Read this before operation
<
Place the unit in a stable location near the audio system that you
will use.
<
Be careful to avoid injury when moving the unit due to its weight.
Get someone to help you if necessary.
<
As the unit may become warm during operation, always leave
sufficient space around the unit for ventilation. Make sure there is
at least 20 cm (8”) of space above and at least 5 cm (2”) of space on
each side of the unit. Do NOT place anything such as a CD, CD-R,
LP, cassette tape etc. on top of the unit.
<
The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage as
printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding this
matter, consult an electrician.
<
Choose the installation location of your unit carefully. Avoid placing
it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat. Also avoid locations
subject to vibrations and excessive dust, heat, cold or moisture.
<
Do not open the cabinet as this will void your factory warranty
and might result in damage to the circuitry or electrical shock. If
a foreign object should get into the unit, contact your dealer or
Esoteric authorized service company.
<
When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull
directly on the plug, never yank on the cord.
<
Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
