SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”

This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any

electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.

Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.

Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between

pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and

withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.

Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.

Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.

DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in

any way—switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.

DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.

DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for

unattended operation or has a standby mode.

Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this.

Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.

DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of

traffic safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.

DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your hearing.

DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.

Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.

DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws—to ensure complete safety always fit the

manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.

DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.

ABOVE ALL

– NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the

case—this could result in a fatal electrical shock.

– NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind—it is better to be safe than sorry!

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a JVC product.

Please read all instructions carefully before operation, to ensure your complete understanding

and to obtain the best possible performance from the unit.

Precautions

Installation

• Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to

prevent internal heat build-up in the System.

• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor

too cold—between 5°C and 35°C.

• Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV.

• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference

with the TV.

Power sources

• When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always

pull on the plug, not the power cord.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lenses inside the System in

the following cases:

• After starting to heat the room

• In a damp room

• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm

place.

Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case,

leave the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture

evaporates, unplug the power cord, then plug it in again.

Internal heat

• Make sure there is good ventilation around the System.

Poor ventilation could overheat and damage the System.

Others

• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the System,

unplug the power cord and consult your dealer before

operating any further.

• If you are not going to operate the System for an extended

period of time, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

If anything goes wrong, unplug the power cord and consult

your dealer.

heat sources, or in a place subject to direct

sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.

DO NOT handle the power cord with wet

hands.

DO NOT block the ventilation openings or

holes. If they are blocked by a newspaper or

cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.
