WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the unit
to moisture or water. Do not allow foreign objects to get into the
enclosure. If the unit is exposed to moisture, or a foreign object
gets into the enclosure, immediately disconnect the power cord
from the wall. Take the unit to a qualified service person for in-
spection and necessary repairs.
Read all the instructions before connecting or operating the component. Keep
this manual so you can refer to these safety instructions.
Heed all warnings and safety information in these instructions and on the
product itself. Follow all operating instructions.
Clean the enclosure only with a dry cloth or a vacuum cleaner.
You must allow 10 cm or 4 inches of unobstructed clearance around the unit. Do
not place the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that could block the
ventilation openings. If the unit is placed in a bookcase or cabinet, there must
be ventilation of the cabinet to allow proper cooling.
Keep the component away from radiators, heat registers, stoves, or any other
appliance that produces heat.
The unit must be connected to a power supply only of the type and voltage
specified on the rear panel of the unit.
Connect the component to the power outlet only with the supplied power sup-
ply cable or an exact equivalent. Do not modify the supplied cable in any way.
Do not attempt to defeat grounding and/or polarization provisions. The cable
should be connected to a 2-pin polarized wall outlet, matching the wide blade
of the plug to the wide slot of the receptacle. Do not use extension cords.
Do not route the power cord where it will be crushed, pinched, bent at severe
angles, exposed to heat, or damaged in any way. Pay particular attention to the
power cord at the plug and where it exits the back of the unit.
The power cord should be unplugged from the wall outlet if the unit is to be left
unused for a long period of time.
Immediately stop using the component and have it inspected and/or serviced
by a qualified service agency if:
• The power supply cord or plug has been damaged.
• Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled into the unit.
• The unit has been exposed to rain.
• The unit shows signs of improper operation
• The unit has been dropped or damaged in any way
Place the unit on a fixed, level surface strong
enough to support its weight. Do not place it on a
moveable cart that could tip over.
