About wireless LAN security

Since communication via the wireless LAN function is established by radio waves, the wireless signal may be susceptible to interception. To protect wireless communication, this system supports various security functions. Be sure to correctly configure the security settings in accordance with your network environment.

■No Security

Although you can easily make settings, anyone can intercept wireless communication or intrude into your wireless network, even without any sophisticated tools. Keep in mind that there is a risk of unauthorized access or interception of data.

■WEP

WEP applies security to communications to prevent outsiders from intercepting communications or intruding into your wireless network. WEP is a legacy security technology that enables older devices which do not support TKIP/AES to be connected.

■WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA2-PSK (TKIP)

TKIP is a security technology developed in response to the deficiencies of WEP. TKIP assures a higher security level than WEP.

Precautions

On safety

  • Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the system and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
  • Do not touch the AC power cord (mains lead) with wet hands. Doing so may cause an electric shock.

On power sources

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 (mains lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.

Placement

  • Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.
  • Although the system heats up during operation, this is not a malfunction. If you continuously use this system at a large volume, the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not touch the cabinet.
  • Do not place the system on a soft surface (rugs, blankets, etc.) that might block the ventilation holes.
  • Do not install the system near heat sources such as radiators, air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.
  • Do not install the system in an inclined position. It is designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.
  • Keep the system and discs away from components with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.
  • Do not place heavy objects on the system.
  • Do not place metal objects in front of the front panel. It may limit reception of radio waves.
  • Do not place the system in a place where medical equipment is in use. It may cause a malfunction of medical equipment.
