INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

Selecting a location

Select a location for the receiver that allows adequate
air circulation, free from extreme heat, cold or
vibrations, and other electromagnetic sources.
An improper location may damage the receiver.
Never place the receiver in areas such as:
• Temperatures below –10°C (+40°F) or above +60°C
(+140°F).
• Unstable place slope or vibrate.
• In direct sunlight.
• High humidity and temperature.
• Dusty environments.
• Noisy environments.

Heat dissipation

• DO NOT place the receiver against walls, or put
anything on top of the receiver. This may block airflow.
• NEVER install the receiver in a place without
adequate ventilation. Heat dissipation may be
reduced, and the receiver may be damaged.

For desktop use

The receiver has a stand for desktop use.
z Pull the stand until it locks in place.
Stand
CAUTION: NEVER carry the receiver by holding the stand,
dials, controls and so on. This may damage them.

Grounding

To prevent electrical shock, interfere
from other electric devices and other
problems, ground the receiver using
the ground terminal [GND] on the rear
panel.
For best results, connect a heavy
gauge wire or strap to a long ground
rod. Make the distance between the
[GND] terminal and ground as short as
possible.
RWARNING! NEVER connect the [GND] terminal
to a gas or electric pipe, since the connection could
cause an explosion or electric shock.
