Important Safety Precautions!

General:

1. Unpacking: Check the product carefully.

If it has been damaged in transit, report the
damage immediately by calling your dealer
and/or the shipping company that deliv­ered it.

2. Connections: Whenever changing, con­necting or disconnecting signal or power
cables etc., always turn off all equipment.
This prevents transients from entering the
equipment and prevents electrical energy
from reaching you. Keep all connections
out of the reach of children. Before moving
the unit, be certain to disconnect any
interconnection cords with other compo­nents, and make certain that you discon­nect any powered units from the AC outlet.

3. Read Instructions. All the safety and
operating instructions should be read
before the product is operated.

4. Retain Instructions. The safety and ope­rating instructions should be retained for
future reference.

should be adhered to.

6. Follow Instructions. All operating and
use instructions should be followed.

7. Water and Moisture. The product should
not be used near water – for example, near
a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry
tub, in a wet basement, or near a swim­ming pool, and the like.

8. Accessories. To ensure proper operation
and to avoid the potential for safety haz­ards, place the unit on a firm and level sur­face. When placing the unit on a shelf, be
certain that the shelf and any mounting
hardware can support the product’s

Passive Products:

18. Amplifiers: Amplifiers used to drive

these units must deliver a sufficient output
power. A lack of output power may lead to
amplifier-clipping, which causes damage
not covered by guarantee.

Active (Powered) Products:

19. Ventilation. Slots and openings in the

cabinet are provided for ventilation and to
ensure reliable operation of the product
and to protect it from overheating, and
these openings must not be blocked or
covered. The openings should never be
blocked by placing the product on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This
product should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase or rack
unless proper ventilation is provided or the
manufacturer’s instructions have been
adhered to Make certain that the proper
space (more than 10cm) is provided both
above and below the unit for ventilation. If
the amplifier will be installed in a cabinet
or other enclosed area, make certain that
there is sufficient air movement within the
cabinet, with means provided for hot air to
exit and for cool air to be brought in.

Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the
top of the unit or place objects directly
over them. Remember, power amplifiers
generate heat, and the heatsink fins and
ventilation slots that form part of the cabi­net are specially designed to remove this
heat. Placing other electronic equipment

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

CAUTION: To prevent electric shock,

do not remove the grounding plug
on the power cord, or use any plug

or extension cord that does not have

a grounding plug provided.

Make certain that the

AC outlet is properly grounded.

Do not use an adapter plug

with this product.

The lightning flash with arrowhead
symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is
intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated “dangerous
voltage” within the product’s enclosure
that may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock to
persons.

The exclamation point within an
equilateral triangle is intended to alert
the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.

near these heat-dissipation systems may
possibly affect the long term reliability of
both your amplifier and the objects placed
above it.

Do not place CDs, record jackets, owner’s
manuals or other paper on top of or
beneath the unit or in between products
containing amplifiers in a stack. This will
block the air flow, causing degraded per­formance and a possible fire hazard.

20. Power Sources. This product should be
operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the marking label. If
you are not sure of the type of power sup­ply to your home, consult your product
dealer or local power company. For prod­ucts intended to operate from battery
power, or other sources, refer to the oper­ating instructions.

21. Grounding or Polarization. This product
may be equipped with a polarized alternat­ing-current line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other). This plug will
fit into the power outlet only one way. This
is a safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug should still
fail to fit, contact your electrician to
replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.

22. Power-Cord Protection. Power-supply
cords should be routed so that they are not
likely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against them, paying parti­cular attention to cords at plugs, con­venience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the product. To avoid safety
hazards, use only the power cord supplied
with your unit. If a replacement cord is
used, make certain that it is of a similar
gauge. We do not recommend using exten­sion cords with this product. As with all
electrical devices, do not run power cords
under rugs or carpets or place heavy
objects on power cords. Damaged power
cords should be replaced immediately, by a
qualified service technician, with cords
meeting factory specifications. When dis­connecting the power cord from an AC
outlet, always pull the plug; never pull the
cord.

23. Non-use Periods. The power cord of
the product should be unplugged from the
outlet when left unused for long periods of
time.

24. Lightning. For added protection for this
product during a lightning storm, or when it
is left unattended and unused for long peri­ods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet
and disconnect the antenna or cable sys­tem. This will prevent damage to the prod­uct due to lightning and power-line surges.

25. Overloading. Do not overload wall out­lets, extension cords, or integral conven­ience receptacles, as this can result in a
risk of fire or electric shock.

26. Damage Requiring Service. Do not
attempt to service this product yourself, as
opening or removing covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Unplug this product from the wall outlet
and refer servicing to qualified service per­sonnel under the following conditions:

a. The power-supply cord or the plug has

been damaged; or

b. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been

spilled into, the product; or

c. The product has been exposed to rain or

water; or

d. The product does not operate normally

when following the operating instruc­tions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions, as
an improper adjustment of other controls
may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the product to its
normal operation; or

e. The product has been dropped, or the

enclosure damaged; or

f. The product does not appear to operate

normally or exhibits a marked change in
performance.

27. Object and Liquid Entry. Never push
objects of any kind into this product
through openings, as they may touch dan­gerous voltage points or short-out parts
that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the prod­uct. The apparatus shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing and no objects filled
with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed
on the apparatus.

28. Heat. The product should be situated
away from heat sources such as radiators,
heat registers, stoves or other products
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold
locations, in an area that is exposed to
direct sunlight or near heating equipment.
When positioning the product in its final
location, make certain that it has adequate
ventilation on all sides, as well as on the
top and bottom.
