assures best installation results with the least technical hassles.

•Please read this guide carefully before using your SLA5500 and keep it for future

reference.

Safety Precautions

•NEVER MAKE OR CHANGE CONNECTIONS WITH THE POWER OF YOUR

AUDIO SYSTEM SWITCHED ON OR YOUR SLA5500 CONNECTED TO THE

MAINS.

•Before operating the SLA5500, check that the operating voltage indicated on the

nameplate of your SLA5500 is identical with the voltage of your local power supply.

If not, please consult your dealer.

•Radio equipment for wireless applications is not protected against disturbance from

other radio services.

•The SLA5500 should not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

No object filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the product.

•Do not expose the SLA5500 to excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources caused by

heating equipment or direct sunlight.

•Allow a sufficient amount of free space all around your SLA5500 for adequate

ventilation.

•Do not open this product. Contact your Philips retailer if you experience technical

difficulties.

•Place the SLA5500 on a flat, hard and stable surface.

When the SLA5500 is switched to standby mode, it is still consuming some power.

To disconnect the SLA5500 from the power supply completely, remove the AC power

plug from the wall socket.

•Make sure the air around your SLA5500 can circulate to prevent your SLA5500 from

overheating internally. Also, avoid putting any heat sources (e.g. a power amplifier)

underneath.
