convenience receptacles, and the point where it is attached to the apparatus.
11. Use only the attachments/accessories specified.

time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the

Operation
Make certain that speakers and input sources are properly connected before switching
on.
Keep volume levels turned down before switching on.
NOTE: The system’s operation is delayed by approximately three seconds after pressing
the power switch. This is due to the built-in protection circuitry, designed to protect
speakers and other system components.
