VACUUM TUBE CONTROL AMPLIFIER CL-38uSE
1
Precautions
Installation place
Install this unit in a location where good ventilation and heat
radiation is assured.
Do not install it where the temperature is high such as in
direct sunlight, or where it is dusty or humid, as this could
result in damage to this unit despite proper heat radiation.
Ventilation holes
The ventilation holes of this product must not be blocked
because this unit is a vacuum tube amplifier and generates
considerable heat. If the amplifier is installed on a rack or
the like, secure ample space for cooling and leave the door
open. Do not pile up other things on the amplifier and never
put articles on it. Failure to observe this may cause a mal-
function.
Note:
For heat dispersal, do not install this equipment in a con-
fined space such as a book case or similar unit.

Precautions in connecting with other
components
When connecting this unit with a CD/DVD player, tuner,
or another input unit, turn off the power switches of this
unit and all other connected units. Otherwise, a very strong
noise may be generated and destroy the speakers.
In the worst case, this can cause equipment malfunction.
The pin-plug to be inserted in each input terminal of this
unit shall be pushed in firmly. If the grounding terminal is
inadequately connected, noises including hum may be gen-
erated, resulting in an adverse S/N ratio.
The sound is not generated shortly after
the power supply is turned on.
This amplifier is equipped with a time muting circuit in order
to separate the output circuit.
Therefore, no sound will be generated shortly after the pow-
er supply is turned on. If the volume control is moved to a
high sound level before the time muting circuit is canceled,
a large sound is suddenly generated. We therefore advise
initially setting the volume control at a low level. After that,
you may move the volume control to your favorite sound
level after the initial sound has come out of the speakers.
Batteries
Caution:
Batteries used for the remote control shall not be exposed
to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.
Repair and adjustment
When repairs and adjustments are needed, please consult
with the dealer where you bought the unit.
Cleaning
For cleaning, use a piece of soft cloth to wipe the unit such
as cleaning cloth. When the dirt is hard to remove, use a
small amount of neutral detergent to wipe, and then wipe
the unit with dry cloth. Do not use a solvent like benzine or
thinner because such a substance can damage the exterior.
Safety caution
Caution
This unit is a vacuum tube control amplifier. Be careful not to
touch this product with your bare hand because it gets hot
when the power is on. For safety, do not use this product in a
place where children or unchained animals are present.
