Safety precautions
Placement
Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight, 
high temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration.
These conditions can damage the cabinet and other 
components, thereby shortening the unit’s service life.
Do not place heavy items on the unit.
Voltage
Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload 
the unit and cause a fi re.
Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully 
when setting the unit up on a ship or other place where DC 
is used.
AC mains lead protection
Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not 
damaged. Poor connection and lead damage can cause fi re 
or electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or place heavy items on 
the lead.
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 shock.
Foreign matter
Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can cause 
electric shock or malfunction.
Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric 
shock or malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect 
the unit from the AC mains supply and contact your dealer.
Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain 
fl ammable gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.

Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is 
interrupted, indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any 
other problem that is not covered in these instructions

or damage to the unit can occur if the unit is repaired, 
disassembled or reconstructed by unqualifi ed persons. 
Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the AC
