SAFETY NOTES

 
 

All  the  components  we  use  meet  the  currently  valid
German and European safety norms and standards.

 

Our  production  areas  are  supervised  by  highly  qualified
expert  staff,  and  all  final  production  units  are  checked
comprehensively  by  a  fully  automated,  computer-
controlled  system  to  ensure  uniformly  high  quality.  We
guarantee that our products meet our own specifications
to the full.

 

Please  read  right  through  these  operating  instructions
carefully  before  you  attempt  to  use  your  new  surround
receiver.  Note  in  particular  the  information  regarding
setting  up  and  operating  the  equipment,  and  the  safety
notes.

 

The unit must be  set  up  in  such  a  way  that  none  of  the
connections  can  be  touched  directly  (especially  by
children).  Be  sure  to  read  the  information  in  the  section
entitled 

'

Installation

'

.

 

The power supply required for this decoder is printed on
the  mains  supply  socket.  The  unit  must  never  be
connected  to  a  power  supply  which  does  not  meet  this
specification.  If  the  unit  is  not  to  be  used  for  a  long
period,  disconnect  it  from  the  mains  supply  at  the  wall
socket.

 

Mains leads must be deployed in such a way that there is
no  danger  of  damage  to  them  (e. g.  through  persons
treading on them or from furniture). Take particular care
with  plugs,  distribution  panels  and  connections  at  the
surround receiver.

 

Liquid or foreign bodies must never be allowed inside the
case. Protect the  unit  from  drips  and  splashes  of  water;
never place  flower  vases  or  fluid  containers  on  the  unit.
Mains  voltage  is  present  inside  the  unit,  and  there  is  a
risk of lethal electric shock. Do not exert undue force on
the mains connectors.

 
 
 
 
 

Caution!

 

The  mains  button  is  not  a  mains  isolation  switch.
Even when the green LED is not glowing, parts of the
machine  remain  connected  to  the  mains  power
supply.  If  the  decoder  is  not  to  be  used  for  a  long
period,  we  recommend  that  you  isolate  it  from  the
mains  by  pulling  out  the  mains  plug  at  the  wall
socket.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

This  device  should  never  be  used  without  proper
supervision. The surround receiver should be set up well
out  of  the  reach  of  small  children.  This  applies  to  all
electrical equipment.

The  unit  should  only  ever  be  opened  by  a  qualified
specialist  technician.  Repairs  and  fuse  replacements
should  be  entrusted  to  an  authorised 

  specialist

workshop.

With  the  exception  of  the  connections  and  procedures
described in these instructions, no work of any kind may
be  carried  out  on  the  surround  receiver  by  unqualified
persons.

If  the  unit  is  damaged,  or  if  you  suspect  that  it  is  not
functioning  correctly,  immediately  disconnect  the  mains
plug  at  the  wall  socket,  and  ask  an  authorised 

specialist workshop to check it.

The  unit  may  be  damaged  by  excess  voltage  in  the
power supply, the cable network or in aerial systems, as
may occur during thunderstorms (lightning strikes) or due
to static discharges.

Special  power  supply  units  and  excess  voltage
protectors  such  as  the 

  'Power  Bar'

  mains

distribution  panel  offer  some  degree  of  protection  from
damage  to  equipment  due  to  the  hazards  described
above.

However,  if  you  require  absolute  security  from  damage
due to excess voltage, the only solution is to disconnect
the  unit  from  the  mains  power  supply  and  any  aerial
systems.

If  you  believe  there  is  a  danger  of  excess  voltage  (e. g.
when  an  electrical  storm  is  building  up)  disconnect  the
surround receiver from the mains and the aerial socket.

All mains power supply and  aerial  systems  to  which  the
unit  is  connected  must  meet  the  currently  valid
regulations,  and  must  be  installed  by  an  approved
electrical installer.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Note:

 

Many  insurance  companies  offer  lightning  damage
insurance  for  electrical  equipment  as  part  of  their
household insurance service.
