facturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting
accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
7. Wall or ceiling mounting.

when and as recommended by the manufacturer.
8. Ventilation.
Cooling fins on the rear of the amplifier are provid-
ed for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of
the product, and to protect it from overheating.
Fins must not be blocked or covered. The fins
should never be blocked by placing product on a
bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This prod-
uct should not be placed in a built-in installation
such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventila-
tion is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions
have been adhered to.

such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
products that produce heat. If placed near an

This product should be operated only from the
type of power source indicated on the marking
label. If you are not sure of the type of power
supply to your home, consult your product dealer
or local power company.
11. Grounding or polarization.
This product may be equipped with a polarized
alternating current line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into
the power outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully
into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug
should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to
replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of this polarized plug.
12. Power cord protection.

are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against them, paying particular

For added protection during a lightning storm,
or when it is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will
prevent damage to the product due to lightning
and power-line surges.
