1. Save the carton and packin g material even
if th e equipment has arr ived in good con-
diti on. Should you ever need to ship th e unit,
use only th e original fa ctor y packing.
2. Read all documentation before operatin g
your equipment. Reta in all documentati on
for future re fe re nce.
3. Fol low al l instruct ions pr inted on uni t
chassis for proper operati on.
4. Do not spill wate r or oth er liquids into
or
on the unit, or
ope rate
the unit
while
sta nding in liquid.
5. Make sure power outl ets confo rm to
the
power requirements liste d on th e back of
the unit.
6. Do not use the unit if th e electri cal
power
cord is fra yed or broken. The power
supply
cords sho ul d be routed so that they are
not likely to be walked on or pinched by
ite ms placed upon or against th em,
payin g
particular attention to cords and plugs,
convenience re ceptacles, and th e point
where they exit from the appliance.
7. Always operate the unit with the AC
ground wire connected to the electrical
system gr ound . Precaut ions shoul d
be
taken so that the means of groundi ng
of a piece of equipment is not defe ated.
8. Mains volta ge must be correct and the
same as that pri nted on the rear of the unit.
Damage caused by connection to impro per
AC voltage is not covered by any warra nty.
9. Have gain contr ols on amplifiers tu rn ed
down duri ng power-u p to pre vent
speaker
damage if there are high signal levels at
the inputs.
10. Power down and disconnect units
from mains voltage before making
conn ect ions.

11. Never hol d a power switch in the
"ON" position if it won' t stay there itse lf!
12. Do not use th e unit near sto ves, heat
registe rs, radiators, or other heat prod
ucing devices.
13. Do no t block fan int ake or exha ust

the cover will exp ose yo u to potentially
dangerous vo ltages. Th ere are no user
serviceable parts inside.
15. Connecting amp lifier outputs to
osc illosc opes or other test equipment
whi le the amplifier is in bridged mode
may damage both the am pl ifier and
test equipment!
16. Do not drive the inputs with a si gnal
level greater than that required to
dri ve
equipment to full output.
17. Do not connect the inputs / outputs
of am pl ifiers or cons ol es to any ot her
volta ge sourc e, such as a batt ery,
mains
sou rce, or power sup ply, regardless of
wheth er the amplifie r or console is tu rn ed
on or off.
18. Do not ru n th e outp ut of any amplifi er
