•
Unit should be situated away from heat sources.
•
Do not obstruct vents or exhaust fan.

If this product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having
one blade wider than the other), it will fit into the 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 the polarized plug. If this product is equipped with
a three-wire grounding type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin, it will only fit
into a grounding type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert
the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the grounding type plug.
A balanced line is a three-conductor system in which two signal wires carry an equal, but
opposite voltage with respect to the ground wire. The ground wire acts only as a shield
and does not carry any audio signal current. Outside interference is either shielded from
the internal signal conductor, or if it gets into the cable is cancelled out by the opposite
signals at the receiving end. Balanced connections are preferred for long cable runs.
An unbalanced cable is a two-wire system where the shield (ground wire) acts as one of
the current carrying signal conductors. The center conductor enclosed by the shield is
commonly known as the “hot” conductor. Unbalanced audio cables do not reject noise
as well as balanced lines. Unbalanced lines are typical in home hi-fi type systems and on
the outputs of electronic musical instruments. These work well if the distance between
the components is short, the signal level is relatively high and all of the electronics used
in the system are plugged into the same AC outlet.
