wise block the vents.

• Do not place this unit in direct sun-

light or near heat sources.

• Keep this unit away from strong

magnetic objects.

• Do not insert or drop anything into

this unit through the air vents as this

• Do not place any object containing

water or other liquids near the
controller. In the event that liquid

authorized JBL dealer immediately.

• Do not remove the cabinet.

Touching parts inside the cabinet

The operation cannot be guaran-
teed.

of time, the controller and

position and do not place any object
on it.

Moisture may form on the pickup lens
in the following conditions:
• Immediately after a heater has been

turned on.

• In a steamy or very humid room.
• When the unit is suddenly moved

from a cold environment to a warm
one.

If moisture forms inside this unit, it
may not operate properly. In this
case, turn on the power and wait
about one hour for the moisture to
evaporate.

Do not turn up the volume while
listening to a passage with very low
level or no audio signals. If you do,
the speakers may be damaged when
a peak level portion is played.

Depending on the reception condition
of the TV, interference may appear on
the TV monitor while you watch a TV
broadcast and the controller is left
on. This is not a malfunction of the
controller or the TV. To watch a TV
broadcast, turn off the controller.

• Do not attempt to service the

controller or subwoofer yourself.

• Please contact your authorized JBL

dealer.

that include a copy protection code, if
the contents of the DVD disc are
