location or position does not interfere with 

its proper ventilation.

When disconnecting the power cord, grasp it by the 

plug

To prevent conductor damage, always 

grasp the power cord by its plug when 

disconnecting it from this unit or from a 

power outlet.

Periodically clean the power plug

An accumulation of dust or foreign objects 

between the power plug and the power 

outlet can lead to fire or electric shock.
At regular intervals, be sure to pull out the 

power plug, and using a dry cloth, wipe away any dust 

or foreign objects that may have accumulated.

 CAUTION

Disconnect the power plug whenever the unit will 

not be used for an extended period of time

Fire may result in the unlikely event that a 

breakdown occurs.

Route all power cords and cables in such a way as 

to prevent them from getting entangled

Injury could result if someone were to 

trip on a cable and cause the unit to fall 

or topple.

Avoid climbing on top of the unit, or placing heavy 

objects on it

Otherwise, you risk injury as the result of 

the unit toppling over or dropping down.

 CAUTION

Before moving the unit, disconnect the 

power plug from the outlet, and pull out all 

cords from external devices.

Before cleaning the unit, disconnect the power 

plug from the outlet

If the power plug is not removed from the 

outlet, you risk receiving an electric shock.

Whenever there is a threat of lightning, disconnect 

the power plug from the outlet

outlet, you risk receiving an electric shock.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Power Supply

•  Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is 

being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled 

by an inverter or a motor (such as a refrigerator, 

washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner). 

Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance 

is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to 

malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not 

practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect 

a power supply noise filter between this unit and the 

electrical outlet.

Placement

•  Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other 

equipment containing large power transformers) may 

induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the 

orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from the 

source of interference.

•  This unit may interfere with radio and television 

reception. Do not use this unit in the vicinity of such 

receivers.

•  Noise may be produced if wireless communications 

devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity 

of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving 

or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you 

experience such problems, you should relocate such 

wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from 

this unit, or switch them off.

•  Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near 

devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed 

vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. 

Also, do not allow lighting devices that normally are 

used while their light source is very close to the unit 

(such as a piano light), or powerful spotlights to shine 

upon the same area of the unit for extended periods of 

time. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

•  When moved from one location to another where the 

temperature and/or humidity is very different, water 

droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. 

Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use 

the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the 

unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until 

the condensation has completely evaporated.

•  Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain 

on this unit for long periods of time. Such objects can 

deform or discolor the unit.

•  Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this 

instrument. Peeling such matter off the instrument may 

damage the exterior finish.

•  Depending on the material and temperature of the 

surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may 

discolor or mar the surface.  

You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber 

feet to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please 

make sure that the unit will not slip or move accidentally.

•  Do not place containers or anything else containing 

liquid on top of this unit. Also, whenever any liquid 

has been spilled on the surface of this unit, be sure to 

promptly wipe it away using a soft, dry cloth.

Maintenance

•  To clean the unit, use a dry, soft cloth; or one that is 

slightly dampened. Try to wipe the entire surface using 

an equal amount of strength. Rubbing too hard in the 

same area can damage the finish.

•  Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any 

kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or 

deformation.

Additional Precautions

•  Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s 

buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using 

its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to 

malfunctions.

•  When disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector 

itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid 

causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal 

elements.

•  A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during 

normal operation.

•  To avoid disturbing others nearby, try to keep the unit’s 

volume at reasonable levels.

•  When you need to transport the unit, pack it in shock-

absorbent material. Transporting the unit without doing 

so can cause it to become scratched or damaged, and 

could lead to malfunction.
