SAFETY GUIDELINES
This appliance was produced under strict quality controls.
It complies with all established international safety standards.
Nonetheless, the following instructions should be fully read and
observed in order to prevent any hazard:
Setting up the appliance
How the system is set up has an effect on the
sound quality. Therefore only place it on a suitab-
le, stable surface. To make the most of your
system’s sound quality, we recommend placing the
equipment on Vincent racks and not putting them
on top of each other.
Old electronic equipment
This appliance is subject to the conditions set out
in the European Directive 2002/96/EC. This is
identified by the symbol of a crossed out waste bin
on the appliance.
What this means for you as a consumer:
All old electrical and electronic equipment that is
no longer used must be disposed of separately
from domestic waste using places provided by the
authorities. By doing so you can prevent damage
to the environment and help to encourage manu-
facturers to produce more durable or reusable pro-
ducts. For further information about disposing
your old appliance, please consult your local aut-
hority, waste disposal agency or the shop where
you bought the product.
CE sign
This appliance complies with the current EU direc-
tives about attaining the CE mark and thus meets
the requirements for electrical and electronic
equipment (EMC regulations, safety regulations
and regulations for low voltage equipment).
Cleaning
Pull out the power plug before cleaning the outside
of the product. Whenever possible, use a soft, lint-
free cloth that has been dampened. Do not use abra-
sives, solvents, thinners, flammable chemicals, polis-
hes and other cleaning products that leave marks.
Batteries
Take note of the instructions for using batteries in
the chapter "Remote Control".
Maintenance/Alterations
All equipment that is connected to the domestic mains
voltage can be dangerous to the user if not handled
properly. Leave maintenance work to qualified profes-
sionals. The product is only permitted for connection
to AC 230Volt/50Hz, for earthed sockets and use in
enclosed areas. Altering the product or manipulating
its serial number voids the warranty. After a fault,
leave the appliance’s fuse to be replaced only by a
professional with one of the same kind.
Power Cable Connection
Always pull the plug and never the power cable if
you want to disconnect the appliance from the
mains power. Make sure when setting up the appli-
ance that the power cable is not squashed, severely
bent or damaged by sharp edges. Do not touch the
power lead with wet or damp hands. Use the power
cable supplied or another one from Vincent.
Switching Off
Switch the appliance off every time before you con-
nect or remove other components or loudspeakers,
disconnect or connect it to the mains power, leave it
unused for a longer period or want to clean its outsi-
de. On all amplifiers and receivers, wait approx. 1
minute after this before disconnecting or reconnecting
the cable.
Moisture/Heat/Vibration
Contact of electrically operated equipment with
liquids, moisture, rain or water vapour is dangerous
for such equipment and the user and must be avoi-
ded without fail. Take care that no liquids or objects
get inside the appliance (ventilation slots etc.).
It must be disconnected from the mains power imme-
diately and examined by a professional if this hap-
pens. Never expose the appliance to high tempera-
tures (direct sunshine) or strong vibration.
Heat Build-up
Make sure that a gap of 5 cm remains around the
appliance and that the surrounding air can circula-
te (do not install in enclosed cupboards). Vents must
not be covered up.
Volume
The maximum tolerable volume is always reached well
below the maximum possible setting on the amplifier.
Be careful with the volume setting, therefore, in order
to prevent damage to hearing. So that you do not
expose yourself to high volumes unintentionally, always
set to a low level before changing the input channel.
ON
OFF
Do not open the appliance! Risk of electric shock!
There are no parts in the appliance that require maintenance by the user.
