Important Precautions

!

This symbol is used to alert the operator to 
follow important operating procedures and 
precautions detailed in documentation.

This symbol is used to warn operators that 
uninsulated "dangerous voltages" are 
present within the equipment enclosure 
that may pose a risk of electric shock.

1.Save the carton and packing material even if the 

equipment has arrived in good condition. Should 
you ever need to ship the unit, use only the original 
factory packing.

2.Read all documentation before operating your 

equipment. Retain all documentation for future 
reference.

3.Follow all instructions printed on unit chassis for 

proper operation.

4.Do not spill water or other liquids into or on the unit, 

or operate the unit while standing in liquid.

5.Make sure power outlets conform to the power 

requirements listed on the back of the unit.

6.Do not use the unit if the electrical power cord is 

frayed or broken. The 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, 
paying particular attention to cords and plugs, 
convenience receptacles, and the point where they 
exit from the appliance.

7.Always operate the unit with the AC ground wire 

connected to the electrical system ground. 
Precautions should be taken so that the means of 
grounding of a piece of equipment is not defeated.

8.Mains voltage must be correct and the same as that 

printed on the rear of the unit. Damage caused by 
connection to improper AC voltage is not covered 
by any warranty.

9.Have gain controls on amplifiers turned down during 

power-up to prevent speaker damage if there are 
high signal levels at the inputs.

10.Power down & disconnect units from mains 

voltage before making connections.

11.Do not  turn the  power switch on the "ON" position 

if you do not use it.

12.Do not use the unit near stoves, heat registers, 

radiators, or other heat producing devices.

13.Do not block fan intake or exhaust ports. Do not 

operate equipment on a surface or in an 
environment which may impede the normal flow of 
air around the unit, such as a bed, rug, 
weathersheet, carpet, or completely enclosed 
rack. If the unit is used in an extremely dusty or 
smoky environment, the unit should be periodically 
"blown free" of foreign matter.

14.Do not remove the cover. Removing the cover will 

expose you to potentially dangerous voltages. 
There are no user serviceable parts inside.

15.Connecting amplifier outputs to oscilloscopes or 

other test equipment while the amplifier is in 
bridged mode may damage both the amplifier and 
test equipment!

16.Do not drive the inputs with a signal level greater 

than that required to drive equipment to full output.

17.Do not connect the inputs / outputs of amplifiers or 

consoles to any other voltage source, such as a 
battery, mains source, or power supply, regardless 
of whether the amplifier or console is turned on or 
off.

18.Do not run the output of any amplifier channel 

back into another channel's input. Do not parallel 
or series connect an amplifier output with any 
other amplifier output.

19.Do not connect any Bridged speaker Output to 

ground!

20.Non-use periods. The power cord of equipment 

should be unplugged from the outlet when left 
unused for a long period of time.

21.Service Information   Equipment should be 

serviced by qualified service personnel when:

A. The power supply cord or the plug has been 

damaged.

B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the 

equipment.

C. The equipment has been exposed rain.

D. The equipment does not appear to operate normally, 

or exhibits a marked change in performance.

E. The equipment has been dropped, or the enclosure 

damaged.

22.To obtain service, contact your nearest dealer.
