Precautions
On safety
Should any solid object or liquid fall into
the cabinet, unplug the receiver and
have it checked by qualified personnel
before operating it any further.
On power sources
Before operating the receiver, check
that the operating voltage is identical
with your local power supply.
The operating voltage is indicated on
the nameplate on the back of the
receiver.
If you are not going to use the receiver
for a long time, be sure to disconnect
the receiver from the wall outlet. To
disconnect the AC power cord (mains
lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull
the cord.
The AC power cord (mains lead) must
be changed only at a qualified service
shop.
On heat buildup
Although the receiver heats up during
operation, this is not a malfunction. If
you continuously use this receiver at a
large volume, the cabinet temperature
of the top, side and bottom rises
considerably. To avoid burning yourself,
do not touch the cabinet.
On placement
Place the receiver in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent heat
buildup and prolong the life of the
receiver.
Do not place the receiver near heat
sources, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, or
mechanical shock.
Do not place anything on top of the
cabinet that might block the
ventilation holes and cause
malfunctions.
Do not place the receiver near
equipment such as a TV, VCR, or tape
deck. (If the receiver is being used in
combination with a TV, VCR, or tape
deck, and is placed too close to that
equipment, noise may result, and
picture quality may suffer. This is
especially likely when using an indoor
antenna (aerial).)
Use caution when placing the receiver
on surfaces that have been specially
treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as
staining or discoloration of the surface
may result.
On operation
Before connecting other equipment, be
sure to turn off and unplug the receiver.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls
with a soft cloth slightly moistened with
a mild detergent solution. Do not use
any type of abrasive pad, scouring
powder, or solvent, such as alcohol or
benzine.
