-Save these Instructions for later use.
-Follow all Warnings and Instructions marked on the audio equipment.
1)Read instructions — All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the product is operated.
2)Retain instructions — The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.
3)Heed Warnings — All warnings on the product and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.
4)Follow instructions — All operating and use instructions should be followed.
5)Cleaning — Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
6)Attachments — Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7)Water and Moisture — Do not use this product near water _ for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.
8)Accessories — Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any mounting of the product should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
9)A product and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart combination to overturn.
10)Ventilation — Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
11)Power Sources — This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
12)Grounding or Polarization — This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
13)Power-Cord Protection — Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.
14)Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of anten- na-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
"Note to CATV system installer:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

2.Accessories Mount screw kit
RC-D302 remote control unit Owner's manual
1-2. Memory backup
AUTO ID mode, AUTO ID detection level, memo point and menu setting data are all retained in the DA-302’s internal memory even when the power is turned off.
1-3. Installation and operation precautions
ÉDo not operate this deck when the temperature is outside the operating range of 5˚C to 35˚C. To prevent malfunctions, do not install this deck anywhere where it could be exposed to dust or subject to high humidity.
ÉDo not apply excessive force. This could damage the internal circuitry or the cabinet.
ÉUse a soft cloth (such as a silicone cloth) to clean the cabinet. If the unit is very dirty, wipe the dirt off with a cloth dipped in diluted detergent. Do not use solvents such as thinner and benzine as these can melt plastic or coated surfaces and fade characters inscribed on the panel.
ÉBecause of improvements in design and specifications, the product shown in illustrations in this manual may differ from the actual product.
For CANADA
Rack mounting
