Important safety information 

FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ AND RETAIN ALL SAFETY 
AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. HEED ALL 
WARNINGS IN THIS MANUAL AND ON THE UNIT. 
POWER SOURCE 

To avoid any malfunctions of the unit, and to protect against 
electric  shock,  fire  or  personal  injury,  please  observe  the 
following

 

This system has been designed to work with 120-volt AC 

current. Connection to a line voltage other than that may 
create a safety and fire hazard and may damage the 
system. If you are unsure of the type of power supply to 
your home, consult your local dealer or power company. 

Hold the plug firmly when connecting or disconnecting the 

power cord to the wall outlet. 

 Do not run power cords under rugs or carpets or place 

heavy objects on them.  

Damaged or deformed power cords are hazardous and 

should be replaced immediately by a qualified service 
technician.   

LOCATION 

 Air vents are provided in the cabinet to prevent excessive 

temperatures inside the unit. Do not place this unit in 
closed spaces, cover it, or otherwise block the vents. 

 Do not place this unit in direct sunlight, or near heat 

sources. 

 Keep this unit away from strong magnetic objects. 

 Do not use the unit in a car. The operation can not be 

guaranteed. 

 Place the unit in a horizontal position, and do not place 

anything heavy on it. 

CARE 

 Do not insert or drop anything into this unit through the air 

vents as this could cause serious damage, possibly 
resulting in fire. 

 Do not place any object containing water or other liquids 

on this unit. In the event that liquid should enter the 
cabinet, unplug this unit immediately and contact the 
retailer or service center immediately. 

 Do not remove the cabinet. Touching parts inside the 

cabinet could result in electric shock and damage to the 
unit. 

 Do not put any foreign objects on the disc tray. 

Nonuse Periods 

 When the unit is not being used, turn the power off. 

 When left unused for a long period of time, the unit should 

be unplugged from the household AC outlet. 

 

 

Condensation 

Moisture may form on the pickup lens in the following 
conditions: 

 Immediately after a heater has been turned on. 

 In a steamy or very humid room. 

 When the unit is suddenly moved from a cold environment 

to a warm one. 

If  moisture  forms  inside  this  unit,  it  may  not  operate 

properly. In this case, turn on the power and wait about one 
hour for the moisture to evaporate. 

Volume control 

Do not turn up the volume while listening to a portion with 

very low level input or no audio signal. The speaker may 
be damaged when a peak level portion is played. 

CLEANING  

 Unplug the unit before cleaning.  

 When the system gets dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft cloth. 

If  necessary,  wipe  it  with  a  soft  cloth,  slightly  dampened 
with mild soapy water, then a fresh cloth with clean water. 
Wipe dry immediately with a dry cloth. 

 Never use benzene, aerosol cleaners, thinner, alcohol or 

any volatile cleaning agent. 

 Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the 

finish. 

 Avoid spaying insecticide near all components. 

Your speakers require minimal maintenance under normal 

use. The cabinet may be cleaned using a damp cloth or a 
mild, non-abrasive cleaner. To clean the grille, first remove 
it from the speaker, then brush lightly with a soft brush or 
use a vacuum on its lowest setting. Do not attempt to 
clean the actual drivers. 

 

SERVICE 

 Do not open the cabinet of any components. There are no 

user-serviceable components in this product. Opening the 
cabinets may present a shock hazard, and any modification 
to this product will void your guarantee.

 

 Do not attempt to service the unit yourself. If water or any 

metal objects such as paper clips, wire or staples accidentally 
fall inside, disconnect the unit from the power source 
immediately, and consult an authorized service center. 

 Please refer any service to the nearest service center.
