high temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These 
conditions can damage the cabinet and other components, thereby 
shortening the unit’s service life.

Place it at least 15 cm away from wall surfaces to avoid distortion 
and unwanted acoustical effects.

Grasp the plug fi rmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the AC 
mains lead can cause electric shock.

Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric
