Safety precautions

Placement
Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight,
high temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These
conditions can damage the cabinet and other components, thereby
shortening the unit's service life.
Do not place heavy items on the unit.
Voltage
Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the
unit and cause a fire.
Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when
setting the unit up on a ship or other place where DC is used.
AC mains lead protection
Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not dam-
aged. Poor connection and lead damage can cause fire or electric
shock. Do not pull, bend, or place heavy items on the lead.
Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the AC
mains lead can cause electric shock.
Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric
shock.
Foreign matter
Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can cause elec-
tric shock or malfunction.
Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric shock
or malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the unit from
the power supply and contact your dealer.
Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain flam-
mable gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.
Service
Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is inter-
rupted, indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any other problem
that is not covered in these operating instructions occurs, discon-
nect the AC mains lead and contact your dealer or an authorized
service center. Electric shock or damage to the unit can occur if the
unit is repaired, disassembled or reconstructed by unqualified per-
sons.
Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the power
source if it is not to be used for a long time.
CAUTION:
The AC voltage is different according to the area. Be sure
to set the proper voltage in your area before use.
