1)

Read these instructions.

2)

Keep these instructions.

3)

Heed all warnings.

4)

Follow all instructions.

5)

Do not use this apparatus near water. 

6)

Clean only with a dry cloth.

7)

Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accor-
dance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8)

Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, 
heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including 
amplifiers) that produce heat.

9)

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or 
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades 
with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has 
two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade 
or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the pro-
vided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electri-
cian for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10)

Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, 
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the 
point where they exit from the apparatus.

11)

Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manu-
facturer.

12)

Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table speci-
fied by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. 
When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/
apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13)

Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when 
unused for long periods of time.

14)

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servic-
ing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in 
any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, 
liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the 
apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or 
moisture, does not operate normally, or has been 
dropped.

15)

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC 
SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS TO RAIN 
OR MOISTURE.

16)

DO NOT EXPOSE TO DRIPPING OR SPLASHING. DO 
NOT PLACE OBJECTS FILLED WITH LIQUID, SUCH AS 
VASES,ON THIS APPARATUS.

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT REMOVE TOP OR 
BOTTOM COVERS. NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. 
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. 

À PRÉVENIR LE CHOC ÉLECTRIQUE N’ENLEVEZ PAS LES 
COUVERCLES. IL N’Y A PAS DES PARTIES SERVICEABLE À 
L’INTÉRIEUR. TOUS REPARATIONS DOIT ETRE FAIRE PAR 
PERSONNEL QUALIFIÉ SEULMENT. 

PARA PREVENIR UN CHOQUE ELÉCTRICO, NO RETIRE LAS 
CUBIERTAS SUPERIOR O INFERIOR. NO EXISTEN PARTES 
QUE PUEDAN SER REPARADAS POR EL USUARIO AL INTE-
RIOR. REMITA EL SERVICICO AL PERSONAL TÉCHNICAL 
CALIFICADO.

TO COMPLETELY DISCONNECT THIS EQUIPMENT FROM 
THE AC MAINS, DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY CORD 
PLUG FROM THE AC RECEPTACLE. THE MAINS PLUG OF 
THE POWER SUPPLY CORD SHALL REMAIN READILY 
OPERABLE.

POUR DÉMONTER COMPLÈTEMENT L'ÉQUIPEMENT DE 
L'ALIMENTATION GÉNÉRALE, DÉMONTER LE CÂBLE D'ALI-
MENTATION DE SON RÉCEPTACLE. LA PRISE D'ALIMEN-
TATION RESTERA AISÉMENT FONCTIONNELLE.

PARA DESCONECTAR COMPLETAMENTE EL EQUIPO DEL 
SUMINSTRO ELECTRICO, DESCONECTE EL CABLE DE ALI-
MENTACION DE LA TOMA DE CA. LAS PATAS DEL CONEC-
TOR DEL CABLE DE ALIMENTACIÓN DEBERAN 
MANTENERSE EN BUEN ESTADO.

WATCH FOR THESE SYMBOLS:

The lightning bolt triangle is used to alert the user to the risk 
of electric shock.

The exclamation point triangle is used to alert the user to 
important operating or maintenance instructions.

REGARDEZ CES SYMBOLES

La triangle avec le sigle ‘’foudre’’ est employée pour alerter 
l'utilisateur au risque de décharge électrique. Le triangle avec 
un point d'exclamation est employée pour alerter l'utilisateur 
d’instruction importantes pour lors opérations de mainte-
nance.

ATENCION CON ESTOS SÍMBOLOS

El triángulo con el símbolo de rayo eléctrico es usado para 
alertar al usuario de el riesgo de un choque eléctrico.

El triángulo con el signo de admiración es usado para alertar 
al usuario de instrucciones importantes de operación o man-
tenimiento.

Important Safety Instructions

FCC COMPLIANCE NOTICE

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following 
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device 
must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired 
operation.

CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for 
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B 
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide 
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This 
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed 
and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to 
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a 
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or televi-
sion reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is 
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the 

receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

IMPORTANT

CE Series amplifiers require Class 2 output wiring.
Les amplificateurs de série de CE exigent des câbles de sortie de 
classe 2.
CE-Reihe-Verstärker verlangen Klasse die 2 Produktionsverdrah-
tung. 
Los amplificadores de la Serie CE requieren de un cableado de sal-
ida Clase 2.

MAGNETIC FIELD

CAUTION!  Do not locate sensitive high-gain equipment such as 
preamplifiers or tape decks directly above or below the unit. 
Because this amplifier has a high power density, it has a strong 
magnetic field which can induce hum into unshielded devices that 
are located nearby. The field is strongest just above and below the 
unit.

If an equipment rack is used, we recommend locating the ampli-
fier(s) in the bottom of the rack and the preamplifier or other sensi-
tive equipment at the top.
