Grounding or Polarization
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 and plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the amplifier.
Power Lines
In case of connecting a tuner, an outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines. If
an outside antenna is connected to the system, be sure the antenna is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage surges and built up of static charges.
Lighting
Consonance hi-fi system can be damaged by lightning. Power amplifiers are particularly at
risk and therefore should be turned off when there is risk of lightning strike. For complete
protection all mains plugs and any aerial cables should be disconnected when not in use.
Cleaning
Never clean with furniture polish, benzene, or volatile liquids. Dust periodically with a clean,
soft paint brush. Fingerprints can be removed with a moist polishing cloth.
Speaker Impedance
For best performance, the load presented by the speaker has to match the M100SPLUS’s
output impedance per channel. Refer to the speaker’s manufacturer handbook for information
on the nominal impedance. The M100SPLUS is factory set to match the speakers at 8 ohms
Ventilation
The equipment should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its
proper ventilation.
1. The equipment must not be placed on bed, sofa, or similar surfaces, that may block the
ventilation openings,
2. The equipment must not be placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet
that may impede the flow of air.
3. The equipment should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat
register, stoves, or other electronic appliances that produce heat. This equipment is not
intended for commercial use.
Water and Moisture
The equipment should not be used near water, e.g., near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink,
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool etc. Similarly, do not placed objects
filled with liquid, such as vases on top of the equipment.
