PRECAUTIONS

On Safety

- Should any solid object or liquid fall into the receiver, unplug the receiver and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

On Power Sources

• Before operating the system, check that the operating voltage is identical with your local power supply.
  • The operating voltage is indicated on the back of the speakers.
• As long as the unit is not removed from the wall outlet, the unit will not be disconnected from the AC power source (main) even if the unit itself has been turned off.
• If you are not going to use the system for a long time, be sure to disconnect the system from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord, disconnect by grasping the plug itself; never pull the cord.
• One contact prong of the plug is wider than the other for safety purposes, which will fit into the wall outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer.
  • The AC power cord should only be changed at a qualified service shop.

On Heat Buildup

- Although the system heats up during operation, this is not a malfunction. If you continuously use this system at a large volume, the receiver temperature on top, side and bottom may rise considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not touch the receiver.

On Placement

• Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup and to prolong the life of the system.
• Do not place the system near heat sources or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
• Do not place anything on top of the receiver that might block the ventilation holes and

cause malfunctions.

• Do not place the system near equipments such as a TV, VCR, or tape deck. (If the system is being used in combination with a TV, VCR or tape deck, and is placed too close to such equipment, noise may occur and picture quality may suffer. Especially, when using an indoor antenna).
• Use caution when placing the system or speakers on surfaces that have been specially treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discoloration of the surface may result.

On Operation

• Before connecting other components, be sure to turn off and unplug the system.
• The center speaker is magnetically shielded to allow it to be installed near a TV set. However, color irregularities may still be observed on certain types of TV sets.
• As the front speakers, center speaker and the subwoofer are not magnetically shielded, we recommend that you place them slightly further away from the TV set.
• If color irregularity is observed, turn off the TV set then turn it on again after 15 to 30 minutes.
• If color irregularity is observed again, then place the speaker further away from the TV set.
• If howling occurs, reposition the speakers or turn down the volume on the receiver.

On Cleaning

- Clean the receiver panel, and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent, such as alcohol or benzene.

- If you have any questions or problems concerning your system, please consult your nearest Pyle dealer.
