IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

 

 

 

15.   REPLACEMENT PARTS: When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used 

replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or those having the same characteristics as the original parts. 

Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards. 

16.   SAFETY CHECK: Upon completion of any service or repairs to the unit, ask the service technician to perform 

safety checks to ensure the unit is in proper operating condition. 

17.   IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: 

 

Before connecting a new product to your audio or home theater system, turn off all other equipment 

(preferably unplugging them from the AC power source). Many audio components feature automatic 

turn-on circuits that may activate during an installation, potentially causing damage to electronic 

components and/or speakers. This type of damage is not covered by product warranties, and Cary 

Audio specifically disclaims responsibility for any such damage. 

 

Power Cord: The removable power cord provided with your player was specifically 

designed for use with this product, but other AC cords may be used. Consult your dealer 

for advice on AC power cords and high quality wire in your system. 

 

Wiring: Cables running inside walls should have the appropriate markings to indicate compliance and 

listing by the UL, CSA or other standards required by the UL, CSA, NEC or your local building code. 

Questions about cables inside of walls should be referred to a qualified custom installer, a licensed 

electrician, or low-voltage contractor. 

18.   RECORDING COPYRIGHT: Recording of copyrighted material for other than personal use is illegal without permission 
      of the copyright holder. 
19.   NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to 

article 820-40 of the NEC, ANSI/NFPA 70, which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies 

that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry 

as practical. 

20.    FCC INFORMATION FOR USER: 

 

CAUTION: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by Cary 
Audio Design could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. 

 

NOTE: This equipment 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 protection against harmful interference in a residential 

installation. This equipment generates and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and 

used in accordance with the instructions it may cause harmful interference to radio communications. 

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment 

does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the 

equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the 

following measures: 

o

 

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. 

o

 

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. 

o

 

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from where the receiver is 
connected. 

21.   OUTDOOR ANTENNA INSTALLATION/SAFE ANTENNA AND CABLE CONNECTION: 

 

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the 

equipment, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded in 

order to provide protection against built-up static charges and 

voltage surges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, 

ANSI/NFPA 70 (in Canada, Part 1 of the Canadian Electrical Code) 

provides information regarding proper grounding of the mast and 

supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna 

discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna 

discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and 

requirements for the grounding electrode. 

 

outside antenna system should be located well away from power 

lines, electric light or power circuits and where it will never come 

into contact with these power sources if it should happen to fall. 

When installing an outside antenna, extreme care should be 

taken to avoid touching power lines, circuits or other power 

sources as this could be fatal. Because of the hazards involved, 

antenna installation should be left to a professional.
