it is not pinched or crushed.
Never take hold of the plug or cord if your hand

scribed in the operating instructions or service manual.
Warning
To guard against injury, the following basic safety precautions should be observed in the
installation, use, and servicing of the set.
Lightning
For added protection when using this speaker
unit during a lightning storm, or when it is left
unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent
damage to the receiver due to lightning and
power line surges.

inside this unit.
Don’t place small metal objects or anything
containing liquid on or near the unit.

cabinets, or where curtains of furniture may
obstruct the ventilation openings.

Polarization
If this unit is equipped with a polarized AC line
plug (a plug having one blade wider that the
other), that plug will fit into the power outlet only
one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug or if the plug should still
fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace the
obsolete outlet.
If the unit will not be used for a long time, turn
the set off. When the set is left unattended and
unused for long periods of time, unplug it from
the wall outlet as a precaution against the possibility of an internal malfunction that could
create a fire hazard.

the unit to rain or moisture.
