SECURITY PRECAUTIONS
This appliance was produced under strict quality controls.
It complies with all established international safety standards.
Nonetheless, the following instructions should be fully read and
observed in order to prevent any hazard:
Setting up the appliance
How the system is set up has an effect on the
sound quality. Therefore only place it on a suitab-
le, stable surface. To make the most of your
system's sound quality, we recommend placing the
equipment on Vincent racks and not putting them
on top of each other.
Old electronic equipment
This appliance is subject to the conditions set out
in the European Directive 2002/96/EC, whose
implementation is regulated in Germany by the
Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG).
This is identified by the symbol of a crossed out
waste bin on the appliance.
What this means for
you as a consumer: All old electrical and electro-
nic equipment that is no longer used must be dis-
posed of separately from domestic waste using
places provided by the authorities. By doing so
you can prevent damage to the environment and
help to encourage manufacturers to produce more
durable or reusable products. For further informa-
tion about disposing your old appliance, please
consult your local authority, waste disposal agen-
cy or the shop where you bought the product.
CE sign
This appliance complies with the current EU direc-
tives about attaining the CE mark and thus meets
the requirements for electrical and electronic
equipment (EMC regulations, regulations and
regulations for low voltage equipment.)

Cleaning
Pull out the plug before cleaning the outside of the
product. Whenever possible, use a soft, lint-free
cloth that has been dampened. Do not use abrasi-
ves, solvents, thinners, flammable chemicals, polis-
hes and other cleaning products that leave marks.
Batteries
Take note of the instructions for using batteries in
the chapter “Remote control”.
Maintenance/Alterations
All equipment that is connected to the domestic
mains voltage can be dangerous to the user if not
handled properly. Leave maintenance work to
qualified professionals. The product is only permit-
ted for connection to AC 230Volt/50Hz, for eart-
hed sockets and use in enclosed areas. The pro-
duct may not be altered or modified! After a fault,
leave the appliance's fuse to be replaced only by
a professional with one of the same kind.
Power cable/Connection
Always pull the plug and never the power cable if
you want to disconnect the appliance from the
mains power. Make sure when setting up the
appliance that the power cable is not squashed,
severely bent or damaged by sharp edges. Do not
touch the power lead with wet or damp hands.
Use the power cable supplied or another one from
Vincent.
Moisture/Heat/Vibration
Contact of electrically operated equipment with
liquids, moisture, rain or water vapour is dange-
rous for such equipment and the user and must be
avoided without fail. Take care that no liquids or
objects get inside the appliance (ventilation slots
etc.). It must be disconnected from the mains power
immediately and examined by a professional if
this happens. Never expose the appliance to high
temperatures (direct sunshine) or strong vibration.
Switching off
Switch the appliance off every time before you con-
nect or remove other components or loudspeakers,
disconnect or connect it to the mains power, leave
it unused for a longer period or want to clean its
outside. On all amplifiers and receivers, wait
approx. 1 minute after this before disconnecting or
reconnecting the cable.
Heat build-up
All amplifiers generate heat as part of their
design. Make sure that a gap of 5 cm remains
around the appliance and that the surrounding air
can circulate (do not install in enclosed cupbo-
ards). Vents must not be covered up.
Volume
The maximum tolerable volume is always reached
well below the maximum possible setting on the
amplifier. Be careful with the volume setting, there-
fore, in order to prevent damage to hearing. So that
you do not expose yourself to high volumes uninten-
tionally, always set to a low level before changing
the input channel.
