Notes:
1. Connect all cords firmly. lf connections are loose, there could be loss of sound or noise produced.
2. Do not connect up a power source which is larger than that indicated on the socket at the rear of the unit.
3. When plugging and unplugging connection cords, be sure to first remove the power cord from the AC outlet. Plugging / unplugging
connection cords without removal of the power cord can cause malfunctions or damage to the unit.
4, Never short-circuit the + and - speaker cords.
5. If the left and right speakers are connected inversely or if the speaker cords are connected with reversed polarity, the sound becomes
unnatural with ambiguous acoustic image positioning. Be sure to connect the speakers and speaker cords correctly.
