IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Verify Line Voltage Before Use

the Avr  3650  and Avr  2650  have  been  designed  for  use  with  120-volt Ac  current. 

the Avr 365 and Avr 265 have been designed for use with 220 – 240-volt Ac current. 

connection  to  a  line  voltage  other  than  that  for  which  your  receiver  is  intended  can  

create a safety and fire hazard and may damage the unit. If you have any questions  

about the voltage requirements for your specific model, or about the line voltage in your 

area, contact your selling dealer before plugging the unit into a wall outlet.

Do Not Use Extension Cords

to avoid safety hazards, use only the power cord supplied with your unit. we do not 

recommend  that  extension  cords  be  used  with  this  product.  As  with  all  electrical  

devices, do not run power cords under rugs or carpets, or place heavy objects on them. 

damaged power cords should be replaced immediately by an authorized service center 

with a cord meeting factory specifications.

Handle the AC Power Cord Gently

when disconnecting the power cord from an Ac outlet, always pull the plug; never pull 

the cord. If you do not intend to use your receiver for any considerable length of time, 

disconnect the plug from the Ac outlet.

Do Not Open the Cabinet

there are no user-serviceable components inside this product. opening the cabinet may 

present a shock hazard, and any modification to the product will void your warranty.  

If water or any metal object such as a paper clip, wire or staple accidentally falls inside 

the unit, disconnect it from the Ac power source immediately, and consult an authorized 

service center.

CATV or Antenna Grounding (AVR 3650/AVR 2650)

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to this product, be certain that it is 

grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and static charges. 

Section  810  of  the  united  States  national  electrical  code,  AnSI/nfpA  no.  70-1984, 

provides  information  with  respect  to  proper  grounding  of  the  mast  and  supporting 

structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding 

conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and 

requirements of the grounding electrode.
note to cAtv SyStem InStAller: this reminder is provided to call the cAtv (cable tv) 

system installer’s attention to article 820-40 of the nec, which provides guidelines for 

proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected  

to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as possible.

Place the Receiver

place the receiver on a firm and level surface. be certain that the surface and any 

 

mounting hardware can support the Avr’s weight.
provide proper space above and below the receiver for ventilation. If you install the 

 

receiver in a cabinet or other enclosed area, provide cooling air within the cabinet.  

under some circumstances, a fan may be required.
do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top of the receiver or place objects directly 

 

over them.
do not place the receiver directly on a carpeted surface.

 

do not place the receiver in moist or humid locations, in extremely hot or cold locations, 

 

 in areas near heaters or heat registers, or in direct sunlight.
