1 - Safety instructions and important notes
Please read and observe the warnings and instructions in this owner's manual to insure your personal
safety and proper care of your unit.
The Odéon-m1 digital-to-analog converter has been designed with safety in mind.
Improper use may however result in electric shock or fire hazard. Please read the following safety
instructions carefully.
1 Do not remove the unit’s cover as you will be exposed to dangerous voltages which may result in
electric shock. Refer servicing to qualified technicians only.
2 When connecting components to your Odéon DAC, it is a good idea to turn it off or to make
sure that it is not connected to the main electrical outlet.
3 To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the Odéon DAC to rain or heavy
moisture. Wait at least one-half hour before plugging the amplifier in after transferring it from a
cold place to a warmer room allowing for internal condensation of water to dissipate.
4 The Odéon DAC has openings provided for ventilation. Proper operation may only occur if
these openings are not obstructed or covered. Do not cover the unit. It should not be used in a built-
in installation such as a bookshelf or rack unless proper vertical ventilation is provided.
5 It strongly recommended to lower the volume knob to the minimum before turning your Odéon
DAC on if the attenuated output is being used. Failing to do so could send high audio levels to your
amplifier and could overload and damage your amplifier or speakers.
