What specific handling instructions for VENTURE appliances?
See “Operation instructions”.
Please note however, that it is always safe to switch off and unplug all mains cables
before handling any cable from the system, being interconnects mains, speakers, or
digital. This caution is not specific to VENTURE products.
Also, please allow 30 seconds (mainly to the power amplifier) before unplugging the
cables. This will let the capacitors to empty themselves smoothly (no spark effect).
These cautions are not simply an instruction manual chapter. Many problems and
failures can really this easy be avoided (ground short-cuts, sparks on appliances…).
