Important Safety Instructions
1 Read these instructions.
15 Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or
when unused for long periods of time.
2 Keep these instructions
3 Heed all warnings
16 Never expose the unit to moisture
4 Follow all instructions
17 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or
plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects
have fallen into the apparatus. The apparatus has
been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate
normally, or has been dropped.
5 Do not use this apparatus near water
6 Clean only with dry cloth
7 Do not block any ventilation openings, Install in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
8 Ensure that the ventilation is not impeded by
covering the ventilation openings with items such as
newspapers, table cloths, curtains, etc.
18 Damage requiring service
Unplug the apparatus from the wall outlet and
refer servicing to qualified service personnel under
the following conditions:
9 Do not install near any heat source such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
10 Use the apparatus only in moderate climates (not
in tropical climates).
A) When the power supply cord or plug is
damaged
11 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 is provided
for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit
into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
B) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have
fallen into the apparatus.
C) If the apparatus has been exposed to rain or
water,
D) If the apparatus does not operate normally by
following the operating instructions. Adjust
only those controls that are covered by the
operating instructions as an improper
adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive work
by a qualified technician to restore the
apparatus to its normal operation.
12 Protect the power cord from being walked on or
pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
apparatus.
13 Only use the attachments/accessories specified by
the manufacturer.
E) If the apparatus has been dropped or
damaged in any way, and
14 If you install the apparatus in a built-in installation,
such as a bookcase or rack, ensure that there is
adequate ventilation. Leave 20cm (8”) of free
space at the top and sides and 10cm (4”) at the
rear. The rear edge of the shelf or board above the
apparatus shall be set 10cm (4”) away from the
rear panel or wall, creating a flue-like gap for warm
air to escape. Good airflow is necessary to help
ensure proper operation. Not only should you
provide enough free space around the unit, but
also ensure that air can flow freely and escape
from the amplifier surroundings. Failure to do so
may cause thermal shutdown of the unit, and
reduced life expectancy.
F) When the apparatus exhibits a distinct change
in performance this indicates a need for a
service.
19 Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into the apparatus
through openings as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short-out parts that could result
in a fire or electric shock.
The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or
splashing and no objects filled with liquids,such as
vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
Don’t put candles or other burning objects on top
of this apparatus.
