17. Specifications.
All product specifications/features are
subject to change without notification.
Passive Products:
18.Amplifiers:
Amplifiers used to drive these units must
deliver a sufficient output power. A lack of output power may
lead to amplifier-clipping, which causes damage not covered
by guarantee.
Active (Powered) Products:
19.Ventilation.
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provid-
ed for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the
product and to protect it from overheating, and these open-
ings must not be blocked or covered.The openings should
never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug,
or other similar surface.This product should not be placed in
a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless
proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions have been adhered to. Make certain that the proper
space (more than 10cm) is provided both above and below
the unit for ventilation. If the amplifier will be installed in a
cabinet or other enclosed area, make certain that there is
sufficient air movement within the cabinet, with means pro-
vided for hot air to exit and for cool air to be brought in.
Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top of the unit or
place objects directly over them. Remember, power amplifiers
generate heat, and the heatsink fins and ventilation slots that
form part of the cabinet are specially designed to remove
this heat. Placing other electronic equipment near these
heat-dissipation systems may possibly affect the long term
reliability of both your amplifier and the objects placed
above it. Do not place CDs, record jackets, owner’s manuals
or other paper on top of or beneath the unit or in between
products containing amplifiers in a stack.This will block the
air flow, causing degraded performance and a possible fire
hazard.
20. Power Sources.
This product should be operated only
from the type of power source indicated on the marking
label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your
home, consult your product dealer or local power company.
For products intended to operate from battery power, or other
sources, refer to the operating instructions.
21. Grounding or Polarization.
This product may be equipped
with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having
one blade wider than the other).This plug will fit into the
power outlet only one way.This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician
to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety pur-
pose of the polarized plug.
22. Power-Cord Protection.
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 at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the product.To avoid safety haz-
ards, use only the power cord supplied with your unit. If a
replacement cord is used, make certain that it is of a similar
gauge. We do not recommend using extension cords with this
product. As with all electrical devices, do not run power cords
under rugs or carpets or place heavy objects on power
cords. Damaged power cords should be replaced immediate-
ly, by a qualified service technician, with cords meeting fac-
tory specifications. When disconnecting the power cord from
an AC outlet, always pull the plug; never pull the cord.
23. Non-use Periods.
The power cord of the product should be
unplugged from the outlet when left unused for long periods
of time.
24. Lightning.
For added protection for this product during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for
long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and discon-
nect the antenna or cable system.This will prevent damage to
the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
25. Overloading.
Do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords, or integral convenience receptacles, as this can result
in a risk of fire or electric shock.
26. Damage Requiring Service.
Do not attempt to service this
product yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Unplug this prod-
uct from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified ser-
vice personnel under the following conditions:
a.The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
b. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into, the
product; or
c.The product has been exposed to rain or water; or
d.The product does not operate normally when following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions, as an improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the product to its normal operation; or
e.The product has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged;
or
f. The product does not appear to operate normally or
exhibits a marked change in performance.
27. Object and Liquid Entry.
Never push objects of any kind
into this product through openings, as they may touch danger-
ous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire
or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing
and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be
placed on the apparatus.
28. Heat.
The product should be situated away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other
products (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Avoid
installation in extremely hot or cold locations, the use of
apparatus in moderate climates, in an area that is exposed to
direct sunlight or near heating equipment. When positioning
the product in its final location, make certain that it has ade-
quate ventilation on all sides, as well as on the top and
bottom.
