Precautions for use
o This unit is very heavy, so take care to avoid injury during
installation.
o Place the unit in a stable location near the audio system that will
be used with it.
o Do not install this unit in a location that could become hot. This
includes places that are exposed to direct sunlight or near a radia-
tor, heater, stove or other heating equipment. Moreover, do not
place it on top of an amplifier or other equipment that gener-
ates heat. Doing so could cause discoloration, deformation or
malfunction.
o Avoid locations that are subject to vibrations or exposed to exces-
sive dust, cold or moisture.
o This unit generates more heat than ordinary power amplifiers.
When installing it, install it independently at least 20 cm (8") from
surrounding walls and other barriers.
If you do place it in a rack, not only follow the instruction above,
but use one with ventilation openings, for example, and take cau-
tion with the temperature.
Failure to provide these gaps could cause heat to build up inside
and result in fire.
o Do not install it face up or on its side.
o Do not place anything on top of this unit. Do not place it on top
of bedding or thick carpet. Doing so could cause the unit to over-
heat or damage it.
o The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage as
printed on its back. If you are in any doubt regarding this matter,
consult an electrician.
o Do not move the unit during use.
o Do not open the body of the unit as doing so might result in
damage to the circuitry or cause electric shock. If a foreign object
should get into the unit, contact your dealer.
o When removing the power plug from an outlet, always pull
directly on the plug. Never pull on the cord itself.
