CAUTION

o DO NOT REMOVE THE EXTERNAL CASES OR CABINETS TO EXPOSE

THE ELECTRONICS. NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS ARE INSIDE.

o IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THIS PRODUCT,

CONTACT THE STORE WHERE YOU PURCHASED THE UNIT FOR
A SERVICE REFERRAL. DO NOT USE THE PRODUCT UNTIL IT HAS
BEEN REPAIRED.

o USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENTS OR PERFORMANCE OF

PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY RESULT
IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.

equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the
product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magni­tude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in
the literature accompanying the appliance.

1) Read these instructions.

2) Keep these instructions.

3) Heed all warnings.

4) Follow all instructions.

5) Do not use this apparatus near water.

6) Clean only with dry cloth.

7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.

8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat

registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.

9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-

type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than
the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third
grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are pro­vided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your
outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete
outlet.

10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched par­ticularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the apparatus.

11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.

12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table specified by the man­ufacturer, or sold with the apparatus.
When a cart is used, use caution when
moving the cart/apparatus combination
to avoid injury from tip-over.

13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused
for long periods of time.

14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is
required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way,
such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been
spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus
has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate nor­mally, or has been dropped.

o The apparatus draws nominal non-operating power from the

AC outlet with its POWER or STANDBY/ON switch not in the ON
position.

o The power plugs are used as disconnect devices; the disconnect

devices shall remain readily operable.

o Caution should be taken when using earphones or headphones

with the product because excessive sound pressure (volume)
from earphones or headphones can cause hearing loss.

2

CAUTION

o Do not expose this apparatus to drips or splashes.
o Do not place any objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on

the apparatus.

o Do not install this apparatus in a confined space such as a

book case or similar unit.

o The apparatus should be located close enough to the AC

outlet so that you can easily reach the power cord plug at any
time.

o If the product uses batteries (including a battery pack or

installed batteries), they should not be exposed to sunshine,
fire or excessive heat.

o CAUTION for products that use replaceable lithium batter-

ies: there is danger of explosion if a battery is replaced with
an incorrect type of battery. Replace only with the same or
equivalent type.

WARNING

Products with Class ! construction are equipped with a power
supply cord that has a grounding plug. The cord of such a prod­uct must be plugged into an AC outlet that has a protective
grounding connection.

IN USA/CANADA, USE ONLY ON 120 V SUPPLY.

V

Precautions concerning batteries

Misuse of batteries could cause them to rupture or leak leading to
fire, injury or the staining of nearby things. Please read and observe
the following precautions carefully.

o Be sure to insert the batteries with correct positive (¥) and

negative (^) orientations.

o Use batteries of the same type. Never use different types of bat-

teries together.

o If the remote control is not used for a long time (more than a

month), remove the batteries to prevent them from leaking.

o If the batteries leak, wipe away the leakage inside the battery

compartment and replace the batteries with new ones.

o Do not use batteries of types other than those specified. Do not

mix new batteries with old ones or use different types of batter­ies together.

o Do not heat or disassemble batteries. Never throw batteries into

fire or water.

o Do not carry or store batteries with other metallic objects. The

batteries could short circuit, leak or explode.

o Never recharge a battery unless it is confirmed to be a recharge-

able type.

For European Customers

Disposal of electrical and electronic equipment
and batteries and/or accumulators

a) All electrical/electronic equipment and waste batteries/

accumulators should be disposed of separately from the
municipal waste stream via collection facilities designated by
the government or local authorities.

b) By disposing of electrical/electronic equipment and waste

batteries/accumulators correctly, you will help save valuable
resources and prevent any potential negative effects on
human health and the environment.

c) Improper disposal of waste electrical/electronic equipment

and batteries/accumulators can have serious effects on the
environment and human health because of the presence of
hazardous substances in the equipment.

d) The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)

symbols, which show wheeled bins that have been
crossed out, indicate that electrical/electronic equip­ment and batteries/accumulators must be collected
and disposed of separately from household waste.
If a battery or accumulator contains more than the
specified values of lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), and/or
cadmium (Cd) as defined in the Battery Directive
(2006/66/EC), then the chemical symbols for those
elements will be indicated beneath the WEEE symbol.

e) Return and collection systems are available to end users. For

more detailed information about the disposal of old electri­cal/electronic equipment and waste batteries/accumulators,

Before use Maintenance

V

Precautions for use

o Do not install this unit in a location that could become hot.

This includes places that are exposed to direct sunlight or near
a radiator, heater, stove or other heating equipment. Moreover,
do not place it on top of an amplifier or other equipment that
generates heat. Doing so could cause discoloration, deformation
or malfunction.

o Avoid locations that are extremely cold or exposed to excessive

humidity or dust.

o When installing this unit, leave a little space (at least 3 cm or 8")

between it and walls and other devices in order to allow good
heat dissipation. If you put it in a rack, for example, leave at least
5 cm (2") open above it and at least 10 cm (4") open behind it.
Failure to provide these gaps could cause heat to build up inside
and result in fire.

o Place the unit in a stable location near the audio system that you

will use with it.

o DO NOT place anything, not even CDs, CD-Rs, LP records or cas-

sette tapes, on top of the units. Doing so could cause damage.

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.
o Do not move the unit during use.
o Do not open the body of the unit because this could result in

damage to the circuitry or cause electric shock. If a foreign object

should enter 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.

Wipe dirt from the top cover and other panel surfaces using a
soft cloth that has been slightly dampened with a diluted neutral
cleanser.
Do not wipe with chemical cleaning cloths, thinner or other chemi­cal agents. Doing so could damage the surface.

For your safety, disconnect the power cord from
the socket before cleaning.
