USing The AC AdAPTeR Using an AC adapter other than the one supplied with the unit may damage the unit. Caution:
Before use, ensure the rated voltage of the adapter matches your local voltage. The included AC adapter is for use with this unit only. Do not use it with other equipment. If you are not going to use the unit for a long time, disconnect the AC adapter from the wall outlet. Whenever the AC adapter is plugged in to a wall outlet, the AC adapter will draw some power, even when the Sound Bar is turned off.
