Recording of copyrighted material may infringe copyright laws. About the copyguard system The discs are protected by the copyguard system. When connecting the System to a TV via a VCR, or to a TV with a built-in VCR, the copyguard system activates and distortion of the picture may occur. Notes on installing and using the speakers • Place the speakers and subwoofer on a flat and level surface. • The speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color distortions on TVs. If the color on a TV is distorted, perform the following procedure: - Turn off the TV's main power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers. Then wait at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV's main power switch again. Some TVs may still be affected even though you have followed the above procedure. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV. • The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded. To avoid color distortion, do not place it near the TV or monitor. • When moving the speakers and subwoofer, do not pull the speaker cords. Doing so may cause the speakers and/or subwoofer to fall over, causing damage or injury. • When installing the speakers on a wall, be sure to have them installed by qualified personnel. DO NOT install the speakers on a wall by yourself. • Do not lean against the speakers, as they could fall down or break, possibly causing an injury. Be especially careful that children do not lean against them. About the adjustment of volume Always set the volume to the minimum level before starting any source. If the volume is set at a high level, the sudden blast of sound could permanently damage your hearing and/ or blow out the speakers. To clean the System • Use a soft cloth. Follow the relevant instructions on the use of chemically-coated cloths. • If the System is heavily stained, apply a small amount of water or neutral detergent to the cloth and wipe clean, then wipe with a dry cloth. • Do not use benzene, thinner or other organic solvents and disinfectants. These may cause deformation or discoloring. 2
