Carts and Stands - The appliance should be used only with a cart or stand that is
recommended by the manufacturer.
6A.
7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only
as recommended by the manufacturer.
8. Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that its location or position does not
interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be situated
on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed
in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air
through the ventilation openings.
9. Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators,
heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
10. Power Sources - The appliance should be connected to a power supply only of the
type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.
11. Grounding or Polarization - Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or
polarization means of an appliance is not defeated.
An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause
the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, match the
wide blade of this plug to the wide slot and fully insert
Do not use this (polarized) plug with an extension cord,
receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can be fully
inserted to prevent blade exposure.
12. 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 particularattention to cords and plugs, convenience receptacles,
and the point where they exit from the appliance.
13. Cleaning - The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended by the
manufacturer.
14. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines.
15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to the
receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides
information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding connectors, iocation of antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure
below.
16. Nonuse Periods - The power cord of the appliance should be unplugged
from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.
17. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do not fall
and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.
18. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serviced by qualified
service personnel when:
A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has spilled into the appliance; or
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked
change in performance; or
E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
19. Servicing - The user should not attempt to service the appliance beyond that
described in the operating instructions. All other servicing should be referred
to qualified sen/ice personnel.

Safety Information
Before operating the system, check that the operating
voltage indicated on the typeplate (or the voltage
indication beside the'voltage selector) of your system is
identical with the voltage of your local power supply. If
not, please consult your dealer. The type plate is
located at the rear of your system.
When the system is switched on, do not move it
around.
Place the system on a solid base (e.g. a cabinet).
Place the system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in your
system.
Do not expose the system to excessive moisture, rain,
sand or heat sources.
Under no circumstances should you repair the unit
yourself, as this will invalidate the warrantyl
If the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm
location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture
may condense on the lens of the CD unit inside the
system. Should this occur, the CD player will not
operate normally. Leave the power on for about one
hour with no disc in the unit until normal playback is
possible.
Electrostatic discharge may cause unexpected
problems. See whether these problems disappear if you
unplug the AC power cord and plug it in again after a
few seconds.
To disconnect the system from the power supply
completely, remove the AC power plug from the
wall socket.
