About this manual Safety information • The instructions in this manual describe the controls on the remote. You can also use the controls on the system if they have the same or similar names as those on the remote. • The Control Menu items may be different depending on the area. • “DVD” may be used as a general term for DVD VIDEOs, DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, and DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs. • The following symbols are used in this manual.
Magnetic influence This system contains a strong magnet in the speaker unit that generates a magnetic field. Keep any items susceptible to magnetic fields away from the speaker. Sound If a snapping or popping sound from the system is continuous or frequent while the system is operating, unplug the system and consult your dealer or service technician. It is normal for system’s to make occasional snapping or popping sounds, particularly when being turned on or off.
Placement Oils • Do not obstruct the area where the lift unit moves up and down. It may cause a malfunction. Leave some space around the system. Otherwise, air-circulation may be inadequate and cause overheating, which may cause fire or damage to the system or the lift unit. Do not install this system in restaurants that use oil. Dust absorbing oil may enter and damage the system. 30 cm (1 ft) 10 cm (4 in) 10 cm (4 in) Leave at least this much space.
– If the system does not operate normally when following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are specified in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the system to normal operation. – When the system exhibits a distinct change in performance, it indicates need for service. Cleaning • Unplug the AC power cord (mains lead) when cleaning the plug and this system.
Volume adjustment • Adjust the volume so as not to trouble your neighbours. Sound carries very easily at night time. Therefore, closing the windows or using headphones is suggested. • When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid excessive levels, as hearing damage may result. • Do not turn up the volume while listening to a section with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level section is suddenly played.
• Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation slots. • Do not install the unit in an inclined position. It is designed to be operated in a horizontal position only. • Keep the unit and discs away from equipment with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers. • If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may condense inside this system and cause damage to the lenses.
