This unit should be installed on a sturdy, level surface. Due to stray
magnetic fields turntables should not be located nearby due to
interference.
The unit requires ventilation above and below. Do not situate it on a rug
or other soft surface and do not obstruct the air inlet and outlet grilles

supply and contact your dealer for advice.
Do not route the power cable so that it can be walked upon or damaged
by other items near it.
Electronic audio components have a running in period of around a week
(if used several hours per day). This will allow the new components to
settle down, the sonic properties will improve over this time.
Do not plug a source component directly into a power amplifier unless it
has a variable output level.
Always turn a control amplifier on before a power amplifier.
Never turn on a power amplifier when no control amplifier is connected.
It is recommended that when bi-amping, the same type power amplifiers
are used.
