not place the unit in direct sunlight, near
heating equipment or close to open flames.
Fire, accident or malfunction may result. Do
not place the unit in locations exposed to
cold air or direct draft. Condensation,
leakage current or thermal damage may
result. Do not use the unit in dusty or dirty
locations. Decreased  heat ventilation can
cause thermal damage

8.

Unit heat
The bottom and sides of the unit can heat up
during use and should not be touched.
Burns may result. Only connect or
disconnect speaker cables after the power
supply has cooled down.

9.

Moving the unit
When moving the unit, shut off power to all
connected equipment, and disconnect power
cords, connectoins cables, speaker cables
and other wires. Moving the unit while cable
are connected can cause damage to cables,
fire or electric shock. The unit is heavy and
care should be taken when unpacking,
moving or lifting.
Manufacturing also creates sharp areas on
the unit; use thorough care in handling.

10. Power cord

Only use the power cord supplied and do not
bend, twist, modify it for repair, or pin it
under the unit. Heavy objects, heat or
tension may also damage the power cord
and cause fire or electric shock. When
disconnecting the power cord from an outlet,
do not pull the cord. Pulling on the cord can
damage it and cause fire or electric shock.
Do not touch the power cord with wet hands.
Do not place the power cord near heating
equipment and  do not use the unit. If the
plug fits loosely in an electric outlet or the
plug or cord is hot. If the cord is damaged
replace it as continued use may result in fire
or electric shock.

11. Unit plug

Insert the plug into an outlet all the may to its

base. Incomplete insertion can cause heat
production, and dust build-up can cause fire.
Contact with the prongs of the plug can also
cause electric shock. Do not connect the unit
to an outlet where the connection is loose
even when the plug is inserted all the way to
its base. Do not use the unit if the plug is
hot. Heat production can cause fire.
If dust or metal accumulates on or near the
prongs of the plug, wipe the plug with a dry
cloth after disconnection.  Continued use
may cause fire or electric shock.

12. Danger signs

If you notice a strange noise, smoke,
unusual odour or other abnormal condition,
shut off the unit, disconnect the power cord
from the outlet and have the unit inspected.
Continued use may result in fire or electric
shock.

13. Electric storms

During electrical storms disconnect the unit
and avoid contact with the antenna and
power cord.  Lightning can cause fire,
electric shock and malfunction.

14. Internal temperature rise

To avoid internal temperature rise when
installing the unit, leave space between the
unit and walls or other equipments. When
installed in a rack or similar fixture, leave a
10cm (4") or larger gap on top and at sides
since internal temperature rise can result in
fire. The unit is provided with ventilation
holes to prevent internal temperature rise.
Blockage of these holes decreases
ventilation and can result in fire. Note the
following:

＊

Do not place the unit in a poorly ventilated
area

＊

Do not place the unit on carpeting or on
bedding

＊

Do not obstruct the ventilation holes

＊

Do not tilt the unit or turn upside down

15. Extended non-use

If the unit is likely to be unused for an
extended period, shut off power and
disconnect from power supply.

16. Volume Adjustment

If abnormal noise is produced during play at
high volume, reduce the volume level.
Distorted sound can cause overheating of
speakers and amplifier. Before switching
