1.1 Safety Instructions
DO NOT INSTALL YOUR RECEIVER:
In a closed or poorly ventilated cabinet; directly on top of or under any other
equipment; on a surface which might obstruct the ventilation slots.
DO NOT EXPOSE THE RECEIVER OR ITS ACCESSORIES:
•To direct sunlight or any other equipment that generates heat; to rain or intense
moisture; to intense vibration and to any shock which may cause permanent damage
to your receiver or to any magnetic objects, such as loudspeakers, transformers, etc.
•Do not use a damaged power cord. It may cause a fire or an electric shock. Do not
touch a power cord with wet hands. It may cause an electric shock.
•When the receiver is not used for a long period of time, you should unplug the power

•Do not use alcohol or ammonia based liquids to clean the receiver. If you wish, you
may clean your receiver with a soft lint-free cloth slightly made damp with a mild soap
solution, and only after disconnecting from the mains voltage supply. Make sure no
foreign objects fall through the ventilation slots because this could cause fire or an
electric shock.
•Do not place any objects on top of the receiver because this might prevent proper
cooling of the components inside.

•Never try to open the receiver. It is dangerous to touch the inside of the receiver
due to high voltages and possible electrical hazards. Opening the receiver will void

•When you are connecting cables, be sure that the receiver is disconnected from the
mains supply voltage. Wait a few seconds after switching off the receiver before you
move the receiver or disconnect any equipment.

ensure that the electrical power supply corresponds with the voltage on the electrical
identification plate at the back of the receiver.
