SAFETY INFORMATION
1. GENERAL SAFE TY
Read this manual carefully and make sure you understand the instructions given. For your
safety, know what the reaction upon each action will be. Do not perform any actions which are
not described in this manual, failing to do so might result in an uncontrolled behavior of the
receiver or even in a hazardous situation for persons and/or equipment.
Disconnect the receiver from the mains before you start any maintenance or installation
procedures. Do not use alcohol or ammonia based liquids to clean the receiver. If required,
clean with a soft lint-free cloth slightly made damp with a mild soap solution.
Consult an authorized service technician if the receiver does not operate normally when the
instructions in this user manual are strictly followed. Do not to attempt to open the receiver, as
you will be exposed to a shock hazard.
Do not put any objects on top of the receiver which could fall through the ventilation slots or
which could cover them and prevent proper cooling of the components inside.
Do not put any (foreign) objects into the ventilation slots. This can cause fire or an electrical
shock by shorting the internal components.
Make sure that nothing rests on the receivers cables and that the cables are not located
where they can cause injury to persons and pets (e.g to stumble over, eat the cable).
Do not install the receiver:
■ in a closed or poorly ventilated cabinet;
■ directly on top of or under another equipment;
■ on a surface which will obstruct the ventilation slots.
Do not expose the receiver and it’s accessories:
■ to rain or excessive moisture to avoid the risk of shock or permanent damage to your
receiver;
■ to direct sunlight, heaters, stoves or any other heat generating equipment;
■ to any magnetic objects, such as speakers, electric motors, transformers, etc.;
■ to excessive vibration.
All rights reserved
To help avoid possible damage to the receiver’s electronics:
■ wait 5 seconds after you switched off the receiver before you move the receiver or
disconnect any equipment;

2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
When you use or connect electrical equipment, always obey the safety regulations as
applicable in your country, to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock and personal injury.
Read and comply at least with the given safety instructions.
■ Always make sure that the electrical power supply corresponds with the voltage on the
electrical identification plate at the rear of the receiver next to the electrical cord.
■ Your receiver is double insulated in compliance with the standards as stated in the
EC Declaration of Conformity; therefore no additional earth wire is required, though the
use of an earth leak switch and/or over voltage protection switch is recommended.
■ Only use an approved extension (convenience) lead suitable for the electrical power
consumption of the installed equipment.
