Precautions
1. Recording Copyright
Unless it’s for personal use only, recording copyrighted
material is illegal without the permission of the copyright
holder.
2. AC Fuse
The AC fuse inside the A-1VL is not user serviceable. If
you cannot turn on the A-1VL, contact your Onkyo dealer.
3. Care
Occasionally you should dust the A-1VL all over with a
soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth dampened
with a weak solution of mild detergent and water. Dry the
A-1VL immediately afterwards with a clean cloth. Don’t
use abrasive cloths, thinners, alcohol, or other chemical
solvents, because they may damage the finish or remove
the panel lettering.
4. Power
WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST
TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CARE-
FULLY.
AC outlet voltages vary from country to country. Make
sure that the voltage in your area meets the voltage
requirements printed on the A-1VL’s rear panel (AC230 -
240V, 50 Hz).
5. Never Touch This Unit with Wet Hands
Never handle this unit or its power cord while your hands
are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid gets inside
this unit, have it checked by your Onkyo dealer.
6. Installing This Unit
•
Install this unit in a well-ventilated location.
•
Ensure that there’s adequate ventilation all around this
unit, especially if it’s installed in an audio rack. If the
ventilation is inadequate, the unit may overheat, lead-
ing to malfunction.
•
Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or heat
sources, because its internal temperature may rise,
shortening the life of the optical pickup.
•
Avoid damp and dusty places, and places subject to
vibrations from loudspeakers. Never put the unit on
top of, or directly above a loudspeaker.
•
Install this unit horizontally. Never use it on its side
or on a sloping surface, because it may cause a
malfunction.
•
If you install this unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the
sound quality may be affected. If this occurs, move this
unit away from the TV, radio, or VCR.
7. Moisture Condensation
Moisture condensation may damage this unit.
Read the following carefully:
When you take a glass containing a cold drink outside on a
summer’s day, drops of water, called condensation, form
on the outside of the glass. Similarly, moisture may con-
dense on the lens of the optical pickup, one of the most
important parts inside this unit.
— The unit is moved from a cold place to a warm
place.
— A heater is turned on, or cold air from an air con-
ditioner is hitting the unit.
— In the summer, when this unit is moved from an air
conditioned room to a hot and humid place.
— The unit is used in a humid place.
•
Do not use this unit when there’s the possibility of mois-
ture condensation occurring. Doing so may damage cer-
tain parts inside this unit.
If condensation does occur, leave this unit turned on for
two to three hours. By that time, the unit will have warmed
up and any condensation will have evaporated. To reduce
the risk of condensation, keep this unit connected to a wall
outlet.
For British models
Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power supply
cord of this unit should be performed only by qualified
service personnel.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with
the following code:
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus
may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the ter-
minal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
IMPORTANT
A 5 ampere fuse is fitted in this plug. Should the fuse need to
be replaced, please ensure that the replacement fuse has a
rating of 5 amperes and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to
BS1362. Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the
body of the fuse.
IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE FOR
THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME THEN THE
FUSE SHOULD BE REMOVED AND THE PLUG CUT OFF
AND DISPOSED OF SAFELY. THERE IS A DANGER OF
SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK IF THE CUT OFF PLUG
IS INSERTED INTO ANY 13 AMPERE SOCKET.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
