Stereo mini/RCA plug cable(1.5m) is for connecting the amplifier with a playback equipment which has RCA stereo output terminal such as CD player.

WARNING :…To avoid the danger of suffocation, keep plastic bags out of the reach of children.

This product is an amplifier system which has been designed using time domain theory in order to maximise quality of speaker operation and performance.

What is time domain theory?

Time domain recreates the changes that occur in sound waves over time from the moment of output until their disappearance. Its purpose is to reproduce those sound waves that are as close as possible to the original recorded sound.

Time domain audio systems allow sound orientation and the nuances that are added by recorded performers to be faithfully reproduced.

Do not place the unit in direct sunlight, near heating equipment or close to open flames. Fire, accident or malfunction may result. Do not place the unit in locations exposed to cold air or direct draft. Condensation, leakage current or thermal damage may result. Do not use the unit in dusty or dirty locations. Decreased heat ventilation can cause thermal damage

8. Unit heat

The bottom and sides of the unit can heat up during use and should not be touched. Burns may result. Only connect or disconnect speaker cables after the power supply has cooled down.

9. Moving the unit

When moving the unit, shut off power to all connected equipment, and disconnect power cords, connectoins cables, speaker cables and other wires. Moving the unit while cable are connected can cause damage to cables, fire or electric shock. The unit is heavy and care should be taken when unpacking, moving or lifting.

Manufacturing also creates sharp areas on the unit; use thorough care in handling.

Because the volume knob can be separated from the amplifier, never hold the volume knob when moving the amplifier.

10. Power cord

Only use the power cord supplied and do not bend, twist, modify it for repair, or pin it under the unit. Heavy objects, heat or tension may also damage the power cord and cause fire or electric shock. When disconnecting the power cord from an outlet, do not pull the cord. Pulling on the cord can damage it and cause fire or electric shock. Do not touch the power cord with wet hands. Do not place the power cord near heating equipment and

do not use the unit. If the plug fits loosely in an electric outlet or the plug or cord is hot. If the cord is damaged replace it as continued use may result in fire or electric shock.

11. Unit plug

Insert the plug into an outlet all the may to its base. Incomplete insertion can cause heat production, and dust build-up can cause fire. Contact with the prongs of the plug can also cause electric shock. Do not connect the unit to an outlet where the connection is loose even when the plug is inserted all the way to its base. Do not use the unit if the plug is hot. Heat production can cause fire.

If dust or metal accumulates on or near the prongs of the plug, wipe the plug with a dry cloth after disconnection. Continued use may cause fire or electric shock.

12. Danger signs

If you notice a strange noise, smoke, unusual odour or other abnormal condition, shut off the unit, disconnect the power cord from the outlet and have the unit inspected. Continued use may result in fire or electric shock.

13. Electric storms

During electrical storms disconnect the unit and avoid contact with the antenna and power cord. Lightning can cause fire, electric shock and malfunction.

14. Internal temperature rise

To avoid internal temperature rise when installing the unit, leave space between the unit and walls or other equipments. When installed in a rack or similar fixture, leave a 10cm (4") or larger gap on top and at sides since internal temperature rise can result in fire. The unit is provided with ventilation holes to prevent internal temperature rise. Blockage of these holes decreases ventilation and can result in fire. Note the following:

Do not place the unit in a poorly ventilated area

Do not place the unit on carpeting or on bedding

Do not obstruct the ventilation holes

Do not tilt the unit or turn upside down

15. AC Adapter

Only use the AC adapter supplied and ensure that you use it in a well-ventilated location free from dampness.

16. Extended non-use

If the unit is likely to be unused for an extended period, shut off power and disconnect from power supply.

17. Volume Adjustment

If abnormal noise is produced during play at high volume, reduce the volume level. Distorted sound can cause overheating of speakers and amplifier. Before switching power supply on, set the amplifier volume to minimum. Sudden, loud noise can cause damage to hearing.

18. Connecting TV/other audio equipment

When connecting a TV or other audio equipment, always shut off power, read the operating manual for each device and follow the instructions for connection. Use only designated cables.
