FOR SAFE USE OF THIS UNIT
I
1. Use an ordinary household AC power source
Use lrom an AC power source of high voltage, such as for
air conditloners, is very dangerous.
Be extremely careful not to make a connection to the elec-
trical outlet for a large air conditioner or central-heating unit
which uses high voltage, because there is the possibility of
f ire.
2. A DC power source cannot be used.
I Connection and disconnection of the power
cord plug
1. Wet hands are dangerous.
A dangerous electric shock may result if the plug is touched
by wet hands.
2. Don't pull the power cord.
Always grasp the plug; never pull the cord itself.
AC outlet on rear panel
(not equipped for some countries)
Any equipment connected here should have specified power
consumption or less.
This outlet is exclusively f or the connection of other audio
equipment, such as a tape deck. Be sure the power con-
sumption does not exceed the wattage specified near the
AC outlet.
Never connect other electrical appliances, such as an iron
or toaster.
lf appliances with a large power consumption are con-
nected, an unexpected accident might occur as a result of
overheating.
I Never attempt to repair or reconstruct this unit
A serious electric shock might occur if this unit is repaired,
disassembled or reconstructed by unauthorized persons, or if
the internal parts are accidently touched.
I For families with children
Never permit children to put anything, especially metal, inside
this unit. A serious electric shock or malf unction could occur
if articles such as coins, needles, screwdrivers, etc. are inserted
through the ventilation holes, etc. of this unit.
I Turn olf after use
lf the unit is left for a long time with the power on, this will not
only shorten its usef ul operation life, but may also cause other
unexpected trouble.
I lf water is spilled on the unit
Be extremely careful if water is spilled on the unit, because a
fire or serious electric shock might occur. lmmediately dis-
I Place the unit where it will be well ventilated,
and away from direct sunlight
Place this unit at least 10 cm (4") away f rom wallsurfaces, etc.,
and away from direct sunlight. Be careful that curtains and
similar materials do not obstruct the ventilation holes.
I Keep the unit away from stoves, etc.
Heat can damage the external surfaces as well as internal cir-
cuits and components.
lnsecticides might cause cracks or "cloudiness" in the cabinet
and plastic parts of this unit. The gas used in such sprays might,
I Never use alcohol or paint thinner
These and similar chemicals should never be used, because
they may damage the finish.
I If trouble occurs
lf, during operation, the sound is interrupted or lamps no longer
illuminate, or if abnormal odor or smoke is detected, immedi-
ately disconnect the power cord plug, and contact your dealer
or an Authorized Service Center.
