SAFETY INFORMATION

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.

Installation Location

To ensure proper operation and to avoid the potential for safety hazards, 

 

place the unit on a firm and level surface. When placing the unit on a shelf, 
be certain that the shelf and any mounting hardware can support the 
weight of the product.

Make certain that proper space is provided both above and below the 

 

unit for ventilation. If this product will be installed in a cabinet or other 
enclosed area, make certain that there is sufficient air movement within 
the cabinet. Under some circumstances, a fan may be required.

Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted surface.

 

Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations, or in an area that is 

 

exposed to direct sunlight or heating equipment.

Avoid moist or humid locations.

 

Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top of the unit, or place objects 

 

directly over them.

Due to the weight of the 

 

AVR 460/AVR 360 and the heat generated by 

the amplifiers, there is the remote possibility that the rubber padding 
on the bottom of the unit’s feet may leave marks on certain wood or 
veneer materials. Use caution when placing the unit on soft woods or 
other materials that may be damaged by heat or heavy objects. Some 
surface finishes may be particularly sensitive to absorbing such marks, 
due to a variety of factors beyond our control, including the nature of the 
finish, cleaning materials used, and normal heat and vibration caused by 
the use of the product, or other factors. We recommend that caution be 
exercised in choosing an installation location for the component and in 
normal maintenance practices, as your warranty will not cover this type of 
damage to furniture.

cleaning

When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft, dry cloth. If necessary, and 
only after unplugging the AC power cord, wipe it with a soft cloth dampened 
with mild soapy water, then a fresh cloth with clean water. Wipe it dry 
immediately with a dry cloth. NEVER use benzene, aerosol cleaners, thinner, 
alcohol or any other volatile cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as 
they may damage the finish of metal parts. Avoid spraying insecticide near 
the unit.

moving the unit

Before moving the unit, be certain to disconnect any interconnection cords 
with other components, and make certain that you disconnect the unit from 
the AC outlet.

unpacking

The carton and shipping materials used to protect your new receiver during 
shipment were specially designed to cushion it from shock and vibration. We 
suggest that you save the carton and packing materials for use in shipping if 
you move, or should the unit ever need repair.

To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may wish to flatten it. This 
is done by carefully slitting the tape seams on the bottom and collapsing the 
carton. Other cardboard inserts may be stored in the same manner. Packing 
materials that cannot be collapsed should be saved along with the carton in a 
plastic bag.

If you do not wish to save the packaging materials, please note that the carton 
and other sections of the shipping protection are recyclable. Please respect 
the environment and discard those materials at a local recycling center.

It is important that you remove the protective plastic film from the front-
panel lens. Leaving the film in place will affect the performance of your 
remote control.
