must be allowed to dissipate freely, Do not close any ventilation
openings and insure that there is adequate ventilation space
behind, beside and above the amplifier.
• Prevent extra heat from reaching the unit. Never put the
amplifier in the full glare of the sun or near to a heat source ,

Note: These jacks are gold-plated so that the contact
resistance between these jac ks and the connecting cords of
the player is kept as small as possible, In order to maintain the
high-grade quality of this connection, we recommend that
connecting cords are used which also have gold-plated plugs.
