							Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit. Follow the safety instructions on the unit and
the safety precautions listed below. Keep these operating instructions handy for future reference.
1.Power Source—Connect the unit to a power source
of the type described in these instructions or as
marked on the unit.
2.Polarization—The unit is equipped with a polarized
power plug where one blade is wider than the other.
This safety feature ensures that the plug fits into
your household AC outlet only one way. If the plug
doesn’t  fit one way, try reversing it. If the plug still
doesn’t fit, contact an electrician to replace the
obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety
purpose of the plug.
3.Power Cord protection—Route the AC power
supply cord so that it will not be walked on or
pinched by items placed on or against it. Never take
hold of the plug or cord with wet hands. Always
grasp the plug body firmly when connecting and
disconnecting it.
4.Overloading—When connecting the AC power
supply cord, be careful not to overload the
household AC outlet, extension cord, or outlet from
any other device as this can result in fire or electric
shock.
5.Nonuse periods—Turn the unit off when it is not
in use. Unplug the unit from the household AC outlet
if it is not to be used for a long time. Unplug the
unit during lightning storms.
6.Attachments and accessories—Use only the
attachments and accessories recommended in
these operating instructions.
Placement
1.Ventilation—Situate the unit so that it receives
proper ventilation. Do not install in a confined space
such as a bookcase or cabinet. Allow at least 10
cm (4 inches) clearance from the rear of the unit.
To prevent the risk of electric shock or fire due to
overheating ensure curtains and other materials do
not obstruct the unit’s ventilation.
2.Foreign material—Ensure objects and liquids do
not get into the unit. Avoid exposing the unit to
excessive smoke, dust, mechanical vibration, and
shock.
3.Magnetism—Situate the unit away from equipment
and devices that generate strong magnetic fields.
4.Stacking—Do not place heavy objects on top of
this unit.
5.Surface—Place the unit on a flat, level surface.
6.Carts and stands—Use the unit only
with carts and stands recommended by
the manufacturer. Move carts with
care. Sudden stops, excessive force,
and uneven surfaces can cause carts
to overturn.
7.Wall and ceiling mounting—Do not mount the unit
on walls or ceilings unless specified in the
instructions. 
Environmnet
1.Water and moisture—Do not use the unit near
water, such as near a bathtub or swimming pool.
Avoid damp basements.
2.Heat—Situate the unit away from heat sources,
such as radiators.
Do not situate where temperatures fall below 5°C
(41°F) or rise above 35°C (95°F).
(See page 7 for details.)
Unplug the unit from the household AC outlet before
cleaning.
Clean with a damp cloth.
Do not use abrasive pads, scouring powders, or
solvents.
1.Damage Requiring Service—The unit should be
serviced by qualified service personnel if:
(a) The AC power supply cord or the plug has been
damaged; or
(b) Objects or liquids have gotten into the unit; or
(c) The unit has been exposed to rain; or
(d) The unit does not operate normally or exhibits
a marked change in performance; or
(e) The unit has been dropped or the cabinet
damaged.
2.Servicing—Do not attempt to service the unit
beyond that described in these operating
instructions. Refer all other servicing to authorized
servicing personnel.
3.Replacement parts—When parts need replacing
ensure the servicer uses parts specified by the
manufacturer or parts that have the same
characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized
substitutes may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.
4.Safety check—After repairs or service, ask the
servicer to perform safety checks to confirm that
the unit is in proper working condition.

							Cautions for safest use of this unit
Installation location
1.A well-ventilated place.
Take care not to use this unit in a place where it
will not receive sufficient ventilation, and not to
permit the ventilation holes to be covered by cur-
tains, or any similar materials.
2.Place away from direct sunlight and excessive
heat from heating equipment.
3.A place where humidity, vibration and dust are
minimized.
Power source
1.Be sure the line voltage selector is in accord-
ance with local voltage in your area before con-
necting the plug to the socket.
2.DC power cannot be used.
Handling the power cord
1.Never touch the power cord, or its plug, with wet
hands.
2.Don’t pull the power cord.
Metal items inside the unit may re-
sult in electric shock or damage.
Do not permit metal articles to get inside the unit.
Be especially careful with regard to this point if
children are near this unit. They should be warned
never to try to put anything inside.
If, nevertheless, some such article does get inside,
disconnect the power cord plug from the electrical
outlet, and contact the store where the unit was
purchased.
If water gets into the unit
Disconnect the power cord plug from the electrical
outlet, and contact the store where it was pur-
chased.
As a precaution, it is suggested that flower vases
and other containers which hold liquids not be
placed on the top of this unit.
If operation seems abnormal
Immediately turn off the power, disconnect the
power cord plug from the electrical outlet, and con-
tact the store where it was purchased.
Discontinue using the unit at once. Failure to do so
may result in additional damage or some other un-
expected damage or accident.
•Because the power source is located inside the
unit, it is normal for the cabinet to become warm.
A word about the power cord
If the power cord is scarred, is partially cut or
broken, or has a bad contact, it may cause a fire or
serious electrical shock if used. NEVER use a dam-
aged power cord for any appliance. Moreover, the
power cord should never be forcibly bent.
Don’t touch the inside parts of this
unit.
Some places inside this unit have high voltage
potential. Never try to remove the top or back
panels of this unit, or to touch inside parts by hand
or with tools.
Contact someone who is qualified in order to in-
spect the inside, or to replace a fuse, if such be-
comes necessary. Never attempt to do these things
yourself.
Maintenance
The following suggestions will assist you in keep-
ing the unit in top condition.
•Be sure to switch the instrument off after use,
and do not switch the unit on and off in quick
succession, as this places an undue load on the
electronic components.
•To keep the luster of the surface and buttons,
simply use a clean, damp cloth; polish with a
soft, dry cloth. Polish may be used but do not
use thinners or petro-chemical-based polishes.
•A wax-based polish may be used on the cabinet,
although you will find that rubbing with a soft
cloth will suffice.
SERVICE MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY DEALER
