1.1 Safety Instructions
DO NOT INSTALL YOUR RECEIVER:
In a closed or poorly ventilated cabinet; directly on top of or under any other equipment; on a surface
which might obstruct the ventilation slots.
DO NOT EXPOSE THE RECEIVER OR ITS ACCESSORIES:
Safety Precautions
1.2 Storage
Your receiver and its accessories are stored and delivered in a packaging designed to protect against
electric shocks and moisture. When unpacking it, make sure that all the parts are included and keep
the packaging away from children. For transporting the receiver from one place to another or if you
are returning it under warranty conditions, make sure to repack the receiver in its original packaging
with its accessories. Failing to comply with such packaging procedures could void your warranty.
To direct sunlight or any other equipment that generates heat; to rain or intense
moisture; to intense vibration and to any shock which may cause permanent damage
to your receiver or to any magnetic objects, such as loudspeakers, transformers, etc.
Do not use a damaged power cord. It may cause a fire or an electrical shock. Do not
touch a power cord with wet hands. It may cause an electric shock.
When the receiver is not used for a long period of time, you should unplug the power
cord from the wall socket.
Do not use alcohol or ammonia based liquids to clean the receiver. If you wish, you
may clean your receiver with a soft lint-free cloth slightly made damp with a mild
soap solution, only after disconnecting from the mains voltage supply. Make sure no
foreign objects fall through the ventilation slots because this could cause fire or an
electric shock.
Do not place any objects on top of the receiver because this might prevent proper
cooling of the components inside.
Never open the receiver cover. Doing so will void the warranty. It is dangerous to touch
the inside of the receiver due to high voltage currents and possible electrical hazards.
Refer all maintenance or servicing to qualified service personnel.
When you are connecting cables, be sure that the receiver is disconnected from the
mains supply. Wait a few seconds after switching off the receiver before you move the
receiver or disconnect any equipment.
Use only approved extension cords with compatible wiring that is suitable for the
electrical power consumption of the installed equipment. Please ensure that the
electrical power supply corresponds with the voltage on the electrical identification
plate at the back of the receiver.
If the receiver does not operate normally even after strictly following the instructions in
this user manual, it is recommended to consult your dealer.
