Important safeguards

1.Read Instructions – All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is operated.

2.Retain Instructions – The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.

3.Heed Warnings – All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

4.Follow Instructions – All operating and use instructions should be fol- lowed.

5.Water and Moisture – The appliance should not be used near water – for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.

6.Carts and Stands – The appliance should be used only with a cart or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.

6A. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick

18.Servicing – The user should not attempt to service the appliance beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.

19.Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, ground- ing of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding con- ductors, location of the antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure 73.1.

7.Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The appliance should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

8.Ventilation – The appliance should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings; or if placed in a built-in installation, such as a book case or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings, there should be free space of at least 20 cm and open up behind the appliance.

9.Heat – The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

10.Power Sources – The appliance should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.

11.Polarization – If the appliance is provided with a polarized plug having one blade wider than the other, please read the following information: The polarization of the plug is a safety feature. The polarized plug will only fit the outlet one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, try revers- ing it. If there is still trouble inserting it, the user should seek the services of a qualified electrician. Under no circumstances should the user attempt to defeat the polarization of the plug.

12.Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, especially near plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

13.Cleaning – The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer.

14.Power Lines – An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines.

15.Nonuse Periods – The power cord of the appliance should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.

16.Object and Liquid Entry – Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.

17.Damage Requiring Service – The appliance should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:

A.The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or

B.Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance; or

C.The appliance has been exposed to rain; or

D.The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; or

E.The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.

Precautions

1. Warranty Claim

You can find the serial number of the rear panel. In case of warranty claim, please report this number.

2. Care

From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry, and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immediately with a clean cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish or remove the panel letter- ing.

3.Power

WARNING

BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.

● Some models are designed for use only with the power supply

voltage of the region where they are sold.

U.S.A. and Canadian models:

AC 120 V, 60 Hz

European model:

AC 230 V, 50 Hz

Worldwide model:

AC 120 V/220 – 230 V switchable,

 

50/60 Hz

●Voltage Selector (Rear Panel)

Worldwide models are equipped with a voltage selector to con- form with local power supplies. Be sure to set this switch to match the voltage of the power supply in your area before turning the power button on. (See “Setting the voltage selector and Tuning step frequency (Worldwide models only)”, P. 4.) Models without a voltage selector can only be used in areas where the power supply is the same as that of the unit.
