tions as a routine part of Luxman's systematic
quality control. This, along with full electrical
testing, should insure quality craftsmanship and
performance. After you have unpacked the unit.
inspect it for any physical damage. Save the
shipping carton and all packing materials, as
they are essential to reduce to a minimum the
possibility of transportation damage, should the
product ever need to be shipped again.
In the unlikely event that damage has occurred,
notify your dealer immediately and request the
name of the carrier so that a written claim to
cover shipping damages can be initiated.
The right to any claim against a public
carrier can be forfeited if the carrier is not
notified promptly and if the shipping carton
and packing material are not available for
inspection. Save all packing materials until
the claim has been settled.
Installation and Placement
The Luxman C-383 generates almost no heat,
therefore its placement is not critical. However
it should not be placed on top of or completely
enclosed with high power amplifier. If placed in
a cabinet with such components, be sure
adequate ventilation is provided. With these
considerations implemented, the Luxman
C-383 should provide exceptional performance
in any reasonable environment.
Of course, such normal considerations as
protection from excessive dust and moisture
should always be observed. The Luxrnan
C-383 Preamplifier has been carefully designed
with h~ gh quality components so that long term
undiminished performance may be expected
when it is operated in accordance with the
instructions provided.
