• 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.
