Caution : Read this item carefully to keep your safety.
Important safeguards
1. Suffocation - After taking the unit out of the polyethylene
bag, be sure to dispose of the polyethylene bag out of the
reach of children. Otherwise, they may play with the bag,
which could cause hazard of suffocation.
2. Water and moisture - Do not place a liquid container,
such as a vase and water basin, on the appliance. Also
avoid installing the unit in a place subject to dampness.
3. Heat - Do not install the unit near a source of heat, such as
radiators, or under direct sunlight.
4. Modification - Do not attempt to open or modify the unit,
for this could cause fire hazard or malfunction.
5. Cleaning - Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol,
paint thinner, gasoline, or benzine, etc. to clean the cabi-
net. Use a clean dry cloth.
6. Abnormal smell - If an abnormal smell or smoke is detect-
ed, immediately turn the power OFF and unplug the appli-
ance from the wall outlet. Contact your dealer or nearest
service center.
Note on operation
1. The nominal impedance of the speaker system is 8
ohms. Before using the system, check the specifica-
tions of your amplifier and receiver to confirm that
they accept a load impedance of 8 ohms.
2. The peak input power that is allowed to be input to
this speaker system is 120 W. If an excessive power is
applied to the speakers, the audio quality may be de-
teriorated or malfunction may occur. In addition, heat
generation may rise the temperature of the tweeters
and the surroundings, causing burns to persons touch-
ing them. Take special care in the following points
when using the system.
· Even when the output power of the amplifier in use is
lower than the maximum allowable input power of the
speaker system, increasing the volume too much will
distort the amplifier output and causes an excessive in-
put to the system. Be sure not to increase the amplifier
volume too much.
· Do not increase the amplifier volume too much while
the low- and/or high-frequency levels are enhanced
with the tone controls (BASS, TREBLE) or loudness con-
trol of the amplifier.
· Avoid applying continuously the inter-station noise in
FM broadcasting or a special signal (one containing har-
monics, etc.) such as that generated during fast forward-
ing of tape to the speaker system.
· Minimize the amplifier volume when changing a switch
position or placing a stylus on an analog disc.
