Read Before Use (Important)

CAUTION
TO PREVENT THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE THE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
D3-4-2-1-1_B1_En

WARNING
This equipment is not waterproof. To prevent a fire or shock hazard, do not place any container filled with liquid near this equipment (such as a vase or flower pot) or expose it to dripping, splashing, rain, or moisture.
D3-4-2-1-3_A1_En

WARNING
To prevent a fire hazard, do not place any naked flame sources (such as a lighted candle) on the equipment.
D3-4-2-1-7a_A1_En

VENTILATION CAUTION
When installing this unit, make sure to leave space around the unit for ventilation to improve heat radiation (at least 15 cm at
top, 15 cm at rear, and 15 cm at each side).

WARNING
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the product, and to protect it from overheating. To prevent fire hazards, the openings should never be blocked or covered with items (such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains) or by operating the equipment on a thick carpet or a bed.
*[CAUTS D3-4-2-1-7b_A1_En**

Operating Environment
Operating environment temperature and humidity: +5 °C to +35 °C (+41 °F to +95 °F); less than 85 %RH (cooling vents not blocked)

Do not install this unit in a poorly ventilated area, or in locations exposed to high humidity or direct sunlight (or strong artificial light).
*D3-4-2-1-7c_A2_En**

CAUTION
Do not play sine wave or narrowband noise with the high output level. If not, the speaker will be damaged.

Precaution for the DM-50D-BT/DM-50D-BTW
Do not connect this speaker to any amplifier other than the one supplied with this system. Connection to any other amplifier may result in a malfunction or a fire.
SGK006_A1_En

CAUTION
The POWER switch on this unit will not completely shut off all power from the AC outlet. Since the power cord serves as the main disconnect device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from the AC outlet to shut down all power. Therefore, make sure the unit has been installed so that the power cord can be easily unplugged from the AC outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazards, the power cord should also be unplugged from the AC outlet when left unused for a long period of time (for example, when on vacation).
*D3-4-2-2-2a_A1_En**

POWER-CORD CAUTION
Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed such that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check the power cord once in a while. When you find it damaged, ask your nearest service center or your dealer for a replacement.

WARNING
Store small parts out of the reach of children and infants. If accidentally swallowed, contact a doctor immediately.
D41-6-4_A1_En

This product is for general household purposes. Any failure due to use for other than household purposes (such as long-term use for business purposes in a restaurant or use in a car or ship) and which requires repair will be charged for even during the warranty period.
K041_A1_En

Do not attach these speakers to the wall or ceiling, as they may cause injury in the event of a fall.
SGK007_A1_En

CAUTION

This product is provided with an auto standby function. If a state of no sound continues for a set time (approximately 30 minutes) during use, the product automatically turns off the POWER indicator and enters a standby state with low power consumption regardless of whether there is a Bluetooth connection.
If the product enters the standby state when there is a Bluetooth connection, the Bluetooth connection is disconnected and the Bluetooth indicator also turns off.
When an audio signal is input from the input terminals in the standby state, the product automatically enters the power-on state. Furthermore, the product also enters the power-on state if the Bluetooth pairing button is pressed while in standby.
This auto standby function cannot be disabled.
After connecting to the terminals, lightly pull the speaker cord to make sure that the heads of the speaker cord are securely connected to the terminals. A loose connection might cause audio output to be interrupted or noise to be output.
When connecting the speaker cord, thoroughly twist the core wires, and make sure that the core wires are not protruding out of the speaker terminals. Core wires protruding out of the speaker terminals may come into contact with the rear panel or with each other. This may cause an excessive load to be placed on the amplifier which results in operation stopping or a malfunction.
If a mistake is made with the polarities (+, –) on the LEFT and RIGHT sides when connecting the LEFT and RIGHT speaker cord, the normal stereo effect can no longer be obtained.
When pairing (connecting), move the Bluetooth device close to the speakers.
A loud sound may be output when the playback operation is performed for the first time after connecting completes so we recommend lowering the volume before playback.
The pause/play operation may not be possible with the pairing button depending on the application used.
Connecting with the speakers may not be possible depending on the Bluetooth device.
If you wish to pair the speakers with a different Bluetooth device, turn off the Bluetooth function of the currently connected Bluetooth device or disconnect the connection before performing the pairing operation.
The speakers store the pairing information of up to eight Bluetooth devices and attempt to connect to the last paired device if the pairing button is pressed in the state of no connection with a Bluetooth device.
In the event noise appears in your television image, there is the possibility that a Bluetooth device or this unit (including products supported by this unit) are causing signal interference with the antenna input connector of your television, video, satellite tuner, etc. In this event, increase the distance between the antenna input connector and the Bluetooth device or this unit (including products supported by this unit).
If there is something obstructing the path between this unit (including devices supported by this unit) and the device equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology (such as a metal door, concrete wall, or insulation containing tinfoil), you may need to change the location of your system to prevent signal noise and interruptions.

CAUTION
Since the fuse may be in the neutral of the mains supply, disconnect the mains to de-energize the phase conductors.

The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands
Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level – a level that lets the sound come through clearly without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound, so what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:

Set your volume control at a low setting.
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level, set the dial and leave it there.

BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:

Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.
Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
Do not use headphones while operating a motorized vehicle; the use of headphones may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.
S001a_A1_En

[For American Users]

[Supplied power cord]
The supplied power cord is designed specifically for 120 V. Do not use it with a voltage other than 120 V.
Doing so may cause a fire or electric shock.

CAUTION

D3-8-2-1-7b_A1_En

Caution
To prevent fire hazards, the Class 2 Wiring Cable should be used for connection with the speaker and should be routed away from hazards to avoid damage to the insulation of the cable.
