* To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always turn down the volume, and turn off all
the units before making any connections.
* Before turning the unit on/off, always be sure to turn the volume down. Even with the volume
turned down, you might hear some sound when switching the unit on/off. However, this is
normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
* To prevent the inadvertent disruption of power to your unit (should the plug be pulled out
accidentally), and to avoid applying undue stress to the jack, anchor the power cord using the
cord hook, as shown in the illustration.
