1)Servicing precautionsare printed on the chassis,and shouldbefollowed
closely
2)Always unplug the unitsACpowercordfromthe ACpowersource before
attempting to:(a) remove or reinstall any componentorassembly,(b)

been correctlyreinstalled.Makesurethat the area around the serviced
parthasnotbeen damaged.
4)Check the insulation between the bladesof the ACplug and accessible
conductive parts(examples:metalpanels,input terminalsand earphone jacks).
