Cleaning

Disconnect the Sneaky Music DS from the power supply before cleaning. Remove dust and ﬁngerprints with a soft, dry cloth.

Connecting to the mains supply

The Sneaky Music DS contains an automatic internal mains voltage switch. This switch operates on all worldwide mains voltages from 100 V to 240 V. The unit can be connected to any worldwide mains voltage with no adjustment.

This unit must be earthed. Use the earthed moulded mains lead supplied, or if no mains earth is available, ensure the product’s EARTH GROUND connector is connected to an earthing terminal.

Positioning

You can position the Sneaky Music DS almost anywhere you ﬁnd convenient, but please consider the following points:

•The unit should be placed on a ﬂat, stable and rigid surface.

•Allow at least 4" (10 cm) free space above and at each side of the unit for air circulation.

•Do not position the unit where sunlight can shine (whether directly, diffused or reﬂected) on its front surface as the infra-red (IR) radiation in sunlight will be picked up by the unit’s IR remote sensor and this can adversely affect its operation. Similarly, some electrical devices such as plasma TVs, ﬂuorescent lights and energy saving lamps can emit IR which can likewise affect the operation.

•For best performance do not stack the unit with other products. Ideally, position the unit on a shelf by itself or, if proximity to other products is unavoidable, positioning side-by-side is preferable to stacking.

•The unit should not be situated above, or directly adjacent to, sources of heat such as radiators, other power ampliﬁers, etc. Nor should it be enclosed in a cabinet with such devices.

Ampliﬁer protection

The Sneaky Music DS features two methods of protecting its internal power ampliﬁer from damage.

Short-circuit protection

If the speaker outputs are accidently short-circuited, the power ampliﬁer will shut down instantly and will remain in that state until the short-circuit is rectiﬁed.

Over-temperature protection

If the power ampliﬁer’s temperature rises above its safe operating limit, it will cease operation until the temperature drops to a safe level and will then automatically resume.
