Track  One

Lightning: 

Before thunderstorms or other severe weather, disconnect the machine from wall 

power (but to avoid life threatening lightning strikes, not during a storm). Similarly, before 
any severe weather, disconnect all the power connections of other machines and antenna and 
phone/network cables which may be interconnected so that no lightning damage or overload 
results from such secondary connections.

Air circulation: 

Chassis openings offer ventilation and serve to protect the machine from over-

heating. Never cover or otherwise close off these openings. Never place the machine on a soft 
surface (carpet, sofa, etc.). Make sure to provide for a mounting space of 4-5 cm/2 inches to 
the sides and top of the unit when mounting the unit in racks or on cabinets.

Controls and switches: 

Operate the controls and switches only as described in the manual. 

Incorrect adjustments outside safe parameters can lead to damage and unnecessary repair 
costs. Never use the switches or level controls to effect excessive or extreme changes. 

Repairs: 

Unplug the unit from all power and signal connections and immediately contact a quali-

fied technician when you think repairs are needed – or when moisture or foreign objects may acci-
dentally have gotten in to the housing, or in cases when the machine may have fallen and shows 
any sign of having been damaged. This also applies to any situation in which the unit has not 
been subjected to any of these unusual circumstances but still is not functioning normally or its 
performance is substantially altered.   

 

 

 

 

 

In cases of damage to the power supply and cord, first consider turning off the main circuit 
breaker before unplugging the power cord. 

Replacement/substitute parts:

 Be sure that any service technician uses original replacement 

parts or those with identical specifications as the originals. Incorrectly substituted parts can 
lead to fire, electrical shock, or other dangers, including further equipment damage. 

Safety inspection:

 Be sure always to ask a service technician to conduct a thorough safety 

check and ensure that the state of the repaired machine is in all respects up to factory stan-
dards.

Cleaning: 

In cleaning, do not use any solvents, as these can damage the chassis finish. Use 

a clean, dry cloth (if necessary, with an acid-free cleaning oil). Disconnect the machine from 
your power source before cleaning.

Be very careful to check that the rear chassis power selection switch is set to the correct 
local line voltage position before using the unit (230 V position: 220-240 V/50 Hz, 115 V posi-
tion: 110-120 V/60 Hz)! 

When in doubt about a source, contact your dealer or a professional 

electrician. 

Before connecting any equipment make sure that any machine to be connected is turned off. 
Follow all safety instructions on pages 4 and 5 and read further information about the rear 
sockets and switches on pages 8, 9 an 10.

Placement

Place the unit on a level and stable surface. The unit’s enclosure is EMC-safe and effectively 
shielded against HF interference. Nonetheless, you should carefully consider where you place 
the unit to avoid electrical disturbances. It should be positioned so that you can easily reach 
it, but there are other considerations. Try not to place it near heat sources or in direct sunlight, 
and avoid exposure to vibrations, dust, heat, cold or moisture. It should also be kept away 
from transformers, motors, power amplifiers and digital processors. Always ensure sufficient 
air circulation by keeping a distance of 4-5 cm/2 inches to the sides and top of the unit.
