Precautions On safety The nameplate indicating operating voltage, power consumption, etc., is located on the rear exterior. • Before operating the system, be sure that the operating voltage of the system is identical with that of your local power supply. Where purchased U.S.A./Canada European countries Other countries Operating voltage 120 V AC, 60 Hz 220 - 230 V AC, 50 Hz • 110 - 120 V AC, 50/60 Hz • 220 - 230 V AC, 50 Hz • Use only the optional AC power adaptor AC-E60HG. • After operating the system with the AC power adaptor, disconnect the AC power adaptor from the wall outlet if the system is not to be used for an extended period of time. The POWER switch does not turn the AC power adaptor off. On operation • Do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only. • Should any solid object or liquid fall into the system, have the system checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further. • Although this system is magnetically shielded, do not leave recorded tapes, watches, personal credit cards, or floppy disks with magnetic coding in front of the system for an extended period of time. If the TV picture or monitor display is magnetically distorted Although this system is magnetically shielded, there may be cases that the picture on some TV sets/personal computer sets may become magnetically distorted. In such a case, turn off the power of the TV set/personal computer set once, and after 15 to 30 minutes turn it on again. For the personal computer set, take the appropriate measures such as data storage before turning it off. When there seems to be no improvement, locate the system further away from the TV set/personal computer set. Furthermore, be sure not to place objects in which magnets are attached or used near the TV set/ personal computer set, such as audio racks, TV stands, toys etc. These may cause magnetic distortion to the picture due to their interaction with the system.
