Safety notes
All the components in this device fulfil the currently valid
German and European safety norms and standards.
We ensure that our products are of consistently high
quality, and meet all specifications, by checking all mate-
rials rigorously for quality, using meticulous production
methods and subjecting each unit to a fully automatic
computer-controlled final inspection.
For your own safety please consider it essential to read
these operating instructions right through, and observe in
particular the notes regarding setting up, operation and
safety.
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 observe the notes and information
in the section
' Installation and Wiring ' .
The power supply required for this unit is printed on the
mains supply socket. The unit must never be connected
to a power supply which does not meet these specificati-
ons. If the unit is not to be used for a long period discon-
nect 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
unit.
Liquid or foreign bodies must never be allowed to get
inside the unit through the ventilation slots. Mains volta-
ge is present inside the unit, and any electric shock could
cause serious injury or death. Never exert undue force
on mains connectors.
Protect the unit from drips and splashes of water; never
place flower vases or fluid containers on the unit.
This device should never be used without proper super-
vision. This applies to any electrical unit. Take care to
keep the unit out of the reach of small children.
The case should only 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 measures
described in these instructions, no work of any kind may
be carried out on the unit 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
 spe-
cialist workshop to check it.
The unit may be damaged by excess voltage in the po-
wer supply, the mains circuit or in aerial systems, as may
occur during thunderstorms (lightning strikes) or due to
static discharges.
Special power supply units and excess voltage protec-
tors 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 a risk of voltage surges arises (e.g. from imminent
storms), disconnect all the mains and aerial plugs from
the sockets in your HiFi system.
All mains power supply and aerial systems to which the
unit is connected must meet the current regulations and
must be installed by an approved electrical installer.
Note:
Many insurance companies offer lightning damage insu-
rance for electrical equipment as part of their household
insurance service.
