Precautions for use
o
These units are very heavy, so take care to avoid injury during
installation.
o
Do not install these units in a location that could become hot. This
includes places that are exposed to direct sunlight or near a radia-
tor, heater, stove or other heating equipment. Moreover, do not
place them on top of an amplifier or other equipment that gener-
ates heat. Doing so could cause discoloration or deformation.
o
Avoid locations that are extremely cold or exposed to excessive
humidity or dust.
o
In order to enable good heat dissipation, leave at least 20 cm (8
")
between these units and walls and other equipment when install-
ing them.
If you put them in a rack, take precautions to prevent overheating
by leaving at least 5 cm (2
"
) open above the tops of the units and
at least 10 cm (4
"
) open behind them.
o
Place each unit in a stable location near the audio system that you
will use with it.
o
DO NOT place anything, not even CDs, CD-Rs, LP records or cas-
sette tapes, on top of the units. Doing so could cause damage.
o
Do not put cloth on top of the units or place them on top of bed-
ding or thick carpet. Doing so could cause them to overheat or
damage them.
o
Supply voltage to the power unit that matches the voltage indi-
cated on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding this
matter, consult an electrician.
o
Do not move the units during use.
o
Do not open the bodies of the units as this might result in dam-
age to the circuitry or cause electric shock. If a foreign object
should get into one of the units, contact your dealer.
o
When removing the power plug from an outlet, always pull
directly on the plug. Never pull on the cord itself.
o
If a TV is turned on while the unit is on, static might appear on the
TV screen depending on the characteristics of the TV broadcast
signal. This is not a malfunction of the unit nor of the TV. If this
occurs, turn the unit off.
o
Since ES-LINK is a format that is unique to ESOTERIC, do not con-
nect the HDMI cable used for it to ordinary HDMI connectors on
equipment made by other companies. They are not compatible.
Note about pinpoint feet
High-precision metal pinpoint feet are attached firmly to the bottom
plates of these units.
The stands for these feet are loose, but when a unit is placed in posi-
tion, it is supported by these pinpoint feet, which will effectively
disperse vibrations.

o
Apply the included felt pads to the bottoms of the foot-stands to
avoid scratching the surface where the units are placed.
Maintenance
Use a soft dry cloth to wipe the surfaces of the units clean.
For stubborn smudges, use a damp cloth that has been thoroughly
wrung out to remove excess moisture.
V
For safety, disconnect the power plug from the outlet
before wiping the units.
o
Never spray liquid directly on these units.
o
Do not use chemically-treated wipes, thinner or similar substances
because they could damage the surfaces of the units.
o
Avoid allowing rubber or plastic materials to touch the units for
long periods of time, because they could damage the cabinets.
