Precautions
Safety
•If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it
checked by qualified personnel before operating it any
further.
•The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source
(mains) as long as it is connected to the mains outlet, even if
the unit itself has been turned off.
•Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you do not intend to
use it for an extended period of time. To disconnect the cord,
pull it out by the plug, never by the cord.
Installing
•Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat
buildup.
•Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or
near materials (cur tains, draperies) that may block the venti-
lation slots.
•Do not install the unit near heat sources such as radiators, or
air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive
dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.
•Do not install the unit in an inclined position. It is designed to
be operated in a horizontal position only.
•Keep the unit and discs away from equipment with strong
magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.
•Do not place heavy objects on the unit.
•If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location,
moisture may condense inside the DVD Home Theatre
System and cause damage to the lenses. When you first
install the unit, or when you move it from a cold to a warm
location, wait for about 30 minutes before operating the unit.
On power sources
•AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified ser vice
shop.
On placement
•Place the receiver in a location with adequate ventilation to
prevent heat build-up in the system.
•At high volume, over long periods of time, the cabinet
becomes hot to the touch. This is not a malfunction.
However, touching the cabinet should be avoided. Do not
place the unit in a confined space where ventilation is poor
as this may cause overheating.
•Do not block the ventilation slots by putting anything on the
system. The receiver is equipped with a high power amplifier.
If the ventilation slots on the top surface are blocked, the unit
can overheat and malfunction.
•Do not place the system on a soft surface such as a rug
that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.
•Do not place the system in a location near heat sources, or
in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or
mechanical shock.
On operation
•If the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm loca-
tion, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may con-
dense on the lenses inside the system. Should this occur,
the system may not operate properly. In this case, remove
the disc and leave the system turned on for about half an
hour until the moisture evaporates.
•When you move the system, take out any discs. If you don’t,
the disc may be damaged.
The nameplate is located on the rear of the unit.
WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK
HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO RAIN OR
MOISTURE.
