Before using this unit please read these operating instructions
carefully. Take special care to follow the warnings indicated on the
unit itself as well as the safety suggestions listed below.
Afterwards keep them handy for future reference.
1. Power Source - The unit should be connected to power supply
only of the type described in the operating instructions or as
marked on the unit.
2. Polarization - If the unit is equipped with a polarized AC power
plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), that plug
will fit into the AC outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet,
try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact
your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
3. Power Cord Protection - AC power supply cords should be
muted so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them. Never take hold of the plug
or cord if your hand is wet, and always grasp the plug body
when connecting or disconnecting it.
4. Nonuse Periods - When the unit is not used, tum the power
off. When left unused for a long period of time, the unit should
be unplugged from the household AC outlet.
1. Ventilation - The unit should be situated so that its location or
position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. Allow 10 cm
(4") clearance from the rear of the unit.
2. Foreign Material - Care should be taken so that objects do not
fall into and liquids are not spilled into the unit. Do not subject
this unit to excessive smoke, dust, mechanical vibration, or
shock.
3. Magnetism - The unit should be Situated.away from equipment
or devices that generate strong magnetic fields.
4. Stacking -- Do not place heavy objects, other than system
components, on top of the unit.
5. Surface - Place the uniton a fiat, level surface.
6. Carts and Stands - The unit should he used only with a cart or
stand that is recommended by the manufacturer. The unit and
cart combination should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven sur-
faces may cause the unit and cart combination
to overtum.
7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The unit should no( be mounted to
a wall or ceiling, unless specified in this operating instructions.

Outdoor Antenna Grounding -- If an outside antenna is
connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1990, provides information
with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode. See figure below.

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just pur-
chased isonly the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to
consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equip-
ment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries
Association's Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most
out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the
sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or dis-
tortion-and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hear-
ing.
We recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure to excessive
noise.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level"
adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds "normal" can
actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level
BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
•Start your volume control at a low setting.
•Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and
clearly, and without distortion.
-Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
• Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage
or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
