Precautions

On power sources

• AC power cord must be changed only at a qualified service shop.

• Install this system so that the AC power cord (mains lead) can be unplugged from the wall outlet (mains) immediately in the event of trouble.

On placement

• Do not place the system in locations that are hot and subject to direct sunlight, dusty, very humid, or extremely cold.

• Use caution when placing the system on a specially treated (waxed, oiled, polished, etc.) floor, as staining or discoloration may result.

• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat buildup.

• Do not place the system on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation slots.

• Do not install the system near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.

• Do not install the system in an inclined position. It is designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.

• Keep the system away from equipment with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.

• Do not place heavy objects on the system.

• If you use more than one set of S-AIR products, position them away from each other to avoid cross talk.

• Install this surround amplifier and S-AIR

products at least 50 cm away from people.

• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place

objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus.

• Do not place the system on carpet, as

discoloration may result.

• If you use more than one surround amplifier, do

not place one on top of the other.

On cleaning

Clean the cabinets only with a soft dry cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzene.

Safety

• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet (mains) if you do not intend to use it for an extended period of time. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug, never by the cord.
