Note about pinpoint feet

High-precision metal pinpoint feet are attached to the bottom plate
of this unit.
The pinpoint feet and their stands are loose, but when the unit is
placed in position, it is supported by these pinpoint feet, which effec-
tively disperse vibrations.
Chassis
Foot-stand (metal)
o Apply the included felt pads to the bottoms of the foot-stands to
avoid scratching the surface where the unit is placed.

Maintenance

Use a soft dry cloth to wipe the surface of the unit clean.
For stubborn smudges, use a damp cloth that has been thoroughly
wrung out to remove excess moisture.
o Avoid allowing rubber or plastic materials to touch the unit for
long periods of time because they could damage the cabinet.
o Never spray liquid directly on this unit.
o Do not wipe with chemical cleaning cloths, thinner or other
chemical agents. Doing so could damage the surface.

Precautions for use

o Do not place anything on top of the unit.
o Do not install this unit in a location that could become hot. This
includes places that are exposed to direct sunlight or near a radia-
tor, heater, stove or other heating equipment. Moreover, do not
place it on top of an amplifier or other equipment that generates
heat. Doing so could cause discoloration or deformation.
o In order to enable good heat dissipation, leave at least 20 cm (8")
between this unit and walls and other equipment when installing
it. If you put it in a rack, take precautions to prevent overheating
by leaving at least 5 cm (2") open above the top of the unit and at
least 10 cm (4") open behind the unit.
Failure to provide these gaps could cause heat to build up inside
and result in fire.
o Place the unit in a stable location.
o Do not move the unit during use.
o Be careful to avoid injury when moving the unit due to its weight.
Have someone help you move it if necessary.
o The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage printed
on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding this matter,
consult an electrician.
o Do not open the body of the unit as this might result in damage
to the circuitry or cause electric shock. If a foreign object should
get into the unit, contact your dealer.
o When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull
directly on the plug; never yank on the cord.
o The ES-LINK format is unique to ESOTERIC and is not compatible
with the HDMI specification. Do not connect the ES-LINK connec-
tor to an HDMI connector on a device made by another company.
