* If you pass the cable behind the snare,
it will be pinched when you store the
system, causing the cable to break.
* To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always turn down the volume, and turn o all the units before
making any connections.
* Pass the cord from the AC adaptor through the cable holder, so it is held in place against the stand. This way,
even if someone accidentally tugs on the cord, you won't have to worry about the plug getting pulled out,
which would cause a sudden loss of power. And, you can also prevent the application of an undue amount of
force to the AC adaptor's connector.
