Placement precautions

- Do not install this unit in a location that could become hot. This includes places that are exposed to direct sunlight or near a radiator, heater, stove or other heating equipment. Moreover, do not place it on top of an amplifier or other equipment that generates heat. Doing so could cause discoloration, deformation or malfunction.

- When installing this unit, leave a little space (at least 20 cm or 11") between it and walls and other devices in order to allow good heat dissipation. Failure to provide these gaps could cause heat to build up inside and result in fire.

- Do not strike the enclosure (cabinet) or front grill with hard objects. Doing so could cause scratching or damage the speakers.

- Avoid contact with rubber and vinyl for long periods of time, because it could damage the surface.

- This product has been designed to minimize magnetic effects, but you should not place cards, tapes and discs that use magnetic recording or other items that are easily affected by magnetic force on top of it. Failure to do so could result in data loss or damage.

Maintenance

The enclosure is made of natural wood, so exposure to moisture could cause harm and should be avoided. Wipe with a dry cloth.

For your safety, disconnect the power cord from the outlet before cleaning.

When using this unit with a mobile phone or other Bluetooth devices, they should be no more than about 10 m (33 ft) apart.

Depending on the circumstances of use, however, the effective transmission distance might be shorter.

Wireless communication with every device that supports Bluetooth wireless technology is not guaranteed.

To determine the compatibility between this unit and another device that supports Bluetooth wireless technology, refer to that device's operation manual or contact the shop where you purchased it.

Profiles

This unit supports the following Bluetooth profiles.

● A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile)

● AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile)

In order to transfer audio using Bluetooth wireless transmission, the Bluetooth device must support A2DP.

In order to control playback on the Bluetooth device, it must support AVRCP.

Even if a Bluetooth device supports the same profiles, though, its functions might differ according to its specifications.

Transmission security

This unit supports security functions during Bluetooth wireless transmission in accordance with the Bluetooth standard specifications, but it does not guarantee the privacy of such transmissions.

TEAC CORPORATION will bear no responsibility should an information leak occur during Bluetooth wireless transmission.

Complete all other connections before turning the unit on.

• Carefully read the manuals of the devices that you are connecting and follow their instructions when making connections.
• Do not bundle connecting cables with power cords. Doing so could cause noise.
• Connect all plugs completely.
