SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please carefully read each item of the operating instructions and safety precautions before using this
product. Use extra care to follow the warnings written on the product itself and/or in the operating
instructions. Keep the operating instructions and safety precautions for future reference.
Caution: to reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not remove any of the cover panels.
No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel only.
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not allow liquids to spill or objects to fall into any openings of the
product.
This unit is supplied with a 3 pin grounded ac plug. Always insert the ac plug into a grounded outlet. Do
not remove the ground pin or disable the ground for any purpose.
Before making any connections to the unit, first turn off the power and then disconnect the ac power cord.
When installing the unit in your system, make certain to allow a minimum of 1½ inches of ventilation on
each side of the unit. Also allow at least 2½ inches of ventilation space above the unit. Improper ventilation
of the unit may cause overheating, which may damage the unit and it to fail. Place the unit on a solid
surface only. i.e. not on carpet, etc.
Do not place the unit near heat sources such as direct sunlight, stoves, heat registers, radiators or other heat
producing equipment.
To prevent damage to the digital or analog output circuitry, be certain not to short the output signal pin(s)
to ground. Ensure that your output cables do not have any internal shorts before connecting them.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Due to the computer-based circuitry used in this product, it is imperative that the player be connected to a
ground via its three-wire AC power cord. It is important that the AC power outlet, which the unit is plugged
into, is actually grounded. Failure to do so will severely compromise the performance, reliability and safety of
use of the unit.
It is also important to prevent contact with static electricity when connecting other components and cables to
the unit. When connecting cables, simply place one hand on top of the player and then grasp the metal “barrel”
of the cable with the other hand and plug (unplug) the cable into (from) the appropriate jack on the unit.
At times a snapping sound may occur or the unit may “lockup” and fail to operate. This is NOT A
MALFUNCTION of the unit. This is normally caused by exposure to static electricity and can be cured by
turning off the power amplifier(s) and then turning the unit off and then on with the rear mounted power
switch.
Ventilation is an important issue when placing the unit in a system. Make certain that the unit is in a well-
ventilated area or rack unit.
Please take note, that some power line conditioners defeat the AC power ground on their outlets. If the
intention is to plug the unit into a line conditioner, check with your dealer to make certain that the particular
conditioner that is intended for use DOES NOT DEFEAT THE AC GROUND on its AC outlets.
DO NOT remove the cover from the player, as there are no user serviceable components inside. Refer
servicing and updating to qualified service personnel only.
