Therefore, the appearance and techni- cal design of the appliance are subject to changes, as long as they are in the interest of progress. The content of these instructions is for information pur- poses only. It can be changed at any time without prior notice and does not constitute any obligation

Maintenance/Alterations

All equipment that is connected to the domestic mains voltage can be dangerous to the user if not handled properly. Leave maintenance work to qualified professionals. The product is only permit- ted for connection to AC 230Volt/50Hz, for eart- hed sockets and use in enclosed areas. The pro- duct may not be altered or modified! After a fault, leave the appliance's fuse to be replaced only by a professional with one of the same kind.

Power cable/Connection

Always pull the plug and never the power cable if you want to disconnect the appliance from the mains power. Make sure when setting up the appliance that the power cable is not squashed, severely bent or damaged by sharp edges. Do not touch the power lead with wet or damp hands. Use the power cable supplied or another one from Vincent.

Moisture/Heat/Vibration

Contact of electrically operated equipment with liquids, moisture, rain or water vapour is dange- rous for such equipment and the user and must be avoided without fail. Take care that no liquids or objects get inside the appliance (ventilation slots etc.). It must be disconnected from the mains power immediately and examined by a professional if this happens. Never expose the appliance to high temperatures (direct sunshine) or strong vibration.

 

ON

Switching off

OFF

Switch the appliance off every time before you con-

nect or remove other components or loudspeakers, disconnect or connect it to the mains power, leave it unused for a longer period or want to clean its outside. On all amplifiers and receivers, wait approx. 1 minute after this before disconnecting or reconnecting the cable.

Heat build-up

All amplifiers generate heat as part of their design. Make sure that a gap of 5 cm remains around the appliance and that the surrounding air can circulate (do not install in enclosed cupbo- ards). Vents must not be covered up.

Volume

The maximum tolerable volume is always reached well below the maximum possible setting on the amplifier. Be careful with the volume setting, there- fore, in order to prevent damage to hearing. So that you do not expose yourself to high volumes uninten- tionally, always set to a low level before changing the input channel.

Cleaning

Pull out the plug before cleaning the outside of the product. Whenever possible, use a soft, lint-free cloth that has been dampened. Do not use abrasi- ves, solvents, thinners, flammable chemicals, polis- hes and other cleaning products that leave marks.

Batteries

Take note of the instructions for using batteries in the chapter “Remote control”.
