WARNING : To avoid the danger of suffocation, keep plastic bags out of the reach of
children.
This product is an amplifier which has been designed using time domain theory in
order to maximize speaker operation and performance.
What is time domain theory?
Time domain recreates the changes that occur in sound waves over time from the moment of output until their disappearance. Its purpose is to reproduce those sound waves that are as close as possible to the original recorded sound. Time domain audio systems allow sound orientation and the nuances that are added by recorded performers to be faithfully reproduced.

9. Moving the unit
10. Power cord
11. Unit plug
Do not place the unit in direct sunlight, near heating equipment or close to open flames. Fire accident or malfunction may result. Do not place the unit in locations exposed to cold air or direct draft. Condensation, leakage current or thermal damage may result. Do not use the unit in dusty or dirty locations. Decreased heat ventilation can cause thermal damage or fire.
The bottom and sides of the unit can heat up during use and should not be touched. Burns may result. Only connect or disconnect speaker cables after the power supply has cooled down.
When moving the unit, shut off power to all connected equipment, and disconnect power cords, connection cables, speaker cables and other wires. Moving the unit while cables are connected can cause damage to cables, fire or electric shock. The unit is heavy and care should be taken when unpacking, moving or lifting. Manufacturing also creates sharp areas on the unit; use thorough care in handling. Because the volume knob can be separated
from the amplifier, never hold the volume knob when moving the amplifier.
Only use the power cord supplied and do not bend, twist,modify it for repair, or pin it under the unit. Heavy objects, heat or tension may also damage the power cord and cause fire or electric shock. When disconnecting the power cord from an outlet, do not pull the cord. Pulling on the cord can damage it and cause fire or electric shock. Do not touch the power cord with wet hands. Do not place the power cord near heating equipment and do not use the unit. If the plug fits loosely in an electric outlet or the plug or cord is hot. If the cord is damaged, replace it as continued use may result in fire or electric shock.
Insert the plug into an outlet all the way to its base. Incomplete insertion can cause heat production, and dust build-up can cause fire. Contact with the prongs of the plug can also cause electric shock. Do not connect the unit to an outlet where the connection is loose even when the plug is inserted all the way to its base. Do not use the unit if the plug is hot. Heat production can cause fire. If dust or metal accumulates on or near the prongs
of the plug, wipe the plug with a dry cloth after disconnection. Continued use may cause fire or electric shock.
12. Danger signs
If you notice a strange noise, smoke, unusual odour or other abnormal condition, shut off the unit, disconnect the power cord from the outlet and have the unit inspected. Continued use may result in fire or electric shock.
13. Electric storms
During electrical storms disconnect the unit and avoid contact with the antenna and power cord. Lightning can cause fire, electric shock, and malfunction.
14. Internal temperature rise
To avoid internal temperature rise when installing the unit, leave space between the unit and walls or other equipment. When installed in a rack or similar fixture, leave a 10cm (4") or larger gap on top and at sides since internal temperature rise can result in fire. The unit is provided with ventilation holes to prevent internal temperature rise. Blockage of these holes decreases ventilation and can result in fire. Note the following.
Do not place the unit in a poorly ventilated areaDo not place the unit on carpeting or on beddingDo not obstruct the ventilation holesDo not tilt the unit or turn upside down
15. Extended non-use
If the unit is likely to be unused for an extended period, shut off power and disconnect from power supply.
16. Volume Adjustment
If abnormal noise is produced during play at high volume, reduce the volume level. Distorted sound can cause overheating of speakers and amplifier. Before switching power supply on, set the amplifier volume to minimum. Sudden, loud noise can cause damage to hearing.
17. Connecting TV/other audio equipment
When connecting a TV or other audio equipment, always shut off power, read the operating manual for each device and follow the instructions for connection. Use only designated cables. Use of non-designated cables or extension cables can cause heat production, burns, and fire.
18. Antenna
An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines.

Notes on Use
Volume Setting
Before switching ON minimise the volume. Sudden, large output can damage the speakers.
Volume Etiquette
To avoid disturbance in your neighbourhood, enjoy your unit at an appropriate volume. Remember that at night, even low volume carries into surrounding areas. Help to maintain a pleasant living environment.
Speaker Cord Connection
Always connect speaker systems with power OFF. If a speaker cable is inadvertently shorted, the protection circuit in the amplifier will operate, and audio output will stop temporarily. In this event, disconnect the power cord from the outlet, correct the shorted area and reconnect the power cord to the outlet.
Power supply
This product is equipped with vibration countermeasures and a tone-quality adjustment and has been designed to provide a sense of integration when the amplifier is placed on top of the power supply. The setup location has to be well ventilated and dry.
Volume knob
Attach the volume knob to the amplifier as shown in the following figure.
