Your receiver has been manufactured to meet the appropriate safety standards, but the instructions below must be followed to operate it safely. These instructions must be kept for future reference.

- Before connecting the receiver to the mains, check that the mains supply voltage corresponds to the voltage printed on the rear of the receiver. If the mains voltage is different, consult the dealer.

- The receiver does not contain any user-serviceable parts. All maintenance work must be carried out by qualified personnel.

- If you disconnect the receiver from the mains, make sure to unplug it from the wall socket and not just from the AC socket at the back of the unit. Children could seriously injure themselves, as the free end of the cable is still alive.

- Unplug the receiver during lightning storms.

- To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this equipment to rain or moisture.

- The receiver should be placed on a firm surface, and the ventilation openings must not be covered with items, such as newspapers, table clothes, curtains, etc.

- Do not install the receiver near any heat sources such as radiators, stoves or other apparatus that produce heat. Protect it from direct sunlight.

- When installing the receiver, ensure there is a gap of approximately 2.5 cm around the receiver to enable air to circulate freely and prevent overheating.

- Leave accessible the mains connector at the back of the unit in case emergency shutdown is required.

- Do not place any combustible objects on the receiver (candles, etc.).

- No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the unit. The receiver shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing. Should this happen, disconnect your receiver from the mains and consult your dealer.

- Make sure that children do not place any foreign objects in any of the openings.

- For cleaning, use a soft, damp (not wet) cloth. Never use any abrasive cloth and aerosol cleaners.
