Read this before operation

<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 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 place the unit on the amplifier/receiver.

<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 or slightly damp cloth.

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

<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.

Short Circuit and Output Protection

“OVER LEVEL” blinks on the display when the short circuit protection (or the output protection) is activated. In this case, turn the unit off and check the speaker cables. The metal portions of the two separate wires should not touch.

If there is no shorted wire, turn down the volume using the VOLUME knob.

Thermal Overload Protection

“HIGH TEMP” blinks on the display when the overload protection is activated. In this case, turn the unit off and leave it for a few hours to cool it down.

Also check the location of your unit. Place the unit in a cool place, and always leave sufficient space around the unit for ventilation.
