Precautions

1. AC Fuse

The fuse is located inside the chassis and is not userser- viceable. If power does not come on, contact your Onkyo authorized service station.

2. Care

From time to time you should wipe off the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry, and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immedi- ately with a clean cloth. Do not use rough material, thin- ners, alcohol or other chemical solvents or cloths since these may damage the finish or remove the panel letter- ing.

Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from hard-to-reach grilles.
