PRECAUTIONS

exterior damage to the unit. If damage is noted, notify the carrier at
once so that a claim can be justified. Save all packing material. This
is important when the claim is processed.
2. Ventilation
To offset heat generated by the unit, it is necessary to provide ample
ventilation around the unit. Avoid blocking or impeding the
ventilation holes on the unit. To prevent unnecessary problems,
install the unit in a place free from any vibrations, direct sunlight,
humidity or dust circulation.
3. Prevent liquids or other materials to enter cabinet
If the unit gets wet or any foreign material enters the amplifier
cabinet, immediately disconnect the AC power cord and consult your
