IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Read these operating instructions carefully before using the  
unit. Follow the safety instructions on the unit and the  
applicable safety instructions listed below. Keep these  
operating instructions handy for future reference.  
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched  
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the  
point where they exit from the apparatus.  
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the  
manufacturer.  
1) Read these instructions.  
2) Keep these instructions.  
3) Heed all warnings.  
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod,  
bracket, or table specified by the  
manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus.  
When a cart is used, use caution when  
moving the cart/apparatus combination to  
avoid injury from tip-over.  
4) Follow all instructions.  
5) Do not use this apparatus near water.  
6) Clean only with dry cloth.  
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in  
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.  
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when  
unused for long periods of time.  
8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators,  
heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including  
amplifiers) that produce heat.  
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.  
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been  
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug  
is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen  
into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to  
rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been  
dropped.  
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or  
grounding-type plug. Apolarized plug has two blades with  
one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two  
blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or  
the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided  
plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician  
for replacement of the obsolete outlet.  
Product Service  
Listening caution  
Be  
1. Damage requiring service —The unit should be serviced by  
qualified service personnel if:  
EST. 1924  
(a) The AC power supply cord or AC adaptor has been damaged;  
or  
(b) Objects or liquids have gotten into the unit; or  
(c) The unit has been exposed to rain; or  
(d) The unit does not operate normally or exhibits a marked  
change in performance; or  
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just  
purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now  
it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and  
excitement your equipment 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 distortion—and,  
most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.  
(e) The unit has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.  
2. Servicing—Do not attempt to service the unit beyond that  
described in these operating instructions. Refer all other  
servicing to authorized servicing personnel.  
3. Replacement parts—When parts need replacing ensure the  
servicer uses parts specified by the manufacturer or parts that  
have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized  
substitutes may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.  
4. Safety check—After repairs or service, ask the servicer to  
perform safety checks to confirm that the unit is in proper  
working condition.  
We recommend that you 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.
