IMPORTANT NOTES

291b

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:

This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. The protection circuit helps ensure safety by operating when excessive input
continues for a long time while the device is at a location with a high ambient temperature. Sound drop-out may occur when
the protection circuit is actuated during use. Please read through the documentation carefully to ensure correct use.

Power Supply

301

Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any device that will generate line noise (such as an electric motor or
variable lighting system).

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.

Placement

351

Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate
the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from the source of interference.

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 initiating 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.

354b

Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise
subject it to temperature extremes. Also, do not allow lighting devices that normally are used while their light source is very
close to the unit (such as a piano light), or powerful spotlights to shine upon the same area of the unit for extended periods of
time. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

355

To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in a wet area, such as an area exposed to rain or other moisture.

356

Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or
otherwise harmfully affect the finish.

357

Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., flower vases) on the unit. Also, avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes, alcohol,
nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly wipe away any liquid that spills on the unit using a dry, soft cloth.

359

Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument. Peeling such matter off the instrument may damage the exterior
finish.

Maintenance

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 deformation.
