IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not place the unit
on amplifiers or equip-
ment that may become
hot.

The heat can damage the unit.

Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit. Follow the safety instructions on the unit and the safety precautions listed
below. Keep these operating instructions handy for future reference.

Safety

1. Power source—Connect the unit to a power source of the type

described in these instructions or as marked on the unit.

2. Polarization—The unit is equipped with a polarized power plug

where one blade is wider than the other. This safety feature
ensures that the plug fits into your household AC outlet only one
way. If the plug doesn’t fit one way, try reversing it. If the plug
still doesn’t fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete out-
let. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the plug.

3. Power cord protection—Route the AC power supply cord so

that it will not be walked on or pinched by items placed on or
against it. Never take hold of the plug or cord with wet hands.
Always grasp the plug body firmly when connecting and discon-
necting it.

4. Overloading—When connecting the AC power supply cord, be

careful not to overload the household AC outlet, extension cord,
or outlet from any other device as this can result in fire or elec-
tric shock.

5. Nonuse periods—Turn the unit off when it is not in use. Unplug

the unit from the household AC outlet if it is not to be used for a
long time. Unplug the unit during lightning storms.

6. Attachments and accessories—Use only the attachments and

accessories recommended in these operating instructions.

Installation

Placement

1. Ventilation—Situate the unit so that it receives proper ventila-

tion. Do not install in a confined space such as a bookcase or
cabinet. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance from the rear
of the unit. To prevent the risk of electric shock or fire due to
overheating ensure curtains and other materials do not obstruct
the unit’s ventilation.

2. Foreign material—Ensure objects and liquids do not get into

the unit. Avoid exposing the unit to excessive smoke, dust, me-
chanical vibration, and shock.

3. Magnetism—Situate the unit away from equipment and devices

that generate strong magnetic fields.

4. Stacking—Do not place heavy objects on top of this unit.
5. Surface—Place the unit on a flat, level surface.
6. Carts and stands—Use the unit only with carts

and stands recommended by the manufacturer.
Move carts with care. Sudden stops, excessive
force, and uneven surfaces can cause carts to
overturn.

7. Wall and ceiling mounting—Do not mount the unit on walls or

ceilings unless specified in the instructions.

Environment

1. Water and moisture—Do not use the unit near water, such as

near a bathtub or swimming pool. Avoid damp basements.

2. Heat—Situate the unit away from heat sources, such as

radiators.

servicer uses parts specified by the manufacturer or parts that
have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unautho-
