However, depending on the installation location, color distortion may occur if a speaker is installed extremely close to the screen of a television set. If this happens, turn the power switch of the television set OFF, and turn it ON after 15 min to 30 min. If the problem persists, place the speaker system away from the television set. · For safety, make sure that there is no exposed bare speaker wire outside of the speaker terminals. · Do not connect the supplied speakers with any other amplifier. This may result in malfunction or fire. · Do not connect any speakers other than those supplied to this system. · The speaker system grill cannot be removed. Do not try to forcibly remove it since doing so may damage the grille. · When cleaning the cabinet, use the provided cleaning cloth. Do not allow alcohol, thinner, benzene, or insecticides to come into contact with the surface, since finish discoloration may occur.
