OBSERVATIONS 

10.1. Ground loops 

It must be ensured at all times that the signal sources that reach the unit, as well as all 
the devices that are connected to its output, do not have the grounds interconnected, 
that is to say that the gounds never reach them by two or more different paths, since, in 
this way, buzzes could be produced that would even interfere with the quality of the 
sound reproduction. 

The shields of the cables, if they are connected to a chassis, must never be connected to 
each other. This way we avoid the formation of ground loops. 

10.2. Background noise 

GENIO has been designed to obtain the lowest possible background noise. Regardless 
of the electronic design, the background noise will depend directly on the correct use 
and installation of the unit. 

10.3. Cleaning 

The cover should not be cleaned with solvents or abrasive substances as there is a risk 
of damage to the screen printing. To clean it, use a cloth dampened with water and a 
neutral  liquid  detergent  and  then  dry  it  with  a  clean  cloth.  Under  no  circumstances 
should water be allowed to enter through any of the holes in the appliance.
