Ventilation
IMPORTANT - The unit will become hot when in use. Do not stack multiple units on top
of each other. 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. Any space open at the back (such as a dedicated
equipment rack) is fine however. 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, 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.
Important safety instructions (continued)
This unit has been designed to be left in Standby mode when not in use as this will
increase the life of the unit (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 cord 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.
