4 SAFETY INFORMATION

Verify Line Voltage Before Use
Your AVR 100RDS has been designed for use
with 220-240-volt AC current. Connection to a
line voltage other than that for which it is
intended can create a safety and fire hazard
and may damage the unit.

If you have any questions about the voltage
requirements for your specific model, or about the
line voltage in your area, contact your selling
dealer before plugging the unit into a wall outlet.

Do Not Use Extension Cords
To avoid safety hazards, use only the power cord
attached to your unit. We do not recommend
that extension cords be used with this product.
As with all electrical devices, do not run power
cords under rugs or carpets or place heavy
objects on them. Damaged power cords should
be replaced immediately with cords meeting
factory specifications.

Handle the AC Power Cord Gently
When disconnecting the power cord from an AC
outlet, always pull the plug, never pull the cord.
If you do not intend to use the unit for any
considerable length of time, disconnect the plug
from the AC outlet.

Do Not Open the Cabinet
There are no user-serviceable components
inside this product. Opening the cabinet may
present a shock hazard, and any modification to
the product will void your guarantee. If water or
any metal object such as a paper clip, wire or a
staple accidentally falls inside the unit,
disconnect it from the AC power source
immediately, and consult an authorized service
station.

CATV or Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is
connected to this product, be certain that it is
grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, 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 of the grounding
electrode.

Installation Location
■ To assure proper operation and to avoid the

potential for safety hazards, place the unit on
a firm and level surface. When placing the
unit on a shelf, be certain that the shelf and
any mounting hardware can support the
weight of the product.

■ Make certain that proper space is provided

both above and below the unit for ventilation.
If this product will be installed in a 
cabinet or other enclosed area, make certain
that there is sufficient air movement within
the cabinet. Under some circumstances a fan
may be required.

■ Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted

surface.

■ Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold

locations, or an area that is exposed to direct
sunlight or heating equipment.

■ Avoid moist or humid locations.

■ Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the

top of the unit, or place objects directly over
them.

Cleaning
When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a clean,
soft, dry cloth. If necessary, wipe it with a soft
cloth dampened with mild soapy water, then a
fresh cloth with clean water. Wipe dry
immediately with a dry cloth. NEVER use
benzene, aerosol cleaners, thinner, alcohol or
any other volatile cleaning agent. Do not use
abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the
finish of metal parts. Avoid spraying insecticide
near the unit.

Moving the Unit
Before moving the unit, be certain to disconnect
any interconnection cords with other
components, and make certain that you
disconnect the unit from the AC outlet.

Important Information for the User
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class-B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
The limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio-frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communication.
However, there is no guarantee that harmful
interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:

■ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

■ Increase the separation between the

equipment and receiver.

■ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a

circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.

■ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV

technician for help.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation.

NOTE: Changes or modifications may cause this
unit to fail to comply with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules and may void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.

The carton and shipping materials used to
protect your new receiver during shipment were
specially designed to cushion it from shock and
vibration. We suggest that you save the carton
and packing materials for use in shipping if you
move, or should the unit ever need repair.

To minimize the size of the carton in storage,
you may wish to flatten it. This is done by
carefully slitting the tape seams on the bottom
and collapsing the carton. Other cardboard
inserts may be stored in the same manner.
Packing materials that cannot be collapsed
should be saved along with the carton in a
plastic bag.

If you do not wish to save the packaging
materials, please note that the carton and other
sections of the shipping protection are
recyclable. Please respect the environment and
discard those materials at a local recycling
center.
