will be used meets the required voltage (e.g., AC
230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz) written on the

Turning off the standby button does not shut off
the power completely. So the power cord should
be removed from the AC outlet when the unit is
not used for a prolonged time.

Do not handle this unit or power cord when your
hands are wet or damp. If water or any other liq-

Take special care to provide plenty of ventilation
on all sides of this unit especially when it is placed
in an audio rack. If ventilation is blocked, this unit
may overheat and malfunction.
Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or heat-
ing units as this unit’s internal temperature may
rise and shorten the life of the pickup.
Avoid damp and dusty places and places directly
affected by vibrations from the speakers. In par-
ticular, avoid placing the unit on or above one of
the speakers.

6. Care
From time to time you should wipe the front and

tion of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry,
and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immedi-
ately with a clean cloth.
Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or
other chemical solvents or cloths since these could
damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.
