SOME DOS AND DONTS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any
electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.
**************
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and inter-connections
between the pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
Switch off and withdraw the mains plug before making or changing connections.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
DO route the mains lead so that it is not likely to be walked on, crushed, chafed, or subjected to excessive
wear and tear or heat
DONT remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DONT obstruct the ventilation openings of the equipment with items such as newspapers, tablecloths,
curtains, etc. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
DONT allow electrical equipment to be exposed to dripping or splashing, or objects filled with liquids, such
as vases, to be placed on the equipment.
DONT place hot objects or naked flame sources such as lighted candles or nightlights on, or close to
equipment. High temperatures can melt plastic and lead to fires.
DONT use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws - to ensure
complete safety always fit the manufacturers approved stand or legs with the fixings
provided according to the instructions.
DONT use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from
the requirements of traffic safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.
DONT listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing.
DONT leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated
that it is designed for unattended operation or has a stand-by mode. Switch off using the
switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this. Special
arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.
DONT continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working
normally, or if it is damaged in any way - switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult
your dealer.
ABOVE ALL
NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case
- this could result in a fatal electrical shock;
NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind
it is better to be safe than sorry!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Power Source
The unit should be operated only from a 230-240V~ 50 Hz outlet. Please do not open the cover by yourself.
There is high voltage in the set, which will endanger your life. Please contact local service agent for help
and advice. Repairs should be carried out by a qualified technician only.
The apparatus is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall
outlet, even if the apparatus itself has been turned off.
If you are not going to use the apparatus for a long time, be sure to disconnect the apparatus from the wall
outlet.
Power Cord
Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord (mains lead), or pinch the cord. Handle
the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when
your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Never make a knot in the cord or
tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed in such a way that they are not likely to be stepped
on. A damaged power cord can cause fire or give you an electrical shock. Check the power cord once in
a while. When you find it damaged, ask closest service agent for help. When the AC power cord needs to
be changed, it should be done at a qualified service shop only.
Choice of Location
Please do not place the set in a place subject to direct sun light, excessive dust or mechanical shock or
in a location near heat sources.
The set should be placed on a solid and safe base. Do not place the apparatus on a soft surface such as
a rug that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.
A location should not be selected such as a room with high humidity, as the condensation, arising in the kitchen
for example, may cause malfunction or damage the set.
Heating or other thermal radiation under the set also may cause malfunction or damage the set.
The hot air, which arises during the operation, should be ventilated with sufficient air circulation. Please do
not put the set into closed areas and do not cover it.
Please avoid the contact of the set with water or humidity. Do not put into operation near bath, swimming
pools.
Take care to provide a good air circulation. Place the apparatus in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent
heat build-up in the apparatus.
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the apparatus and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.

WIRING THE PLUG
If your receiver is fitted with a non-rewireable plug and you need to change the fuse, you will need to refit
the fuse cover. If you lose or damage the fuse cover, do not use the plug until you have replaced the cover
with a new one. You can get one from us. Make sure you replace the fuse cover with one which is the same
colour as the markings on the fuse.
If you have to change the plug because it is not suitable for your socket or it is damaged, cut off the plug
and fit another one following the wiring instructions below. Please throw away the plug you have removed,
as insertion into a mains socket could cause injury.For your own safety, read the following instructions carefully
before attempting to connect this unit to the mains.
