avoid locations that are subject to vibra­tions or exposed to excessive dust, cold or
moisture.

o Place the unit in a stable location near the

audio system that you will use with it.

o As the unit could become warm during

operation, always leave sufficient space
around it for ventilation. When installing this
unit, leave a little space (at least 5 cm or 2")
between it and walls and other devices in
order to allow good heat dissipation. When
placing it in a rack, for example, leave at least
5 cm (2") open above it and 10 cm (4") open
behind it. Failure to provide these gaps could
cause heat to build up inside and result in
fire.

o You may stack this unit with a UD-301 or

other H01 series units. However, if heat
should cause the protection circuit to be
activated and sound output stops suddenly,
place this unit on top and with sufficient
distance between it and walls and other

devices in order to improve heat dissipation.
o Do not move the unit during use.
o The voltage supplied to the unit should

match the voltage printed on the rear panel.

If you are in any doubt regarding this matter,

consult an electrician.

might result in damage to the circuitry or

cause electric shock. If a foreign object

should get into the unit, contact your dealer.
o When removing the power plug from the

wall outlet, always pull directly on the plug;

never yank on the cord.

o If a TV is turned on while the unit is on, static

might appear on the TV screen depending
on the characteristics of the TV broadcast
signal. This is not a malfunction of the unit
nor of the TV. If this occurs, put the unit into
standby.

Maintenance

If the surface of the unit becomes dirty, wipe it
with a soft dry cloth. If the unit becomes very
dirty, dampen a soft cloth slightly with a diluted
neutral cleanser and thoroughly wring out any
excess fluid before using the cloth to wipe the
