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 this

unit to rain or water.

• The voltage to be used must be the same as that specified

on the rear panel. Using this unit with a higher voltage than

specified is dangerous and may cause a fire and/or electric

shock.

• Do not use force on switches, controls or connection wires.

When moving the unit, first disconnect the power plug and

themselves.

• When not planning to use this unit for a long period (ie.,

vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from the wall

outlet.

• To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power plug

when there is an electric storm.

• Since this unit has a built-in power amplifier, heat will radiate

from the rear panel. Place the unit apart from the walls,

allowing at least 20 cm of space above, behind and on both

sides of the unit to prevent fire or damage.

Furthermore, do not position with the rear panel facing down

on the floor or other surfaces.
