Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the receiver and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
On power sources•Before operating the receiver, check that the operating voltage is identical with your local power supply.
The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate on the back of the receiver.
•The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.
•If you are not going to use the receiver for a long time, be sure to disconnect the receiver from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.
•The AC power cord must be changed only at a qualified service shop.
On heat buildupAlthough the receiver heats up during operation, this is not a malfunction. If you continuously use this receiver at a large volume, the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not touch the cabinet.
•Place the receiver in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup and prolong the life of the receiver.
•Do not place the receiver near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
•Do not place anything on top of the cabinet that might block the ventilation holes and cause malfunctions.
•Do not place the receiver near equipment such as a TV, VCR, or tape deck. (If the receiver is being used in combination with a TV, VCR, or tape deck, and is placed too close to that equipment, noise may result, and picture quality may suffer. This is especially likely when using an indoor antenna. Therefore, we recommend using an outdoor antenna.)
•Use caution when placing the receiver or speakers on surfaces that have been specially treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discoloration of the surface may result.
On operationBefore connecting other components, be sure to turn off and unplug the receiver.
If you encounter color irregularity on a nearby TV screenThe front speakers, center speaker and the sub woofer are magnetically shielded to allow it to be installed near a TV set. However, color irregularities may still be observed on certain types of TV sets.
As the surround speakers are not magnetically shielded, we recommend that you place the surround speakers slightly further away from the TV set (page 15).
If color irregularity isobserved...Turn off the TV set, then turn it on again after 15 to 30 minutes.
