IMPORTANT NOTICE
I.
Due to the computer-based circuitry used in Theta products, it is imperative that the Casablanca IV be connected
to a ground via its three wire AC power cord. It is important that the AC power outlet which the Casablanca IV
is plugged into, is actually grounded. Failure to do so will severely compromise the performance, reliability and
safety of use of the Casablanca IV.
II.
It is important to prevent contact with static electricity when connecting other components and cables to the
Casablanca IV. When connecting cables, simply place one hand on top of the Casablanca IV and then grasp
the metal “barrel” of the cable with the other hand and plug (unplug) the cable into (from) the appropriate jack
on the Casablanca IV.
III.
The Casablanca IV, as with all electronic equipment, is susceptible to static discharges. Resetting the unit may
be required if anomalies occur after receiving a static discharge. In this case, put the unit in standby and turn
off the rear panel power switch for 2 minutes, and then turn it on again.
IV.
Ventilation is an important issue when placing the Casablanca IV in a system. Make certain that the Casablanca
IV is placed in a well-ventilated area or rack unit.
V.
Please take note that some powerline conditioners defeat the AC power ground on their outlets. If the intention
is to plug the Casablanca IV into a line conditioner, check with your dealer to make certain that the particular
conditioner that is intended for use DOES NOT DEFEAT THE AC GROUND on its AC outlets.
VI.
DO NOT remove any cover panels from the Casablanca IV, as there are no user serviceable components inside.
Refer servicing and updating to qualified service personnel only.
VII.
Should the Casablanca IV need to be reset, it must be put in standby first via the front panel power button. Then
the rear panel power switch is to be turned off for at least 2 minutes.
VIII.
The Casablanca IV can be susceptible to excessive RF. End caps on all unused inputs will improve the sound
quality and may reduce the susceptibility to RF induced anomalies.
