IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This manual contains important instructions for the safe operation of the unit. Read and follow the safety
instructions and all other instructions. Keep the manual for future reference. Make sure that it is available to
all those using the device. If you sell the unit, please make sure that the buyer also receives this manual.
• Use only an approved power cable and plug or distribution board to connect your amplifier to a power outlet. Do not
use an extension cable.
• Never touch the mains plug if your hands are wet.
• Do not attempt to open the equipment. Refer servicing and repair to qualified service personnel. Touching live
components inside the case can result in a fatal electrical shock!
• Read the Owner’s Manual and Safety Precautions before operating the equipment.
• Keep this Manual in a safe place so that you can refer to it later.
• Please heed all warnings on the equipment itself and in the Owner’s Manual.
• Please follow the instructions contained in your Owner’s manual and never use this equipment for any purpose
other than is explained in this Owner’s Manual.
• Only connect this equipment to a power source of the type described in the Owner’s Manual and specified for this
equipment.
• Make sure that there is adequate ventilation around the equipment to allow proper cooling. Keep the equipment
away from direct sunlight. Avoid installing the unit close to sources of heat or in spaces such as bookshelves or
cupboards where heat radiation may be obstructed. Avoid excessive temperatures in the room, as these could
ultimately damage sensitive components and reduce the service life of your player.
• Never use the unit in damp rooms, at temperatures of below 15°C, or in the open air. When bringing your amplifier
in from the cold, allow it time to achieve room temperature before plugging it in.
• Always switch the unit off before removing or inserting interconnects. Doing this with the amplifier switched on can
damage not only the amplifier itself but also equipment connected to it.
• If you ever spill water or any other liquid onto the equipment: Do not touch the case! Remove the plug from the wall
outlet and contact your dealer or our service department.
• Never remove the earth connection from the plug. It is there to ensure your safety.
• Arrange the power cable so that no one can accidentally stand on it. Avoid locating it under objects that might put
pressure on the cable. Pay particular attention to areas where the cable exits from plugs, AC outlets and from the
unit itself.
• Never operate the unit without being present. Disconnect the plug from the wall outlet and remove all aerial
connections (including cable aerials) when: you clean the unit, you do not expect to use the unit for long periods of
time, during an electrical storm.
• If you have an external antenna or cable antenna connected to your hi-fi system, we recommend that you use a
signal isolating filter to avoid interference or damage during thunderstorms.
• Problems: If you lose the sound while the amplifier is operating, or if you notice smoke or burning, switch the unit
off immediately and contact your dealer or our service department.
• Only replace defective fuses after you have traced and removed the cause of the fault and then only with a fuse of
the same rating. Remove the mains plug before changing fuses. Use an insulated screwdriver to remove and replace
the fuse.
CAUTION
You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this manual could void your authority
to operate this equipment. Properly shielded and grounded cables and connectors must be used for connection to
host computers and/or peripherals in order to meet FCC emission limits. To reduce the risk of electric shock, the
speaker cable should be connected to the apparatus and the speakers in accordance with the following instructions.
DO NOT
defeat the safety purpose of a grounding or polarized plug by removing ground pins or using unsafe
adapters. A polarized plug has two blades - one wider than the other. A grounding plug has a third ground prong
in addition to the two main conductors. The wide blade or third groundling prong is provided for your safety. If the
provided plug does not fit your outlet, consult an electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. If you replace the power
cord, only use one of similar type and equal or greater current rating.
This product has been tested by ETL and has been found to be complying with:
• UL 60065, Second Edition, “Standard for Audio/Video and Musical Instrument Apparatus for Household,
Commercial, and Similar General Use”
• CSA C22.2 No. 60065-03, First Edition: 2006 “Audio, Video and Similar Electronic Equipment”
1) Disconnect the AC power cord from the MAINS.
2) Strip 10 to 15 mm of the wire insulation of the speaker cable.
3) Connect the speaker cable to the apparatus and the speakers carefully so as not to touch the core of speaker
cable by hand. Also disconnect the AC power cord from the MAINS before disconnecting the speaker cable from the
apparatus and the speakers.
DANGER
Hazardous Voltage
Hazardous voltage may be present at cable ends and screw terminals. The connection of screw terminals
as well as all maintenance and repair work on the electrical installation of the device must only be
performed by qualified electrical personnel in volt-free-condition. Failure to do so may result in electric
shock and risk of fire and loss of life.
By all means you have to observe all electrical safety instructions applicable at the place of operation.
DANGER
Electric shock caused by short-circuit
Always use proper ready-made insulated mains cabling (power cord) with a protective contact plug. Do not
modify the mains cable or plug. Failure to do so could result in electric shock/death or fire. If in doubt, seek
advice from a registered electrician.
