15) Lightning -- For added protection for this product during a light-

ning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods

of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or

cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to light-

ning and power-line surges.

16) Power Lines -- An outside antenna system should not be locat-

ed in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or

power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits.

When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be

taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact

with them might be fatal.

17) Overloading -- Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or

integral convenience receptacles as this can result in risk of fire or

electric shock.

18) Object and Liquid Entry -- Never push objects of any kind into

this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage

points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.

Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

19) Servicing -- Do not attempt to service this product yourself as

opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage

or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

20) Damage Requiring Service -- Unplug this product from the

wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under

the following conditions:

a) when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

b) if liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product.

c) if the product has been exposed to rain or water.

d) if the product does not operate normally by following the operat-

ing 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 qual-

ified technician to restore the product to its normal operation.

e) if the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.

f ) when the product exhibits a distinct change in performance _ this

indicates a need for service.

21) Replacement Parts -- When replacement parts are required,

be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified

by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original

part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or

other hazards.

22) Safety Check -- Upon completion of any service or repairs to

this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to

determine that the product is in proper operating condition.

23) Wall or Ceiling Mounting -- The product should be mounted to

a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

24) Heat -- The product should be situated away from heat sources

such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (includ-

ing amplifiers) that produce heat.

10) Ventilation -- Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided

for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to

protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked

or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the

product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product

should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or

rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's

instructions have been adhered to.

11) Power Sources -- This product should be operated only from

the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are

not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your prod-

uct dealer or local power company. For products intended to oper-

ate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating

instructions.

12) Grounding or Polarization -- This product may be equipped

with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one

blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet

only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the

plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still

fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do

not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

13) Power-Cord Protection -- Power-supply cords should be rout-

ed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items

placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at

plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from

the product.

14) Outdoor Antenna Grounding -- If an outside antenna or

cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or

cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against

voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the

National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with

regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,

grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of

grounding

conductors,

location

antenna-discharge

unit,

connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the

grounding electrode.

approved by the party responsible for compliance

could void the user's authority to opoerate the

equipement.

NOTE: This equipement has been tested and found

to comply with the limits for a Class B digital

device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These

limits are designed to provide reasonable protec-

tion against harmful interference in a residential

installation. This equipement generates, uses, and

can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not

installed and used in accordance with the instruc-

tions, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications. However, there is no guarantee

that interference will not occure in a particular

installation. If this equipement does cause harmful

interference to radio or television reception, which

can be determinedby turning the equipement off

and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the

interference by one or more of the following mea-

sures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Increase the separation between the equipement

and receiver.

Connect the equipement into an outlet on a circuit

different from that to which the receiver is con-

nected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV

technician for help.

Shielded cables must be used with this unit to

ensure compliance with the Class B FCC limits.

CAUTION

Changes or modifications to this equipment not

expressly approved by TEAC CORPORATION for

compliance could void the user's authority to oper-

ate this equipment.

For U.S.A.

The equipment draws nominal non-operating

power from the AC outlet with its POWER switch in

the STANDBY position.

fier/receiver. Do not place a CD player or other equip-

ment on top of the amplifier/receiver.

Do not open the cabinet as this might result in damage

to the circuitry or electrical shock. If a foreign object

should get into the set, contact your dealer.

When removing the power plug from the wall outlet,

always pull directly on the plug, never yank the cord.

Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical sol-

vents as this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry

cloth.

Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
