MATERIALS DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE VENTILATION
CONDITION TO PREVENT RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
OR FIRE HAZARD DUE TO OVERHEATING.
Power cord protection
•Avoid cuts, scratches or poor connection of the AC power cord, as
this may result in fire or electric shock.
Excessive bending, pulling or slicing of the cord should also be
avoided,
• Do not pull on the cord when you are disconnecting the power, as
this could cause an electric shock. Grasp the plug firmly when you
disconnect the power supply.

Connections
Before making connections, be sure that this unit and all other
system components are turned off. Q
White (L)
Red (R)
(For United Kingdom only)
BE SURE TO READ THE CAUTION FOR THE AC MAINS LEAD ON PAGE 3 BEFORE THE FOLLOWING CONNECTIONS.
Although the figure shows the AC power supply cord being
connected to a household AC outlet, if the amplifier (or receiver) is
equipped with a AC outlet, connect the cord to that outlet.
Insertion of connector Q
Even when the connector is perfectly inserted, depending on the
type of inlet used, the front part of the connector may jut out as
shown in the drawing.
However there is no problem using the unit.
Digital connection Q
Remove the dust-protection cap and connect this unit to other
digital equipment with an optical fibre terminal, such as a receiver
or digital surround processor.
* Leave the cap attached when this terminal is not being used.
For your reference
If you have DTS format CDs, you can enjoy six channel playback
by connecting this unit to a receiver or digital surround processor
that has a DTS decoder.
Use only the optical fibre terminal when playing back DTS format
discs. DTS signals can only be correctly output through the digital
terminal. Connection through the stereo LINE OUT terminals will
result in noise and could possibly damage your speakers.
