Important Guidelines for Installation and Use

Do not place the power supply on a carpet. It can get warm during operation and some carpets can be damaged by di-

rect contact with warm surfaces. Place the power supply on a solid surface, such as a tabletop, shelf or rack shelf.

Do not connect the DMP-1's power supply until all audio connections have been made.

Place the DMP-1 where it will not be exposed to moisture or direct sunlight.

Install the DMP-1 and its power supply where they can get some ventilation. They don't produce a great deal of heat, but

using them in a sealed enclosure with no airflow could have long-term negative effects on the unit's circuitry.

Use a soft microfiber cloth to clean dust and fingerprints off of the DMP-1's surface. Stubborn fingerprints or dirt may be

removed by spraying a small amount of water or window cleaner onto the cloth, then using the moistened cloth to clean the
DMP-1. Do not spray any cleaner or other moisture directly onto the DMP-1.

You will get the best and most reliable performance from the DMP-1 by using high-quality digital audio cables. We rec-

ommend against using the "freebie" cables included with some components.
