Concerning the remote control

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just pur-chased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time toconsider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equip-ment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Associ-ation's Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of

your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the soundcome through loud and clear without annoying blaring ordistortion--and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitivehearing.

We recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.

Bound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing =comfort level"adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds "normal" canactually be loud and harmful to your hearing.Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFOREyour headng adapts.To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and

cleady, and without distortion.

Once you have establlehed a comfortable sound level:• Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damageor loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

AA, UM-3

Insert the battedes observing the correct polarities ((_, ®).

• Align the poles (+ and -) properly when inserting the batteries.• Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.• Do not recharge ordinary dry celt batteries.• Do not heat or disassemble the batteries. Do not allow them to

contact flame or water.• Remove the batteries if the unit is not to be used for a long time.• Do not keep together with metallic objects such as necklaces.• Do not use rechargeable type batteries.• Do not use batteries if the covering has been peeled off.

Mishandling of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage which candamage items the fluid contacts and may cause a tire.If electrolyte leeks from the batteries, consult your dealer.Wash thoroughly with water if electrolyte comes in contact with anypart of your body.

Placement of speakers

Speakers are designed identically so that no left or right channelorientation is necessary.
