The only receivers you should connect to these speakers are
those whose rated output does not exceed the above figures.
Using a receiver with higher ratings than listed above can cause
abnormal sounds to occur because of excessive input, damage to the
receiver or speakers, and fire. If equipment is damaged in any way or
unexpected trouble occurs during playback, unplug the system from its
outlet and call a servicenter for assistance.
These units incorporate protection circuitry to protect them from
damage caused by excessive input or abnormal signals; when
excess input is detected, input is automatically interrupted.
If sound is interrupted...
1.Reduce the volume of the receiver.
2.
Check the sound source and connections for any problems.
If there is no problem, the protection circuitry will reset in
a few minutes.
After the protection circuit is reset...
Take care not to increase the receiver’s volume too high.
Protection circuitry (SB-WA1010)
This speaker is provided with a protection circuit. If trouble
develops inside the speaker because the speaker is being used
in an abnormally hot location or because excessively high input
signals are supplied, the protection circuit may be triggered,
shutting down the output.
It could take approximately an hour for the protection circuitry to
reset.
If sound is interrupted during play…
1. Reduce the volume level from the receiver.
2. Press [POWER] to turn the unit off.
3. Check the temperature and connections for problems.
4. Remove the cause of any problems discovered. 
Press [POWER] to turn the unit on.
Should the unit still not function properly…
Pull out the plug and consult your dealer.You can damage your speakers and shorten their life span
if you keep the volume high over extended periods.
Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid damage:
• When playing distorted sound.
• When the speakers are receiving howling from a microphone
or record player, noise from FM broadcasts, or continuous
signals from an oscillator, test disc, or electronic instrument.
• When adjusting the sound quality.
• When turning the receiver on or off.
When used with a CRT TV set
• Depending on how the installation is configured, irregular
coloring may occur. If this occurs, turn the television off for
about 30 minutes. The television’s demagnetizing function
should correct the problem. If it persists, move the speakers
further away from the television.
This speaker system is not magnetically shielded.
Do not place it near a PC or other device that is affected by
magnetic fields.
Keep magnetized items away.
Magnetized cards, bank cards, commuter passes, etc., can be
damaged if placed too close to the speaker magnets. Clocks
may also be affected.
Avoid locations such as described below:
• In direct sunlight
• Near heating appliances or other sources of heat
• Where the humidity is high

Product Service
1. Damage requiring service — The unit should be serviced by
qualified service personnel if: 
(a) The AC power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or 
(b) Objects or liquids have gotten into the unit; or 
(c) The unit has been exposed to rain; or 
(d) The unit does not operate normally or exhibits a marked change in
performance; or 
(e) The unit has been dropped or the cabinet damaged. 
2. Servicing — Do not attempt to service the unit beyond that
described in these operating instructions. Refer all other servicing to
authorized servicing personnel. 
3. Replacement parts — When parts need replacing ensure the
servicer uses parts specified by the manufacturer or parts that have
the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized
substitutes may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards. 
4. Safety check — After repairs or service, ask the servicer to perform
safety checks to confirm that the unit is in proper working condition.

For product information or assistance with product operation: 
Refer to “Customer Services Directory” on page 58.Selecting fine 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.
