Important Safety Instructions
• WARNING: To reduce the risk of re or electric shock, do not expose this ap-
paratus to rain or moisture.
• The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no ob-
jects lled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
• Read these instructions.
• Keep these instructions.
• Heed all warnings.
• Follow all instructions.
• Do not use this apparatus near water.
• Clean only with dry cloth.
• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manu-
facturer’s instructions.
• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A
polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding
type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the
third prongs are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not t into
your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
• Only use attachments/accessories specied by the manufacturer.
• Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long peri-
ods of time.
• Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel. Servicing is required when
the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or
plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the ap-
paratus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate
normally, or has been dropped.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, DO NOT remove cover or back panel. No
user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualied personnel.
Important Safety Instructions (Continued)
• To help prevent electric shock, plug the power cable into properly grounded
sources. Use only properly grounded extension cords and adaptors, if they are
needed.
• The AC main plug is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall
remain readily operable.
• Make sure nothing is lying on any of the cables.
• Be sure the cables are located where they will not be stepped on or tripped
over.
• Do not spill food or liquids onto the unit.
• Do not push any objects into the free slots. Doing so will damage the unit, can
cause re or electrical shock, and can short out interior components.
• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other apparatus (including ampliers) that produce heat.
• Do not block cooling vents.
• Do not place the equipment in a closed-in wall unit.
• When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain relief loop,
not on the cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs; if
you are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before
disconnecting the cables.
• When you connect a cable, make sure both connectors are correctly oriented
and aligned before connecting to avoid bending connector pins.
• For PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet should be installed near the
equipment for easy access.
• Changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible
could void the user’s authority to operate this device.

can use the IR Extender Receiver provided to extend the reach
of IR signals from the remote control.
