Cleaning
When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a
clean, soft dry cloth. If necessary, wipe it
with a soft cloth dampened with mild
soapy water, then a fresh cloth with clean
water. Wipe dry immediately with a dry
cloth. NEVER use benzene, thinner,
alcohol or any other volatile cleaning
agent. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as
they may damage the finish of metal
parts. Avoid spraying insecticide near
the unit.
Moving The Unit
Before moving the unit, be certain to dis-
connect any interconnection cords with
other components, and make certain
that you disconnect the unit from the AC
outlet.
Important Information For The User
NOTE: This equipment has been tested
and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. The limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a resi-
dential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio fre-
quency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio
communication. However, there is no
guarantee that harmful interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful inter-
ference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by tuning the
equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interfer-
ence by one or more of the following
measures:
■ Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
■ Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
■ Connect the equipment into an outlet
on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
■ Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the fol-
lowing two conditions: (1) this device
may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
NOTE: Changes or modifications may
cause this unit to fail to comply with
Part 15 of the FCC Rules and may void
the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
Unpacking and Installation
The carton and shipping materials used
to protect your new AVR40 during ship-
ment were specially designed to cushion
it from shock and vibration. We suggest
that you save the carton and packing
materials for use in shipping if you move
or should the unit ever need repair.
To minimize the size of the carton in
storage, you may wish to flatten it. This
is done by carefully removing any staples
that attach the carton flaps to one
another, and then slitting the tape
covering the seams. Fold the carton down
to a more two dimensional appearance.
Packing materials that cannot be
collapsed should be saved along with the
carton in a plastic bag.
If you do not wish to save the packaging
materials, please note that the carton
and other sections of the shipping protec-
tion are recyclable. Please respect the
environment and discard those materials
at a local recycling center.
When positioning your AVR40 in its final
location, make certain that any shelf or
stand is capable of supporting its weight,
and that there is adequate ventilation on
all sides, as well as on the top and bot-
tom. Do not place CDs, record jackets,
owner’s manuals, or other paper on top
of, or beneath the unit. This will block
air flow, causing degraded performance
and a possible fire hazard. If the unit is
to be enclosed in a cabinet or rack, make
certain that there is adequate air circula-
tion, with a means provided for hot air to
exit, and for cool air to be brought in.
