3.Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

4.Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should be followed.

5.Water and Moisture - The appliance should not be used near water - for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub or swimming pool, or in a wet basement.

6.Carts and Stands - The appliance should be used only with a cart or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.

6A. 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.

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.

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 particular attention 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, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See figure on page 7.

16.Non-use 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.

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 typeplate is located at the rear of your system.

•When the system is switched on, do not move it around.

	SAFETY INFORMATION
•	Place the system on a solid base (e.g. a	English
	cabinet).
•	Place the system in a location with
	adequate ventilation to prevent internal
	heat build-up in the system.
•	The system incorporates a built-in
	safety feature that prevents
	overheating.
•	Do not expose the system to excessive
	moisture, rain, sand or heat sources.
•	Under no circumstances should you
	repair the system yourself, as this will
	invalidate the warranty!
•	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 system 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.
