Installation
PLACING THE UNIT
CAUTION: Before you begin, make sure your amplifier is disconnected from the power source.
•
Place the AVR on a level, firm surface, avoiding direct sunlight and sources of heat or damp.
•
Do not place the AVR on top of an amplifier or other source of heat.
•
Make sure the remote-control receiver to the left of the front panel display is unobstructed, otherwise this will impair the use of the remote-control.
•
Do not place your record deck on top of this unit. Record decks are very sensitive to the noise generated by mains power supplies which will be heard as
a background 'hum' if the record deck is too close.
•
The normal function of the unit may be disturbed by strong electromagnetic interference. If this occurs, simply reset the unit with the power button, or
move the unit to another location.
This product offers the user the option to deactivate power management functions. Note that doing this will increase energy consumption of the product.
