IMPORTANT NOTES

291b
In addition to the items listed under "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS" and "USING THE UNIT SAFELY" on pages 2
and 4, please read and observe the following:

Power Supply

301
• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being
used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter
(such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air
conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in
which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may
cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it
is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power
supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.
307
• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to
all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to
speakers or other devices.
308
• Although the LEDs are switched off when the POWER switch is
switched off, this does not mean that the unit has been completely
disconnected from the source of power. If you need to turn off the
power completely, first turn off the POWER switch, then unplug
the power cord from the power outlet. For this reason, the outlet
into which you choose to connect the power cord's plug should
be one that is within easy reach and readily accessible.
Placement
351
• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment
containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To
alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move
it farther away from the source of interference.
352a
• This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do
not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
352b
• Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such
as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise
could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while
conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should
relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance
from this unit, or switch them off.
354b
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices
that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise
subject it to temperature extremes. Also, do not allow lighting
devices that normally are used while their light source is very
close to the unit (such as a piano light), or powerful spotlights to
shine upon the same area of the unit for extended periods of time.
Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
355b
• When moved from one location to another where the temperature
and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation)
may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if
you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before
using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until
the condensation has completely evaporated.
356
• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on the
unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or
otherwise harmfully affect the finish.
359
• Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument.
Peeling such matter off the instrument may damage the exterior
finish.
360
• Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on
which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the
surface.
You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to
prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure that
the unit will not slip or move accidentally.
Add
• Do not allow objects to remain on top of the unit while it is in
operation.
• Do not sit or lean on top of the unit.
Maintenance
401a
• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one
that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn
dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent.
Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry
cloth.
402
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to
avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Additional Precautions

553
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit's buttons,
sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and
connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
556
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector
itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing
shorts, or damage to the cable's internal elements.
557
• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during normal
operation.
558a
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit's volume
at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you
do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially
when it is late at night).
559a
• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box
(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you
will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
562
• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables that
incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use of such
cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low, or impos-
sible to hear. For information on cable specifications, contact the
manufacturer of the cable.
921
• To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other
devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on
all devices before making any connections.
922
• This instrument is equipped with balanced XLR/TRS type jacks.
Wiring diagrams for these jacks are shown below. Make connec-
tions after first checking the wiring diagrams of other equipment
you intend to connect.

941
• Once the connections have been completed (p. 11), turn on power
to your various devices in the order specified. By turning on
devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or
damage to speakers and other devices.
When powering up:
Turn on the power to the AC-90 last.
When powering down:
Turn off the power to the AC-90 first.
Add
• Wrap the AC cord around the cord hook when trans-porting or
storing the unit.
