Caution

Never remove the back covers of the audio system as this can expose 
you to very high voltages and other hazards. If the system does not 
operate properly, unplug the audio system and call your authorized 
dealer or service center. Adjust only those controls that are covered in 
the instructions, as improper changes or modifications not expressly 
approved by Roth AV could void the user’s warranty.
