Ventilation
IMPORTANT – The unit will become hot when in use. Do not place
anything on top of the unit. Do not place in an enclosed area such as
a bookcase or in a cabinet without sufficient ventilation.
Ensure that small objects do not fall through any ventilation grille. If this
happens, switch off immediately, disconnect from the mains supply and
contact your dealer for advice.
Positioning
Choose the installation location carefully. Avoid placing it in direct
sunlight or close to a source of heat. No naked flame sources, such as
lighted candles, should be placed on the unit. Also avoid locations
subject to vibration and excessive dust, cold or moisture. The unit can
be used in a moderate climate.
This unit must be installed on a sturdy, level surface. Do not place in a
sealed area such as a bookcase or in a cabinet. Do not place the unit
on an unstable surface or shelf. The unit may fall, causing serious injury
to a child or adult as well as serious damage to the product. Do not
place other equipment on top of the unit.
Due to stray magnetic fields, turntables or CRT TVs should not be
located nearby due to possible interference.
Electronic audio components have a running in period of around a week
(if used several hours per day). This will allow the new components to
settle down and the sonic properties will improve over this time.
Power sources
The unit should be operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power-
supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power
company.
This unit has been designed to be left in Standby mode when not in use
as this will increase the life of the amplifier (this is true with all
electronic equipment). To turn the unit off, switch off at the rear panel.
If you do not intend to use this unit for a long period of time, unplug it
from the mains socket.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this can result in a
risk of fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords,
frayed power cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation and broken
plugs are dangerous. They may result in a shock or fire hazard.
Be sure to insert each power cord securely. To prevent hum and noise,
do not bundle the interconnect leads with the power cord or speaker
leads.
Cleaning
To clean the unit, wipe its case with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use
any cleaning fluids containing alcohol, ammonia or abrasives. Do not
spray an aerosol at or near the unit.
Battery disposal
Please dispose of any discharged batteries according to local
environmental/electronic waste disposal guidelines.
Loudspeakers
Before making any connections to loudspeakers, make sure all power
is turned off and only use suitable interconnects.
Servicing
These units are not user serviceable. Never attempt to repair,
disassemble or reconstruct the unit if there seems to be a problem.
A serious electric shock could result if this precautionary measure
is ignored. In the event of a problem or failure, please contact your
dealer.

Plug Fitting Instructions (UK Only)
The cord supplied with this appliance is factory-fitted with a UK mains plug fitted
with a 5-amp fuse inside. If it is necessary to change the fuse, it is important that
a 5-amp fuse is used. If the plug needs to be changed because it is not suitable
for your socket, or becomes damaged, it should be cut off and an appropriate
plug fitted following the wiring instructions below. The plug must then be disposed
of safely, as insertion into a mains socket is likely to cause an electrical hazard.
Should it be necessary to fit a 3-pin BS mains plug to the power cord, the wires
should be fitted as shown in this diagram. The colours of the wires in the mains
lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying
the terminals in your plug. Connect them as follows:
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be
connected to the terminal which is marked with
the letter ‘N’ or coloured BLACK.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be
connected to the terminal which is marked with
the letter ‘L’ or coloured RED.
The wire which is coloured GREEN/YELLOW
must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter ‘E’ or coloured GREEN.
If a standard 13-amp (BS 1363) plug is used, a 5-amp fuse must be fitted or, if
any other type of plug is used, a 5-amp fuse must be fitted, either in the plug or
adaptor, or on the distribution board.
