CAUTION
Placement of the unit
o

ments such as in direct sunlight or close to a
source of heat. Moreover, do not place the unit
on an amplifier or any other device that gener-
ates heat. Doing so could cause discoloration,
deformation or malfunction.
V
Placement precautions
o
Do not put anything on top of the unit.
o
Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or close
to any source of heat, such as a radiator, heater,
open fireplace or amplifier. Moreover, avoid loca-
tions that are subject to vibrations or exposed to
excessive dust, cold or moisture.
o
Place the unit in a stable location near the audio
system that you will use with it.
o
Do not move the unit during use.
o
The voltage supplied to the unit should match
the voltage printed on the rear panel. If you are in
any doubt regarding this matter, consult an
electrician.
o
Since the unit could become warm during opera-
tion, always leave sufficient space around it for
ventilation. When placing this unit, position it so
that it is at least 5 cm (2
"
) from walls and other
devices in order to allow good heat dissipation.
When installing it in a rack, leave at least 5 cm (2
"
)
open above the unit and 10 cm (4
"
) open behind
it.
o
Do not open the body of the unit because this
could result in damage to the circuitry or cause
electric shock. If a foreign object should enter the
unit, contact your dealer.
o
When removing the power plug from the wall
outlet, always pull directly on the plug; never
yank on the cord.
o
If a TV is turned on while the unit is on, static
might appear on the TV screen depending on the
characteristics of the TV broadcast signal. This is
neither a malfunction of the unit nor of the TV. If
this occurs, put the unit in standby.
