Read this before operation

<

Place the unit in a stable location near the stereo system that
you will use.

<

Be careful to avoid injury when moving the unit due to its
weight. Get someone to help you if necessary. 

<

To protect easily scratched furniture, you may stick the felt
pads supplied with the unit to the feet.

<

As the unit may become warm during operation, always leave
sufficient space around the unit for ventilation.
The ventilation holes should not be covered. Make sure there
is at least 20 cm (8”) of space above and at least 5 cm (2”) of
space on each side of the unit. Do NOT place anything such
as CD, CD-R, cassette tape etc. on top of the unit.

<

The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage as
printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding
this matter, consult an electrician.

<

Choose the installation location of your unit carefully. Avoid
placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat. Also
avoid locations subject to vibrations and excessive dust, heat,
cold or moisture.

<

Do not open the cabinet as this might result in damage to the
circuitry or electrical shock. If a foreign object should get into
the unit, contact your dealer or service company.

<

When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always
pull directly on the plug, never yank the cord.

<

Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents as
this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

<

Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

Maintenance

If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe with a soft cloth or
use diluted neutral cleaning liquid. Be sure to remove any
fluid completely. Do not use thinner, benzine (naphtha) or
alcohol as they may damage the surface of the unit.

Before use

Placement of the unit

High-quality steel is used for the pin-point feet attached to
the bottom of the component. Although the outer feet may
appear loose, the weight of the unit causes them to become
firm and secure. The design effectively damps and reduces
vibration.

<

To protect the supporting furniture surface, you may stick the
felt pads supplied with the unit to the bottom of the metal
feet.
