• The Emotiva DMC-1 Media Center should NEVER be used near water such as a bathtub, washbowl,
kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.
• The Emotiva DMC-1 Media Center should be situated so that its location or installation position does

may block any ventilation openings; or placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase, cabinet,
or closed equipment rack that may impede the flow of air through ventilation openings. If installed

adequate air circulation.

paying particular attention to cords at the wall plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they connect into the DMC-1 Media Center. The power cord of the DMC-1 Media Center should be
unplugged from the outlet when unused for a long period of time.
