Safety notes

All the components in this device fulfil the currently valid German and European
safety norms and standards.

We ensure that our products are of consistently high quality, and meet all
specifications, by checking all materials rigorously for quality, using meticulous
production methods and subjecting each unit to a fully automatic computer-
controlled final inspection.

For your own safety please consider it essential to read these operating
instructions right through, and observe in particular the notes regarding setting
up, operation and safety.

Installation

The unit must be set up in such a way that none of the connections can be
touched directly (especially by children). Be sure to observe the notes and
information in the section

Installation and Wiring

Loudspeaker connection
terminals

The loudspeaker terminals (marked with the



-symbol) can carry high

voltages. Touching the terminals or any wires connected to them must be
avoided.

Power supply

The power supply required for this unit is printed on the mains supply socket.
The unit must never be connected to a power supply which does not meet these
specifications. If the unit is not to be used for a long period disconnect it from
the mains supply at the wall socket.

Mains leads / Mains plug

Mains leads must be deployed in such a way that there is no danger of damage
to them (e. g. through persons treading on them or from furniture). Take
particular care with plugs, distribution panels and connections at the device.

Unplugging the mains plug will disconnect the device from the mains for service
and repair. Please make sure that the mains plug is easily accessible.

Enclosure openings

Liquid or particles must never be allowed to get inside the unit through the
ventilation slots. Mains voltage is present inside the unit, and any electric shock
could cause serious injury or death. Never exert undue force on mains
connectors.

Protect the unit from drips and splashes of water; never place flower vases or
fluid containers on the unit.

Supervision of device
operation

Like any other electrical appliance this device should never be used without
proper supervision. Take care to keep the unit out of the reach of small children.

Service, Damage

The case should only be opened by a qualified specialist technician. Repairs
and fuse replacements should be entrusted to an authorised



specialist

workshop. With the exception of the connections and measures described in
these instructions, no work of any kind may be carried out on the device by
unqualified persons.

If the unit is damaged, or if you suspect that it is not functioning correctly,
immediately disconnect the mains plug at the wall socket, and ask an
authorised



specialist workshop to check it.

Over voltage

The unit may be damaged by excess voltage in the power supply, the mains
circuit or in aerial systems, as may occur during thunderstorms (lightning
strikes) or due to static discharges.

Special power supply units and excess voltage protectors such as the



'Power Bar'

mains distribution panel offer some degree of protection from

damage to equipment due to the hazards described above.

However, if you require absolute security from damage due to excess voltage,
the only solution is to disconnect the unit from the mains power supply and any
aerial systems.

To avoid the risk of damage by overvoltages we recommend to disconnect all
cables from this device and your HiFi system during thunderstorms.

All mains power supply and aerial systems to which the unit is connected must
meet all applicable safety regulations and must be installed by an approved
electrical installer.
