Caution for AC mains iead

(For United Kingdom)

(“EB” area code model only)

The “EB” indication is shown on the serial number tag.

For your safety, please read the following text care­ fully.

This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for your safety and convenience.

A 5-ampere fuse is fitted in this plug.

Should the fuse need to be replaced please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 5-ampere and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362. Check for the ASTA mark ^ or the BSI mark ^ on the body of the fuse.

If the plug contains a removable fuse cover you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced.

If you lose the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained.

A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your local dealer.

CAUTION!

IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UN­ SUITABLE FOR THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME THEN THE FUSE SHOULD BE REMOVED AND THE PLUG CUT OFF AND DISPOSED OF SAFELY.

THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE ELEC­ TRICAL SHOCK IF THE CUT OFF PLUG IS INSERTED INTO ANY 13-AMPERE SOCKET.

If a new plug is to be fitted please observe the wiring code as shown below.

If in any doubt please consult a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accor­ dance with the following code:

Blue: Neutral Brown: Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, pro­ ceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK.

The wire which is coloured BROWN must be con­ nected to the terminal which is marked with the letter Lor coloured RED,

Under no circumstances should either of these wires be connected to the earth terminal of the three pin plug marked with the letter E or the Earth Symbol -tL.

Before use

Remove the connector cover as follows.

How to replace the fuse

1. Remove the fuse cover with a screwdriver.

2, Replace the fuse and attach the fuse cover.

Suggestions for Safety

■ Use a standard AC wall outlet

1.Use from an AC power source of high voltage, such as that used for an air conditioner, is very dangerous.

A fire might be caused by such a connection.

2.A DC power source cannot be used.

Be sure to check the power source carefully, especially on a ship or other place where DC is used.

■ Grasp the plug when disconnecting the power supply cord

1.Wet hands are dangerous.

A dangerous electric shock may result if the plug is touched by wet hands.

2.Never place heavy Items on top of the power supply cord, nor force it to bend sharply.

■Place the unit where it will be well ventilated

Place this unit at least 10 cm (4") away from wall surfaces, etc.

Be careful that curtains and similar materials do not obstruct the ventilation holes.

■ Avoid places such as the following:

In direct sunlight or in other places where the temperature is high.

In places where there is excessive vibration or humidity.

Such conditions might damage the cabinet and/or other component parts and thereby shorten the unit's service life.

■ Be sure to place the unit on a fiat, level surface.

If the surface is inclined, a malfunction may result.

■ Never attempt to repair nor reconstruct this unit

A serious electric shock might occur if this unit is repaired, dis­ assembled or reconstructed by unauthorized persons, or if the internal parts are accidentally touched.

■ Take particular care if children are present

Never permit children to put anything, especially metal, inside this unit. A serious electric shock or malfunction could occur if articles such as coins, needles, screwdrivers, etc. are inserted through the ventilation holes, etc, of this unit.

■ If water is spilled on the unit

Be extremely careful if water is spilled on the unit, because a fire or serious electric shock might occur. Immediately disconnect the power cord plug, and consult with your dealer.

■ Avoid spray-type insecticides

Insecticides might cause cracks or "cloudiness” in the cabinet and plastic parts of this unit. The gas used in such sprays might, moreover, be ignited suddenly,

■ Never use alcohol or paint thinner

These and similar chemicals should never be used, because they might cause flaking or cloudiness of the cabinet finish.

■ Disconnect the power supply cord if the unit will not be used for a long time

If the unit is left for a long time with the power ON, this not only will shorten its useful operation life, but also may cause other trouble.

■ If trouble occurs

If, during operation, the sound is interrupted or indicators no longer illuminate, or if an abnormal odour or smoke is detected, im­ mediately disconnect the power cord plug, and contact with your dealer or an Authorized Service Center.

Before Use

(For areas except Continental Europe, Australia, New Zealand)

Be sure to disconnect the mains cord before adjusting the voltage selector.

Use a minus (-) screwdriver to set the voltage selector (on the rear panel) to the voltage setting for the area in which the unit will be used.

(If the power supply in your area is 117 V or 120 V, set to the "127 V" position.)

Note that this unit will be seriously damaged if this setting is not made correctly. (There is no voltage selector for some countries; the correct voltage is already set.)

Concerning the Remote Control

I Battery installation

1 Open the cover.

Press gently and slide the cover out.

2 Insert the batteries included with this system.

•When you need to replace these batteries, use two UM-4 “AAA”, lEC R03 (1.5 V) or equivalent batteries.

•Be sure that you insert the batteries so that their positive C+) and negative (~) polarities match the polarities indicated in the compartment. Batteries installed incorrectly may leak and cause damage.

•Refer to “Use of batteries" for additional Information.

Use of batteries

• Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of different types (carbon and alkaline, etc.).

•The average battery life is about one year. Although the battery life varies depending on how often the device is used, you should generally replace the batteries about once a year.

•Replace the batteries if commands from the remote control trans­ mitter do not operate the unit even when the transmitter is held close to the front panel.

•Never subject batteries to excessive heat or flame; do not attempt to disassemble them; and be sure they are not short-circuited.

•If you will not be using the remote control for a long period of time, remove the batteries and store them in a cool, dark place.

3 Close the cover.

• If a battery leaks, remove all batteries and dispose of them prop­ erly. Thoroughly clean the battery compartment before inserting new batteries.

If the leaking electrolyte comes into contact with skin or clothes, flush with water immediately.

•Keep batteries out of the reach of children.

•Do not use rechargeable-type (nickel-cadmium) batteries.

•Do not attempt to recharge alkaline or carbon batteries. •Always remove old, weak, or worn-out batteries promptly and

dispose of them properly.

•Do not dispose of used batteries in household rubbish.

Operation notes

Amplifier

Aim the remote control transmission window toward the amplifier’s sensor. Avoid any obstacles.

Amplifier

7meters

•Use the remote control within a 60-degree angle of the amplifier. •The reachable distance is within 7 meters directly facing toward

the amplifier.

Amplifier

Avoid dust

• Be sure the transmission window and the amplifier's sensor are free from dust. Excessive dust might prevent reception.

•If direct sunlight or other strong tight source strikes the remote control signal sensor part of the amplifier, it may impair the remote control’s operation. If there is a problem, place the amplifier away from the light source.

•If this system is installed in a rack with glass doors, the glass doors’ thickness or color might make it necessary to use the remote-control transmitter a shorter distance from the system.
