Precautions

On safety

•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.

•To prevent fire, do not cover the ventilation of the receiver with newspapers, table cloths, curtains, etc. And don’t place lighted candles on the receiver.

•To prevent fire or shock hazards, do not place vases on the receiver.

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 at the rear of the receiver.

•The receiver is not disconnected from the AC power source (MAINS) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the receiver 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.

•Should the AC power cord need to be changed, have it done at a qualified service shop only.

On placement

•Place the receiver in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up 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.

•Although 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.

On operation

•Before connecting other components, be sure to turn off and unplug the receiver.

On cleaning
