1.

To assure the finest performance, please read this manual
carefully.  Keep it in a safe place for future reference.

2.

Install this unit in a cool, dry, clean place – away from windows,
heat sources, sources of excessive vibration, dust, moisture and
cold.  Avoid sources of humming (transformers, motors).  To
prevent fire or electrical shock, do not expose the unit to rain or
water.

3.

Never open the cabinet.  If something drops into the set, contact
your dealer.

4.

Do not use force on switches, controls or connection wires.  When
moving the unit, first disconnect the power plug and the wires
connected to other equipment. Never pull the wires themselves.

5.

The openings on the cabinet assure proper ventilation of the unit.
If these openings are obstructed, the temperature inside the
cabinet will rise rapidly and eventually damage the circuits.
Therefore, avoid placing objects against these openings and do
not install the unit where the flow of air through the ventilation
openings could be impeded.

6.

Always set the VOLUME control to “– 

” before starting the audio

source play. Increase the volume gradually to an appropriate level
after playback has been started.

7.

Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents; this might
damage the finish.  Use a clean, dry cloth.

Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section regarding
common operating errors before concluding that the unit is faulty.
