Important safety instructions
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
Unplug the unit from the mains supply before cleaning.
The case should normally only require a wipe with a soft,
lint-free cloth. Do not use chemical solvents for cleaning.
We do not advise the use of furniture cleaning sprays or
polishes as they can cause permanent white marks.
7. Do not block any of the ventilation openings.
Install in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
or grounding type plug.
A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the
other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third
grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong
is provided for your safety. When the provided plug
does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or
pinched particularly at plugs, convenient receptacles,
and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back). No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified
service personnel.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated 'dangerous voltage' within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
CAUTION: In Canada and the USA, to prevent electric shock, match the wide blade of the plug to the wide slot
in the socket and insert the plug fully into the socket.
11. Only use the attachments/accessories specified by
the manufacturer.
12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table specified by the manufacturer,
or sold with the apparatus.
When a cart is used, use caution
when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from
tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or
when unused for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power supply cord or plug
is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen
into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to
rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been
dropped.
15. Object or liquid entry
WARNING – Take care that objects do not fall and
liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through any
openings. The equipment shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing. Liquid-filled objects such as vases
should not be placed on the equipment.
16. Service Instructions
CAUTION – These servicing instructions are for use by
qualified service personnel only. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than
that contained in the operating instructions unless you
are qualified to do so.
17. Climate
The equipment has been designed for use in moderate
climates and in domestic situations. Unplug this
equipment during lightning storms to prevent possible
damage from a strike or mains surge.
18. Power sources
Only connect the equipment to a power supply of
the type described in the operating instructions or as
marked on the equipment.
The primary method of isolating the equipment from
the mains supply is to remove the mains plug. The
equipment must be installed in a manner that makes
disconnection possible.
19. Power-cord protection
Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not
likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon
or against them. Pay particular attention to the point
where they exit from the equipment.
20. Power lines
Locate any outdoor antenna/aerial away from power
lines.
21. Speaker connections
Any speakers must be connected to the Receiver using
class II wire (i.e. no connection to Earth should be
made). Failure to observe this precaution may cause the
unit to become damaged.
E-2
Class II product
This equipment is a Class II or double
insulated electrical appliance. It has been
designed in such a way that it does not
require a safety connection to electrical
earth ('ground' in the U.S.).
22. Non-use periods
If the equipment is not being used for an extended
period, we recommend that you unplug the power cord
of the equipment from the outlet, to save power.
23. Abnormal smell
If an abnormal smell or smoke is detected from the
equipment, turn the power off immediately and unplug
the equipment from the wall outlet. Contact your dealer
and do not reconnect the equipment.
