❍This manual.
You are advised to retain the packing in case you need to transport the unit.

Before connecting power
Before you begin installation you should ensure that your stereo power amplifier is set to the correct voltage for your local AC supply. If it is not, do not try to install the unit, and contact your dealer.
Do not make connections, or insert or remove plugs, while the unit is connected to the supply and switched on, as the transients generated could damage the loudspeakers.
Safety warnings
❍Do not expose the stereo power amplifier to dripping or splashing.
❍Do not place any object filled with liquid, such as a vase, on the stereo power amplifier.
❍Do not place naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the stereo power amplifier.
To avoid overheating
During normal operation the internal heatsinks may become quite hot. The stereo power amplifier should therefore be positioned to allow a free flow of air through the cooling vents from the base to the top.
Do not place the stereo power amplifier:
❍In direct sunlight.
❍Near heat sources, eg a radiator.
❍Stacked with any other audio products, as the heat it generates may damage the other products.
Do not restrict airflow through the top and bottom vents.
