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.
WARNING: The rear panel power cord connector is the mains power disconnect device. The device must
be located in an open area that allows access to the cord connector.
The unit must be connected to a power supply only of the type and voltage specified on the rear panel.
(USA: 120 V/60Hz, EC: 230V/50Hz)
Connect the component to the power outlet only with the supplied power supply cable or an exact equivalent.
Do not modify the supplied cable. A polarized plug has two blades, with one wider than the other. A
grounding plug has two blades plus a third grounding prong. These are provided for your safety. Do not
defeat grounding and/or polarization safety provisions. If the supplied plug does not fit your outlet, please
consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. Do not use extension cords.
The mains plug is the disconnect of the unit. In order to completely disconnect the unit from the supply
mains, remove the main plug from the unit and the AC power outlet. This is the only way to completely
remove mains power from the unit.
Do not route the power cord where it will be crushed, pinched, bent, exposed to heat, or damaged in any
way. Pay particular attention to the power cord at the plug and where the cord exits the back of the unit.
The power cord should be unplugged from the wall outlet during a lightning storm or if the unit is to be
left unused for a long period of time.
Use only accessories specified by the manufacturer.
Use only with a cart, stand, rack, bracket or shelf system strong enough to support the unit. Use caution
when moving the unit to avoid injury or damage to the unit.
Power off the unit and allow the unit to cool before attempting to move to avoid injury.
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.
The batteries in the remote control should not be exposed to excessive temperature such as sunshine, fire
or other heat sources.
