Precautions for Daily Use
· To maintain the appearance of the unit
Wipe with a dry, soft cloth if the cabinet or control
panel should become dirty.
If very dirty, apply a small amount of water or
neutral detergent to the cloth and wipe clean. Then
wipe with a dry cloth.
· To improve the sound field
If the speakers are facing a solid wall or
glass door, etc., it is recommended to
furnish the wall with materials that
absorb sounds, for example by hanging
up thick curtains, to prevent reflections
and standing waves.
Checking the Supplied Accessories
Check to be sure you have the following supplied
accessories.
The number in parenthesis indicates the quantity of
the piece supplied.

Place the unit as far away from the
player as possible.
· Take the occurrence of earthquakes or
other physical shocks into consideration
when selecting the installation place,
and secure the unit thoroughly.
· This unit is magnetically shielded to avoid color
distortions on TVs. However, if not installed
properly, it may cause color distortions. So, pay
