BEFORE WE BEGIN
Thank you .......................
for purchasing this audio product. This is your assurance of quality, performance and value.
Our engineers have included many useful and convenient features in this product. Please be sure
to read this Owner's Manual completely to make sure you are getting the maximum benefit from each
feature.
This product was manufactured using the highest quality components and standards of
workmanship. It was tested by inspectors and found to be in perfect working order before it left our
factory.
However, there is always the chance that some problem may occur because of rough
handling during shipment to the retail store or to the final consumer. If, after reading this Manual,
you experience any problems with the operation of this product, please refer to the instructions
for obtaining services at the end of this Manual. Once again, thanks for purchasing this audio
product. For future reference, record the serial number in the space provided.
1. READ INSTRUCTIONS - All safety and operating instructions should be read before the product is operated.
2. RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS - The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.
3. HEED WARNINGS - All warnings on the product and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.
4. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS - All operating and use instructions should be followed.
16. POWER LINES - An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric
light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall
into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from
touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
15. LIGHTNING - For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused
for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will present damage
to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
4. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING - If an outside antenna or cable system is
connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810
of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard 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 1.
13. NON-USE PERIODS - The power cord of the product should be unplugged from
the outlet when left unused for long periods of time.
12. POWER-CORD PROTECTION - Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where exit from the product.
11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION -This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug
having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature: If you
are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician
to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
10. POWER SOURCES - This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking
label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company.
For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
5. CLEANING - Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
6. ATTACHMENTS - Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
9. 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, These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be
blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in
installation, such as a bookcase or rack,unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer instructions have been
adhered to.
7. WATER AND MOISTURE - Do not use this product near water - for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink,
or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool.
8. ACCESSORIES - Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table.
The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the product.
Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with
the product. Any mounting of the product should follow the manufacturer instructions, and should use
a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer. A Product and Cart Combination Should Be
Moved with Care - Quick stops, excessive force and uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart combination to overturn.
17. OVERLOADING - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result
in a risk of fire or electric shock.
18. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY - Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the
product.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence
of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the product enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute
a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
