NOTICE
To avoid the possibility of malfunction/ damage to the 
product, damage to data, or damage to other property, 
follow the notices below.
 Handling and Maintenance
• Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibration, 
or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near 
a heater, or in a car during the day), in order to prevent 
the possibility of panel disfiguration, unstable operation, 
or damage to the internal components.
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the 
device, since this might discolor the panel.
• When cleaning the device, use a dry and soft cloth. Do 
not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or 
chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
• Condensation can occur in the device due to rapid, 
drastic changes in ambient temperature—when the 
device is moved from one location to another, or air 
conditioning is turned on or off, for example. Using the 
device while condensation is present can cause 
damage. If there is reason to believe that condensation 
might have occurred, leave the device for several hours 
without turning on the power until the condensation has 
completely dried out.
• During extreme changes in temperature or humidity, 
condensation may occur and water may collect on the 
surface of the device. If water is left, the wooden parts 
may absorb the water and be damaged. Make sure to 
wipe any water off immediately with a soft cloth.
• Interference From Cell Phones
Using a cell phone near the speaker system can induce 
noise. If this occurs, move the cell phone further away 
from the speaker system.
• Air blowing out of the bass reflex ports is normal, and 
often occurs when the speaker is handling program 
material with heavy bass content.
• Always turn the power off when the device is not in use.
• Avoid touching or allowing objects to come in contact 
with the speaker diaphragms.
• These speakers should be used vertically, not laid on 
their side.
 Connectors
• XLR-type connectors are wired as follows (IEC60268 
standard): pin 1: ground, pin 2: hot (+), and pin 3: cold 
(-).
