Do not plug in the AC cord until all connections have been completed.

Be sure to connect the left and right channels properly (left with left, right with right).

Insert the plugs securely. Incomplete connections will result in the generation of noise.

Use the AC OUTLETS for audio equipment only. Do not use them for hair driers, etc.

Note that binding pin plug cords together with AC cords or placing them near a power transformer will result in generating hum or other noise.

Noise or humming may be generated if a connected audio equipment is used independently without turning the power of this unit on. If this happens, turn on the power of the this unit.
