Use of batteries
¥ Align the poles (+ and Ð) properly when inserting the batteries.
¥ Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.
¥ Do not recharge ordinary dry cell batteries.
¥ Do not heat or disassemble the batteries. Do not allow them to
contact flame or water.
¥ Remove the batteries if the unit is not to be used for a long time.
¥ Do not keep together with metallic objects such as necklaces.
¥ Do not use rechargeable type batteries.
¥ Do not use batteries if the covering has been peeled off.
Mishandling of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage which can
damage items the fluid contacts and may cause a fire.
If electrolyte leaks from the batteries, consult your dealer.
Wash thoroughly with water if electrolyte comes in contact with any
part of your body.
Correct method of use
Operations notes
¥ Do not place obstacles between the remote control signal sensor
and remote control unit.
¥ Do not expose the remote control signal sensor to direct sunlight or
to the bright light of a fluorescent  light.
¥ Take care to keep the remote control signal sensor and end of the
remote control unit free from dust.
¥ If this system is installed in a rack with glass doors, the glass doorsÕ
thickness or color might make it necessary to use the remote
control a shorter distance from the system.
To prevent damage
¥ Never place heavy items on top of the unit.
¥ Do not disassemble or reconstruct the unit.
¥ Do not spill water or other liquids into the unit.
Placement of speakers
Speakers are designed identically so that no left or right channel
orientation is necessary.
Notes
¥ Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32ý) away from the system
for proper ventilation.
¥ These speakers do not have magnetic shielding. Do not place them
near televisions, personal computers or other devices easily
influenced by magnetism.
¥ To avoid damage to the speakers, do not touch the speakers cones
if you have taken the nets off.
Listening caution
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit youÕve just pur-
chased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now itÕs time to
consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equip-
ment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Asso-
ciationÕs 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 dis-
tortion Ñ and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive
hearing.
We recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure to excessive
noise.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing Òcomfort levelÓ
adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds ÒnormalÓ 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.
