CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS

Do not connect the power cord plug into the power outlet until all other connections are complete. Before unplugging a cord or cable from the unit, be always sure to set the POWER switch to OFF and unplug the power plug from the power outlet.

CAUTION

Simply setting the POWER switch to OFF does not shut down the power supplied to the unit com- pletely. To isolate this unit completely from the power supply, it is necessary to unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

To shut down the power supply to the unit immedi- ately in case of an emergency, connect the power plug to an easily accessible power outlet.

CAUTION

Be sure to adhere to the following, or proper ventila- tion will be blocked causing damage or fire hazard.

÷Do not place any objects impairing heat radiation onto the top of the unit.

÷Leave some space around the unit (from the largest outside dimension including projection) equal to or greater than, shown below.

Top panel : 50 cm Back panel : 10 cm

Power plug

To AC wall outlet

Insert the power plug all the way and securely into a power outlet.

CD player etc.

Select the input connectors according to the type of the component connected to it.

The D.AUDIO input is provided with high input gain so that it can accept the input from the headphones out- put of a portable component such as a HDD (Hard Disc Drive) audio player. If the line output from a desktop component such as a CD player is connected to these connectors, the audio is played at a larger volume than when it is connected to the CD or AUX connectors. In this case, however, the audio may be distorted if the listening volume is set too high.

÷In case an associated system component is connected, also read the instruction manual of the component.

÷Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections are imperfect, the sound may not be produced or noise may interfere.
