Introduction
% Important cautions
Installation of the system
· Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold;
between 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F).
· Leave sufficient distance between the system and the TV.
· Do not use the system in a place subject to vibration.
Power cord
· Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!
· A small amount of power (2.5 watts) is always consumed while
the power cord is connected to the wall outlet (center unit only).
· When unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet, always
pull on the plug, not the power cord.
To prevent malfunctions of the system
· There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If anything goes
wrong, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer.
· Do not insert any metallic object into the system.
· Do not use any non-standard shape disc (like a heart, flower or
credit card, etc.) available on the market, because it may damage
the system.
· Do not use a disc with tape, stickers, or paste on it, because it
may damage the system.
Note about copyright laws

If water gets inside the system
Turn the system off and disconnect the power cord plug from the
wall outlet, then call the store where you made your purchase.
Using the system in this condition may cause fire or electrical
shock.
Check to be sure you have all of the supplied accessories.
