Listening caution
%34
Selecting  ne audio equipment such as the unit you’ve 
just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. 
Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun 
and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer 
and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer 
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your 
equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the 
sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring 
or distortion—and, most importantly, without affecting your 
sensitive hearing.
We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to 
excessive noise.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort 
level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds 
“normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level 
BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
  Start your volume control at a low setting.
  Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably 
and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
  Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing 
damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening 
for a lifetime.

Conecte el cable de alimentación de CA sólo después de haber hecho todas las demás conexiones.
■ Pilas
  Inserte los polos (+ y –) de la forma que se indica en el 
mando a distancia.
  Retire las pilas si no va a utilizar el mando a distancia 
durante un periodo de tiempo largo. Guárdelas en un 
lugar fresco y oscuro.
  No utilice baterías recargables.
 
Un mal manejo de pilas en el control remoto puede 
provocar fugas electrolíticas, que pueden provocar fuego.
Colocación de los altavoces
Los altavoces han sido diseñados idénticamente por lo que no es necesario orientar el canal derecho o izquierdo.
Utilice solamente los altavoces suministrados.
La combinación de la unidad principal y los altavoces proporcionan el mejor sonido. Utilizando otros altavoces se puede 
estropear la unidad y el sonido quedará afectado negativamente.
Nota  Mantenga sus altavoces alejados un mínimo de 10 mm (13/32 ) del sistema para tener una ventilación apropiada.
  Estos altavoces no disponen de blindaje magnético. No los ponga cerca de televisores, ordenadores personales u otros dispositivos a los 
que afecte fácilmente el magnetismo.
  No quite la rejilla frontal de los altavoces.
Precaución
  Use los altavoces sólo con el sistema recomendado. De lo contrario, se podrían dañar el ampli cador 
y los altavoces, y se podría ocasionar un incendio. Consulte a un técnico de servicio especializado si 
se ha producido algún daño o si se ha producido un cambio repentino en su funcionamiento.
  No instale estos altavoces en paredes ni techos.
