Important Safety Precautions!
General:
1. Unpacking: Check the product carefully.
If it has been damaged in transit, report the
damage immediately by calling your dealer
and/or the shipping company that deliv-
ered it.
2. Connections: Whenever changing, con-
necting or disconnecting signal or power
cables etc., always turn off all equipment.
This prevents transients from entering the
equipment and prevents electrical energy
from reaching you. Keep all connections
out of the reach of children. Before moving
the unit, be certain to disconnect any
interconnection cords with other compo-
nents, and make certain that you discon-
nect any powered units from the AC outlet.
3. Read Instructions. All the safety and
operating instructions should be read
before the product is operated.
4. Retain Instructions. The safety and ope-
rating instructions should be retained for
future reference.
5. Heed Warnings. All warnings on the pro-
duct and in the operating instructions
should be adhered to.
6. Follow Instructions. All operating and
use instructions should be followed.
7. Water and Moisture. The product should
not be used near water – for example, near

tions/features are subject to change with-
out notification.
Passive Products:
18. Amplifiers: Amplifiers used to drive
these units must deliver a sufficient output
power. A lack of output power may lead to
amplifier-clipping, which causes damage
not covered by guarantee.
Active (Powered) Products:
19. Ventilation. Slots and openings in the
cabinet are provided for ventilation and to
ensure reliable operation of the product
and to protect it from overheating, and
these openings must not be blocked or

installation such as a bookcase or rack
unless proper ventilation is provided or the
manufacturer’s instructions have been
adhered to Make certain that the proper
space (more than 10cm) is provided both
above and below the unit for ventilation. If
the amplifier will be installed in a cabinet
or other enclosed area, make certain that
there is sufficient air movement within the
cabinet, with means provided for hot air to
exit and for cool air to be brought in.
Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the
top of the unit or place objects directly
over them. Remember, power amplifiers
generate heat, and the heatsink fins and
ventilation slots that form part of the cabi-
net are specially designed to remove this
heat. Placing other electronic equipment
