plug, causing a fire or burns.
NOTICE
• If connecting external devices, be sure to thoroughly read the User Guide for each device and connect them in accordance with
the instructions. Failure to properly handle a device in accordance with the instructions could cause malfunctions.
