Safety instructions Safety instructions Important notes regarding operation The following section contains important information relating to the operation, place of installation and connecting-up of the receiver. Read these notes carefully before putting the unit into operation. Extended absence / thunderstorms Always switch the unit off via its mains switch (at front left on unit) during periods of extended absence or at the onset of thunderstorms.
Safety instructions Important notes for siting and installation. Place of installation Every electronic device generates heat. The rise in temperature, however, lies within a safe range. Slight colour changes may occur to sensitive furniture surfaces and veneers over the course of time due to the constant effect of heat. In conjunction with treated furniture surfaces, the unit’s rubber feet can likewise give rise to changes in colour. Where necessary, place the unit on a suitable pad.
