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.

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.

•Do not place anything on top of the cabinet that might block the ventilation holes and cause malfunctions.

On operation

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

On cleaning

•Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
