It complies with all established international safety standards. Nonetheless, the following instructions should be fully read and observed in order to prevent any hazard:
CAUTION! RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
There are no parts in the appliance that require maintenance by the user.
Setting up the appliance
How the system is set up has an effect on the sound quality. Therefore only place it on a suitab- le, stable surface. To make the most of your system's sound quality, we recommend placing the equipment on Vincent racks and not putting them on top of each other.
Declaration
Vincent works continually to improve and develop its products. 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.
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”.
Old electronic equipment
This appliance is subject to the conditions set out in the European Directive 2002/96/EC, whose implementation is regulated in Germany by the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG). This is identified by the symbol of a crossed out waste bin on the appliance. What this means for you as a consumer: All old electrical and electro- nic equipment that is no longer used must be dis- posed of separately from domestic waste using places provided by the authorities. By doing so you can prevent damage to the environment and help to encourage manufacturers to produce more durable or reusable products. For further informa- tion about disposing your old appliance, please consult your local authority, waste disposal agen- cy or the shop where you bought the product.
