PRECAUTIONS
Safety
• Check that the operating voltage
of
your unit
is
identical with the voltage of your local power supply.
The European model (Type
1)
operates on 220 V AC.
The United Kingdom
model (Type
2)
operates on 240
V
AC.
The model for United States (Type 3) operates on 120
V
AC.
• This unit has high-voltage components. Should repairs
be required do not open the unit yourself ; refer
servicing
to
qualified personnel.
• Unplug
the unit from the wall
outlet
when not
in
use
for extended periods of time. To disconnect the cord,
pull it out
by
grasping the plug. Never pull the cord
itself.
Installation
• Do not situate the unit on uneven surfaces, unstable
furniture, places where
it
might be subject
to
mechanical vibration, and where objects might fall on
it.
Also do not locate
it
in damp
or
humid places and
areas where dust is
likely
to
accumulate.
Do
not
expose it to direct sunlight, extreme cold or heat.
• Good ventilation is essential
to
prevent
heat
build up
inside the unit.
Make
sure you locate it in a well-
ventilated
room and do not set
it
on rugs, bedding or
cloth-covered furnishings.
Do
not place anything
on
top
of
the
cabinet;
the top ventilation slots must be
unobstructed for adequate air
circulation.
•
Take
particular care not
to
set other components,
especially tuners, radios and TV sets, on top
or
beneath the PCM unit. This could cause interference
in radio and
television reception.

components, unplug the power cord and make sure
the power switch
is
off.
• Use
of
vacuum cleaners, electric shavers,
transceivers,and
similar devices in the vicinity
of
the
unit may cause noise interference and inadvertently
activate the muting circuitry.
• When not using .the unit, turn the power
off
to
conserve energy and to prolong its audio life.
Cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls periodically with a
soft cloth, lightly moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Never use rough cloths or abrasive padding
to
clean the unit. Also avoid use
of
strong cleaners such
as scouring powder
of
thinner, and solvents such as
alcohol or benzine .
Repacking
Do not throw
out
the carton and packing material when
practical. The carton makes
an
ideal container for
