PROTECTING YOURSELF AND THE MPC2000
• Never touch the AC plug with wet hands.
• Always disconnect the MPC2000 from the power supply by pulling on the plug, not the
cord.
• Allow only an Akai Professional dealer or qualified professional engineer to repair or
reassemble the MPC2000.  Apart from voiding the warranty, unauthorized engineers
might touch live internal parts and receive a serious electrical shock.
• Do not put, or allow anyone to put any object, especially metal objects, into the MPC2000.
• Use only a household AC power supply.  Never use a DC power supply.
• If water or any other liquid is spilled into or onto the MPC2000, disconnect the power, and
call your dealer.
• Make sure that the unit is well-ventilated, and away from direct sunlight.
• To avoid damage to internal circuitry, as well as the external finish, keep the MPC2000
away from sources of direct heat (stoves, radiators, etc.).
• Avoid using aerosol insecticides, etc. near the MPC2000.  They may damage the surface,
and may ignite.
• Do not use denaturated alcohol, thinner or similar chemicals to clean the MPC2000.  They
will damage the finish.
• Modification of this equipment is dangerous, and can result in the functions of the
MPC2000 being impaired.  Never attempt to modify the equipment in any way.
• Make sure that the MPC2000 is always well-supported when in use (either in a specially-
designed equipment rack, or a firm level surface).
• In order to assure optimum performance of your MPC2000, select the setup location
carefully, and make sure the equipment is used properly.  Avoid setting up the MPC2000
in the following locations:
1. In a humid or dusty environment
2. In a room with poor ventilation
3. On a surface which is not horizontal
4. Inside a vehicle such as a car, where it will be subject to vibration
