Cable wiring
For your safety, unplug the AC power cord when wiring cables.
Take care not to catch your feet on the cables. It may damage the receiver.
Electric shock
Do not touch the AC power cord or the receiver with a wet hand. If you plug/unplug the AC power cord from the receiver with a wet hand, it may cause electric shock.
Lightning

CLEANING
sClean the AC power plug regularly.
sIf the plug is covered with dust and it picks
up moisture, its insulation may deteriorate and result in a fire.
s Unplug the AC power cord when cleaning this receiver. If not, it may result in electric
shock.
s Clean the casing of the receiver with a dry soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed
with a cloth slightly moistened with a solution of mild soap and warm water. Never use strong solvents such as thinner or benzine for cleaning.
sIf using a chemically pretreated cloth, please follow the instruction provided on the package.
sDust the ventilation holes with a dry cloth.
VENTILATION
The holes on the side of the receiver are provided for necessary ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the receiver, and to protect it from overheating, these ventilation holes must never be blocked or covered.
Unless proper ventilation is provided, the receiver may gather dust and get dirty. For proper ventilation, observe the following:
sNever block the ventilation holes by placing the receiver on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.
sNever place the receiver in a confined space, such as a bookcase or built-in cabinet, unless proper ventilation is provided.
Objects and ventilation holes
Never push objects of any kind into the receiver through the ventilation holes as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or an electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the receiver.
Do not place any objects on the receiver.
INSTALLATION
sThe receiver should be installed near an easily accessible power outlet.
sDo not install the receiver in a hot or humid place, or in a place subject to excessive dust or greasy vapor.

sWhen mounted to the back of TV, do not use the receiver as a handle to pick up the TV set.
sMake sure that the cord and connected cables are placed so that tripping or stumbling may be avoided.
SERVICING
Damage requiring service
If the surface of the receiver cracks, do not touch the receiver until you unplug the AC power cord.
Otherwise electric shock may result.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service the receiver yourself since opening the cabinet may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Replacement parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure to have the service technician certify in writing that he/she has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original parts.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in a fire, an electric shock or other hazards.
Safety check
Upon completion of any service or repairs to the receiver, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks (as specified by the manufacturer) to determine that the receiver is in safe operating condition, and to so certify.
