1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Safety Instructions

DO NOT INSTALL YOUR RECEIVER:

n In a closed or poorly ventilated cabinet; directly on top of or under any another equipment; on

a surface which might obstruct the ventilation slots.

DO NOT EXPOSE THE RECEIVER OR ITS ACCESSORIES:

n To direct sunlight or near any other equipment that generates heat; to rain or intense moisture;

to intense vibration or to any shock which may cause permanent damage to your receiver or to
any magnetic objects, such as loudspeakers, transformers, etc.

n Do not use a damaged power cord. It may cause a fire or an electrical shock. Do not touch the

power cord with wet hands. It may cause an electric shock.

n Never open the cover. It is dangerous to touch the inside of the receiver due to high voltage,

currents and possible electrical hazards. Your warranty will be void if the receiver has been opened.

n When the receiver is not used for a long period of time, you should switch OFF the receiver

(Power Switch) and unplug the power cord from the wall socket.

n 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 main power supply. Make sure no foreign objects fall through the
ventilation slots because this could cause fire or an electric shock.

n Do not place any objects on top of the receiver because this might prevent proper cooling of

the components inside.

Safety Precautions

n Do not open the receiver cover, as you will be exposed to a shock hazard. It will also void your

warranty. Refer all maintenance or servicing to suitably qualified personnel

n When you are connecting the cables, be sure that the receiver is disconnected from the mains

supply voltage. Wait a few seconds after switching off the receiver before you move the receiver
or disconnect any equipment.

n It is a necessity that you only use an approved extension and 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.

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. When transporting the receiver from one place to another or if you are
returning it under warranty make sure to repack the receiver in its original packaging with its accessories.
Failing to comply with such packaging procedures could void your warranty.
