Important Safety Instructions

WARNING:

 The rear panel power cord connector is the mains power 

disconnect device. The device must be located in an open area that 
allows access to the cord connector.
The unit must be connected to a power supply only of the type 
and voltage specified on the rear panel. (USA: 120V/60Hz,  
EC: 230V/50Hz)
Connect the component to the power outlet only with the supplied 
power supply cable or an exact equivalent. Do not modify the 
supplied cable. A polarized plug has two blades, with one wider than 
the other. A grounding plug has two blades plus a third grounding 
prong. These are provided for your safety. Do not defeat grounding 
and/or polarization safety provisions. If the supplied plug does not 
fit your outlet, please consult an electrician for replacement of the 
obsolete outlet. Do not use extension cords.
The main plug of the power cordset is a disconnect device of the 
apparatus. In order to completely disconnect the apparatus from 
the supply mains, the main plug of the power cordset should be 
unplugged from the mains (AC) outlet. The power LED indicator will 
not be lit up to show the power cord is unplugged. The disconnect 
device shall remain readily operable.
Do not route the power cord where it will be crushed, pinched, bent, 
exposed to heat, or damaged in any way. Pay particular attention to the 
power cord at the plug and where the cord exits the back of the unit.
The power cord should be unplugged from the wall outlet during a 
lightning storm or if the unit is to be left unused for a long period of time.
This apparatus shall be connected to a main socket outlet with a 
protective earth connection.
Use only accessories specified by the manufacturer.
Use only with a cart, stand, rack, bracket or shelf 
system recommended by Rotel. Use caution when 
moving the unit in a stand or rack to avoid injury 
from a tip-over.
Use Class 2 wiring for speaker connections to ensure proper insulation 
and minimize the risk of electric shock.
Immediately stop using the component and have it inspected and/
or serviced by a qualified service agency if:
•  The power supply cord or plug has been damaged.
•  Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled into the unit.
•  The unit has been exposed to rain.
•  The unit shows signs of improper operation.
•  The unit has been dropped or damaged in any way.
