Safety Instructions
Save these instructions for later use. Follow all instructions and warnings marked on the unit.
Always use with the correct line voltage. Refer to the manufacturer's operating instructions for power requirements.
Be advised that different operating voltages may require the use of a different line cord and/or attachment plug.
Do not install the unit in an unventilated rack, or directly above heat producing equipment. Observe the maximum
ambient operating temperature listed in the product specification.
Slots and opening on the case are provided for ventilation; to ensure reliable operation and prevent it from
overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. Never push objects of any kind through any of the
ventilation slots. Never spill a liquid of any kind on the unit.
Never attach audio power amplifier outputs directly to any of the unit's connectors.
To prevent shock or fire hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture, or operate it where it will be exposed to
water or excessive dampness. Do not remove vacuum tubes without unplugging power cord from AC mains.
Do not attempt to operate the unit if it has been dropped, damaged, exposed to liquids, or if it exhibits a distinct change
in performance indicating the need for service.
Caution!
Only qualified service personnel should open this unit. Removing covers will expose you to hazardous
voltages.
This triangle, which appears on your component,
alerts you to the presence of uninsulated
dangerous voltage inside the enclosure...voltage
that may be sufficient to constitute a risk of shock.
This triangle, which appears on your
component, alerts you to important operating
and maintenance instructions in this
accompanying literature.
Adhere to all warnings on the unit and in the operating instructions.
Take precautions not to defeat the grounding or polarization of the unit's power cord.
Do not overload wall outlet, extension cords or integral convenience receptacles, as this can result in a risk of fire or
electrical shock.
Route power supply cords so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them,
paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point at which they exit from the unit.
The unit should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna is connected to the playback system, be sure the
antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up 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 for the grounding electrode.
See figure.
Note to CATV installers: Article 820-40 of the NEC provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular,
specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of
cable entry as practical.
Power Lines: An outside antenna should be located away from power lines.
