• This unit is magnetically shielded to avoid color distortions on TVs.

However, if not installed properly, it may cause color distortions.
So, pay attention to the following when installing the unit.
– When placing this unit near a TV set, turn off the TV’s main

power switch or unplug it before installing this unit.
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. If this happens, move this unit away from the TV.

• Tuner reception may become noisy or hissing if this unit is

installed nearby the tuner. In this case, leave a more distance
between the tuner and this unit or use an outdoor antenna for
better tuner reception without interference from this unit.

 Precautions for Daily Use

• To maintain the appearance of the unit

Wipe with a dry, soft cloth if the cabinet or control panel should
become dirty.
If very dirty, apply a small amount of water or neutral detergent
to the cloth and wipe clean. Then wipe with a dry cloth.

• To improve the sound field

If the speakers are facing a solid wall or glass door,
etc., it is recommended to furnish the wall with
materials that absorb sounds, for example by hanging
up thick curtains, to prevent reflections and standing
waves.
