Preparing the remote control

Use alkaline or manganese batteries.

Install the batteries so that the poles (+ and –) align with those in the remote control.

Placement of speakers

Point the remote control at the signal sensor of the remote control

(Z 9), away from obstacles, at a maximum range of 7 m directly in front of the main unit.

CAUTION!

• Do not mix used and new batteries.

• Do not use different types of batteries at the same time.

• Do not break open or short-circuit the batteries.

• Do not charge the alkaline or manganese batteries.

• Do not use the batteries if the cover has peeled off.

• Do not heat or expose to flame.

• Do not leave the battery(ies) in an automobile exposed to direct sunlight for a long period of time with doors and windows closed.

• Mishandling of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage, which can cause a fire.

• Remove the batteries if you do not use the remote control for a long period of time. Keep in a cool, dark area.

CAUTION!

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

The right and left speakers are the same.

Use only the supplied speakers.

The combination of the main unit and speakers give the best sound.

You can cause damage to the system and decrease the sound quality if you use other speakers.

Note:

• Keep your speakers more than 10 mm from the main unit for ventilation.

• Put the speakers on a flat safe surface.

• When you play at high levels for a long period, it can cause damage to the system and decrease the life of the system.

• Decrease the volume in these conditions to prevent damage:

– When you play distorted sound.

– When you adjust the sound quality.

Irregular colour on your TV

The setup condition of the speakers can cause unwanted effects to the picture of the TV.

If this occurs, switch off the TV for 30 minutes.

If the demagnetising of the TV does not correct the problem, increase the distance between the speakers and the TV.

CAUTION!

• Use the speakers only with the recommended system. If not,

you can cause damage to the amplifier and speakers and can cause a fire. Consult an approved service personnel if damage occurs or if there is a sudden apparent change in performance.

• Do the procedures included in these instructions when you

attach the speakers.
