Power cord protection

The unit must be installed in a manner that makes disconnection of the

mains plug from the mains socket outlet (or appliance connector from the

rear of the unit) possible. Where the mains plug is used as the disconnect

device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable. Protect the

power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,

convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.

Be sure to insert each power cord securely. To prevent hum and noise, do

not bundle the interconnect leads with the power cord or speaker leads.

Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets or extension cord as this can result in a risk

of fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed

power cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation, and broken plugs are

dangerous. They may result in a shock or fire hazard.

Lightning

For added protection during a thunderstorm, or when it is left

unattended and unused for long period of time, unplug the unit from the

wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent

damage to the unit from lightning and power-line surges.

Cleaning

To clean the unit, wipe its case with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use any

cleaning fluids containing alcohol, ammonia or abrasives. Do not spray

an aerosol at or near the unit. The use of a lens cleaning disc at least

once a month can also prolong unit life.

Attachments

Do not use attachments not recommended by your dealer as they may

cause harm to the unit. Only use the specified attachments/accessories

with this unit.

Servicing

These units are not user serviceable, never attempt to repair,

disassemble or reconstruct the unit if there seems to be a problem. A

serious electric shock could result if this precautionary measure is

ignored. In the event of a problem or failure, please contact your dealer.

Contact the service department should any of these conditions occur:

- When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

- If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit.

- If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.

- If the unit does not operate normally after following the operation

instructions, adjust only those controls that are covered by the

operation instructions.

- If the unit has been dropped or damaged in any way.

- When the unit exhibits a distinct negative change in performance.

Important safety instructions

Please take a moment to read these notes before installing your 540D

V2, as they will enable you to get the best performance and prolong the

life of the unit. We advise you follow all instructions, heed all warnings

and keep the instructions for future reference.

Ventilation

IMPORTANT - The unit will become hot when in use.

Please ensure there is ample ventilation (at least 10cm clearance all

round). Do not put any objects on top of this unit. Do not situate it on a

rug or other soft surface and do not obstruct any air inlets or outlet

grilles. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat

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

heat. Do not stack multiple units on top of each other. Do not place in

an enclosed area such as a bookcase or in a cabinet without sufficient

ventilation.

Ensure that small objects do not fall through any ventilation grille. If this

happens, switch off immediately, disconnect from the mains supply and

contact your dealer for advice.

Positioning

Choose the installation location carefully. Avoid placing it in direct

sunlight or close to a source of heat. Also avoid locations subject to

vibration and excessive dust, cold or moisture. Do not place the unit on

an unstable surface or shelf. The unit may fall, causing serious injury to

a child or adult as well as serious damage to the product. Do not place

other equipment on top of the unit.

This unit must be installed on a sturdy, level surface. Do not

place in a sealed area such as a bookcase or in a cabinet. Any

space open at the back (such as a dedicated equipment rack)

is fine however. When a cart is used, use caution when moving

the cart to avoid injury from tip-over.

WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this

unit to rain or moisture. This unit must not be used near water or

exposed to dripping or splashing water or other liquids. No objects filled

with liquid, such as vases, shall be placed on the unit. In the event,

switch off immediately, disconnect from the mains supply and contact

your dealer for advice.

Electronic audio components have a running in period of around a week

(if used several hours per day). This will allow the new components to

settle down, the sonic properties will improve over this time.

Grounding and polarisation

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 third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided

plug does not fit your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of

the obsolete outlet.

Power sources

The unit is of Class 1 construction and must be connected to a Mains

socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.

The unit should be operated only from the type of power source

indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power-

supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local Power

Company.

This unit has been designed to be left in Standby mode when not in use,

this will increase the life of the amplifier (this is true with all electronic

equipment). To turn the unit off completely switch off on the rear panel.

If you do not intend to use this unit for a long period of time, unplug it

from the mains socket.

Important Note

This unit has been designed to play video DVDs,

compact discs, recordable CDs (CD-R) and re-writable

CDs (CD-RW) bearing the identification logo shown

here. No other discs can be used. The CD-R/CD-RW

discs should contain properly recorded TOC (Table of

Contents) information so that they can be played

back. This unit can play only the discs recorded in the

CD-DA format designed for music reproduction. Do not attempt to

play a disc on this unit containing other data, such as a CD-ROM for

PCs.
