45 Setting up
Notes on wiring the system:
Be sure to push all plugs firmly into their sockets. Loose
connections can cause hum and other unwanted noises.
Before wiring up the system remove the back panel,
which is simply clipped in place.
Deploy all mains cables, loudspeaker cables and remote
control cables as far as possible from low-level cables
(inter-connects) and aerial cables. Never route them over
or under the receiver. Mains cables must be deployed in
such a way that there is no risk of people tripping over
them, or of furniture causing damage. Particular care is
required with connectors, distribution panels and the
unit's sockets and other connectors.
Please connect the unit to a correctly earthed mains
socket using the mains cable supplied.
When wiring is complete. fit the back panel in the original
position again.
If you encounter problems when setting up and using the
K6 for the first time, please remember that the cause is
often simple, and equally simple to eliminate. Please
refer to the section of these instructions entitled 'Trou-
ble-shooting'.
Safety notes
Please read right through these operating instructions
carefully before you attempt to use your new equipment.
Note in particular the information regarding setting up
and operating the unit, and the safety notes.
The power supply required for this machine is printed on
the mains supply socket. The unit must never be con-
nected to a power supply which does not meet this
specification. If the K6 is not to be used for a long period,
disconnect it from the mains supply at the wall socket.
Liquid or foreign bodies must never be allowed inside the
case. Mains voltage is present inside the unit, and there
is a risk of lethal electric shock. Do not exert undue force
on the mains connectors.
Protect the unit from drips and splashes of water; never
place flower vases or fluid containers on the unit.
This device should never be used without proper super-
vision. The K6 should be set up well out of the reach of
small children. This applies to all electrical equipment.
The unit should only ever be opened by a qualified spe-
cialist technician. Repairs and fuse replacements should
be entrusted to an authorised
    specialist workshop.
With the exception of the connections and procedures
described in these instructions, no work of any kind may
be carried out on the K6 by unqualified persons.
If the unit is damaged, or if you suspect that it is not
functioning correctly, immediately disconnect the mains
plug at the wall socket, and ask an authorised
    spe-
cialist workshop to check it.
The unit may be damaged by excess voltage in the
power supply, the cable network or in aerial systems, as
may occur during thunderstorms (lightning strikes) or due
to static discharges. Special power supply units and
excess voltage protectors such as the
    'Power Bar'
mains distribution panel offer some degree of protection
from damage to equipment due to the hazards described
above.
However, if you require absolute security from damage
due to excess voltage, the only solution is to disconnect
the unit from the mains power supply and any aerial
systems. If you believe there is a danger of excess volt-
age (e.g. when an electrical storm is building up) discon-
nect the K6 from the mains and the aerial socket.
All mains power supply and aerial systems to which the
unit is connected must meet the currently valid regula-
tions, and must be installed by an approved electrical
installer.
