For proper heat dispersal, do not install this unit 

in a confined space, such as a bookcase or similar 

enclosure.
• 

More than 0.3 m (12 in.) is recommended.

• 

Do not place any other equipment on this unit.

safety

important safety instructions

1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.

Unplug the unit from the mains supply before cleaning.
The case should normally only require a wipe with a soft, 

lint-free cloth. Do not use chemical solvents for cleaning.
We do not advise the use of furniture cleaning sprays or 

polishes as they can cause permanent white marks.

7. Do not block any of the ventilation openings. 

Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s 

instructions.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as 

radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus 

(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or 

grounding type plug. 

A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the 

other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third 

grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong 

is provided for your safety. When the provided plug 

does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for 

replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked 

on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience 

receptacles, and the point where they exit from the 

apparatus.
11. only use the attachments/accessories specified by 

the manufacturer.
12. use only with a cart, stand, 

tripod, bracket, or table specified 

by the manufacturer, or sold with 

the apparatus.

 When a cart is used, use caution 

when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid 

injury from tip-over. 

13. unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or 

when unused for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. 

Servicing is required when the apparatus has been 

damaged in any way, such as power supply cord or plug 

is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen 

into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to 

rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been 

dropped.

15. object or liquid entry

WArnIng – Take care that objects do not fall and 

liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through any 

openings. The equipment shall not be exposed to 

dripping or splashing. Liquid-filled objects such as vases 

should not be placed on the equipment.

16. service instructions

CAUTIOn – These servicing instructions are for use by 

qualified service personnel only. To reduce the risk of 

electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than 

that contained in the operating instructions unless you 

are qualified to do so.

17. Climate

The equipment has been designed for use in moderate 

climates and in domestic situations. Unplug this 

equipment during lightning storms to prevent possible 

damage from a strike or mains surge.

18. Power sources

Only connect the equipment to a power supply of 

the type described in the operating instructions or as 

marked on the equipment.
The primary method of isolating the equipment from 

the mains supply is to remove the mains plug. The 

equipment must be installed in a manner that makes 

disconnection possible.

19. Power-cord protection

Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not 

likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon 

or against them. Pay particular attention to the point 

where they exit from the equipment.

20. Power lines

Locate any outdoor antenna/aerial away from power 

lines.

21. speaker connections

Any speakers must be connected to the AVr360 using 

class II wire (i.e. no connection to Earth should be 

made). Failure to observe this precaution may cause the 

unit to become damaged.

22. non-use periods

If the equipment is not being used for an extended 

period, we recommend that you unplug the power cord 

of the equipment from the outlet, to save power.

23. abnormal smell

If an abnormal smell or smoke is detected from the 

equipment, turn the power off immediately and unplug 

the equipment from the wall outlet. Contact your dealer 

and do not reconnect the equipment.

Caution: to reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back). no user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified 

service personnel.

WaRninG: to reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of 

uninsulated ‘dangerous voltage’ within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric 

shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and 

maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

Caution: in Canada and the usa, to prevent electric shock, match the wide blade of the plug to the wide slot in the socket 

and insert the plug fully into the socket.

class ii product

This equipment is a Class II or double 

insulated electrical appliance. It has been 

designed in such a way that it does not 

require a safety connection to electrical 

earth (‘ground’ in the U.S.).
