Precautions
1. Safeguarding against electric shocks, fire hazards and damage
1)
A very low current will still flow even when the POWER button is set at STANDBY. To save power
and ensure safety when the unit is not going to be used for an extended period of time, disconnect the
power cords from the household AC outlet.
2)
Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
3)
To unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, always take hold of the molded plug part and pull the
plug free rather than pulling the cord.
4)
If the power cord is damaged or found to have a disconnected wire or a contact failure, consult your
dealer.
5)
Do not bend the cord at a sharp angle, and do not pull or twist it.
6)
Do not modify the power cord in any way.
7)
Do not remove the screws in order to disassemble the unit, and do not touch any of the parts inside
the unit.
8)
Do not insert metallic objects into the unit.
9)
Unplug the power cord if there is a chance that lightning may strike.
10) If water should find its way inside the unit, unplug the power cord from the outlet, and consult your
dealer.
11) Do not install the unit in a poorly ventilated location.
2. Installation
1)
Avoid placing the unit on or adjacent to an amplifier: this is to prevent the humming caused by the
unit's proximity to some types of amplifiers. Move the unit where it will not be affected by the
amplifier.
2)
Avoid installing the unit where the ambient temperature will exceed 35
°C (95 °F) (namely, in direct
sunlight, near a heating appliance, etc.) or drop below 5
°C (41 °F), where it it is very humid or
dusty, or where the unit will be subject to vibration.
3)
The unit may not function properly if it is moved suddenly from a cold place (0
°C (32 °F)) to a
warm place since condensation may form inside the unit. In such a case, leave the unit standing for
about 30 minutes, after which time it should function properly.
3. Cleaning the cabinet
Never use benzine or paint thinners to clean the cabinet as they may mar the unit's surface finish.
