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.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.
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.

Before Use
Read this before operation
<
As the unit may become warm during operation, always leave
sufficient space around the unit for ventilation.
The ventilation holes should not be covered. Make sure there
is at least 20 cm (8") of space above and at least 5 cm (2") of
space on each side of the unit. Do NOT place anything on top
of the unit.
<
The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage as
printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding
this matter, consult an electrician.
<
Choose the installation location of your unit carefully. Avoid
placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat. Also
avoid locations subject to vibrations and excessive dust, heat,
cold or moisture.
<
Do not place the unit on the amplifier/receiver.
<
Do not open the cabinet as this might result in damage to the
circuitry or electrical shock. If a foreign object should get into
the unit, contact your dealer or service company.
<
When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always
pull directly on the plug, never yank the cord.
<
Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents as
this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry or slightly
damp cloth.
<
To protect easily scratched furniture, you may stick the felt
supplied with the unit to the feet.

Maintenance
If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe with a soft cloth or
use diluted neutral cleaning liquid. Be sure to remove any
fluid completely. Do not use thinner, benzine (naphtha) or
alcohol as they may damage the surface of the unit.
Short Circuit and Output Protection
"OVER LEVEL" blinks on the display when the short circuit
protection (or the output protection) is activated. In this case,
turn the unit off and check the speaker cables. The metal
portions of the two separate wires should not touch.
If there is no shorted wire, turn down the volume using the
VOLUME knob.
Thermal Overload Protection
"HIGH TEMP" blinks on the display when the overload
protection is activated. In this case, turn the unit off and leave
it for a few hours to cool it down.
Also check the location of your unit. Place the unit in a cool
place, and always leave sufficient space around the unit for
ventilation.

Speaker Connections
CAUTION:
<
Switch off the power to all equipment before making
connections.
<
Read the instructions of each component you intend to use
with this unit.
<
Be sure to insert each plug securely. To prevent hum and
noise, avoid bundling the signal interconnection cables
together with the AC power cord or speaker cables.
Note:
<
The black speaker terminals are ­ (negative).
Generally, the + side of the speaker cable is marked to make
it distinguishable from the ­ side of the cable. Connect this
marked side to the + terminal and the unmarked side to the
black ­ terminal.
<
The metal portions of the two separate wires should not
touch or an electrical short can occur. Shorted wires can
create a fire hazard or induce a failure in your equipment.
<
Ideally, left and right speaker cables should be the same
length. And the length of cables should be as short as
possible for better sound quality.
Connection using speaker cables with
spades or bare wire
1. Turn the terminal cap counterclockwise to loosen it. The
speaker terminal caps cannot be fully removed from the base.
2. Insert the wire or spade into the terminal and turn the
terminal cap clockwise to securely connect it:
Make sure none of the wire insulation is under the terminal,
only the bare, stripped wire.
3. Make sure it is fastened firmly by pulling the cable lightly.
Right
Speaker
Connection using speaker cables with
banana plugs
Tighten the terminal cap and insert a banana plug.
<
The inside diameter of spades should be 8 mm or more.
When your speaker cable has bare wire at the end
Prepare the speaker cables for connection by stripping off
approximately 10 mm (1/2") or less of the outer insulation.
(Removing too much insulation may lead to a short circuit if
the bared wired should come in contact with each other.)
Twist the strands of the stripped wires tightly together.
The thickness of wires should be less than 4 mm (1/8").
