4 SAFETY INFORMATION

Verify Line Voltage Before Use
Your AVR 200RDS 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 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 fac-
tory 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 con-
siderable 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, discon-
nect 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 con-
nected to this product, be certain that it is
grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and static charges.

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 immedi-
ately 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 compo-
nents, 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 gener-
ates, uses and can radiate radio-frequency ener-
gy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful inter-
ference 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 equip-

ment and receiver.

■ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a

circuit different from that to which the receiv-
er 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 harm-
ful 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 oper-
ate the equipment.

The carton and shipping materials used to pro-
tect 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 care-
fully 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 mate-
rials, please note that the carton and other sec-
tions of the shipping protection are recyclable.
Please respect the environment and discard
those materials at a local recycling center.
