All slide faders are subject
to
wear. Excessive force can wear out the faders quickl
y.
User-replaceable slide faders are not
covered
by
our warranty.
Never use spray cleaners on the slide controls. Residues cause excessive dirt build-up and this will
vo
id your warranty. In
normal use, slide controls can last for many years. If they malfunction (usually because
of
a dirty or dusty environment),
consult a professional technician.
Always make sure that AC power is off while making any connections .
Use appropriate cables throughout your system. Do not use excessively long cables (i.e. over 32 feet / 10 me
te
rs).
Be sure
plugs and jacks are tightly mated. Loose connections can cause hum, noise,
or
inte
rm
ittents that could easily damage
your speakers. Make the input and output connections with readily available low-capacitance stereo cables. Cable quality
makes a big difference
in
audio fidelity and "punch." See your Denon Pro dealer
or
an
electronics
or
audio specialist store
if
you are not sure which cables
to
use.
Never attempt
to
make any adjustments other than those described in this manual,
or
repairs. Take the unit
to
your dealer
or
to
an
authorized Denon Pro service center.
Always remember:
tum
amps on last and off first. Begin with master faders
or
volume controls on minimum and the
amplifier gain/input control(s) down. Wait
8-10
seconds before turning up the volume. This preven
ts
transients which may
cause severe speaker damage.
Use restraint when operating controls. Try
to
move them slowly. Rapid adjustments could damage equipment due
to
amplifier clipping.
Avoid amplifier "clipping" at all costs: this occurs when the
red
LEDs
(usually
on
the front panel
of
most professional
power amplifiers) start flashing. "Clipping" is when the power amplifier is distorting and working beyond its limits.
Amplifier distortion is the main cause
of
speaker failure.
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do
not
expose the unit
to
ra
in
or
moisture. Never place cans
of
beer, soda, glasses
of
water
or
anything wet near or on top
of
the unit!
Headphone outputs can be set
to
levels which can cause damage
to
your ears. Use caution .
This unit may contain a microcomputer for signal processing and control functions.
In
very rare situations, severe
interference, noise from an external source,
or
static electricity may cause
it
to
lock up.
In
the unlikely event that this
should happen, turn
off
the unit, wait
at
least five seconds, and then turn it back on again.
Under rare circumstances,
if
this product is exposed
to
electromagnetic interference during use, there may be a slight
drop
in
signal-to-noise ratio.
Intended electromagnetic environments: residential, commercial, light industrial, urban outdoors .
