Important Notes

In addition to the items listed under “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” and “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on pages 2 and 3–4,

please read and observe the following:

Power Supply

301

•Do not connect this unit to the same electrical outlet that is being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between this unit and the

electrical outlet.

307

•Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions

and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

308

•This device has no power switch. Disconnect the plug from the power outlet whenever shutdown of power is required. The power cord’s plug should be connected to the closest available power outlet to the device; this should be within immediate reach during use.

Placement

352a

•This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such

receivers.

352b

•Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initi- ating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch

them off.

355b

•When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the

condensation has completely evaporated.

360

•Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface.

You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure that the unit will not slip or move accidentally.

Maintenance

401a

•For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe

the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

402

•Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or defor- mation.

Additional Precautions

553

•Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunc-

tions.

556

•When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal

elements.

557

• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during normal operation.

558b

•To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume at reasonable levels (especially when it is late at

night).

559a

•When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
