tion to overturn.

7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting The appliance should be mounted

to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

8. Ventilation The appliance should be situated so that its loca-

tion or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation.

For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed,

sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation

openings; or if placed in a built-in installation, such as a book-

case or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the

ventilation openings, there should be free space of at least 20

cm (8 in.) and an opening behind the appliance.

9. Heat The appliance should be situated away from heat

sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appli-

ances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

10. Power Sources The appliance should be connected to a

lowing information:

The polarization of the plug is a safety feature. The polarized

plug will only fit the outlet one way. If the plug does not fit

fully into the outlet, try reversing it. If there is still trouble, the

user should seek the services of a qualified electrician. Under

no circumstances should the user attempt to defeat the polar-

ization of the plug.

12. Power-Cord Protection Power-supply cords should be

routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by

ance beyond that described in the operating instructions. All

other servicing should be referred to qualified service person-

nel.

19. Outdoor Antenna Grounding If an outside antenna is con-

nected to the receiver, be sure the antenna 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, ground-

ing of the lead-in wire to an antenna-discharge unit, size of

grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, con-

nection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the

grounding electrode. See Figure 1.

Memory Preservation

This unit does not require memory preservation batteries. A

built-in memory power back-up system preserves the contents

of the memory during power failures and even when the unit is

unplugged. The unit must be plugged in order to charge the

back-up system.

The memory preservation period after the unit has been

unplugged varies depending on climate and placement of the

unit. On the average, memory contents are protected over a

period of a few weeks after the last time the unit has been

unplugged. This period is shorter when the unit is exposed to a

highly humid climate.

partment cover.

Notes

· Do not mix new batteries with old batteries or different kinds of

batteries.

· To avoid corrosion, remove the batteries if the remote controller

is not to be used for a long time.

· Remove dead batteries immediately to avoid damage from cor-

rosion. If the remote controller doesn't operate smoothly,

replace both the batteries at the same time.

· The life of the batteries supplied is about six months but this

will vary depending on usage.

Point the remote controller toward the remote control sensor.

The STANDBY indicator lights up when the unit receives a signal

from the remote controller.

Notes

· Place the unit away from strong light such as direct sunlight or

inverted fluorescent light which can prevent proper operation of the

remote controller.

· Using another remote controller of the same type in the same

room or using the unit near equipment which uses infrared rays

may cause operational interference.

· Do not put any object such as a book on the remote controller.

The buttons of the remote controller may be pressed by mistake

and drain the batteries.

· Make sure the audio rack doors do not have colored glass. Plac-

ing the unit behind such doors may prevent proper remote con-

troller operation.
