1.0 INSTRUCTION

1.1 Safety Instructions

DO NOT INSTALL YOUR RECEIVER:

 In a closed or poorly ventilated cabinet; directly on top of or under any other

equipment; on a surface which might obstruct the ventilation slots.

DO NOT EXPOSE THE RECEIVER OR ITS ACCESSORIES:

 To direct sunlight or any other equipment that generates heat; to rain or intense

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

 Do not use a damaged power cord. It may cause a ﬁre or an electric shock. Do not

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

 When the receiver is not used for a long period of time, you should unplug the

power cord from the wall socket.

 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, and only after disconnecting from the mains voltage supply. Make sure no foreign objects fall through the ventilation slots because this could cause ﬁre or an electric shock.

 Do not place any objects on top of the receiver because this might prevent proper

cooling of the components inside.

Safety Precautions

 Never try to open the receiver. It is dangerous to touch the inside of the receiver

due to high voltages and possible electrical hazards. Opening the receiver will void the warranty of the product. Refer all maintenance or servicing to suitably qualiﬁed personnel.

 When you are connecting 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.

 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 conditions, make sure to repack the receiver in its original packaging with
