The pinpoint feet and their stands are loose, but the stands support

the units when they are placed, effectively dispersing vibrations.

Chassis

Pinpoint foot (metal)

After

placement

Foot-stand (metal)

o If there is a gap between a chassis and a pinpoint foot after place-

ment, turn the pinpoint foot in the direction that tightens the

screw to eliminate the gap.

o Apply the included felt pads to the bottoms of the foot-stands to

avoid scratching the surface where the units are placed.

o These units are very heavy, so take care to avoid injury during

installation.

Before use Precautions for use

o Do not install these units in locations that could become hot. This

includes places that are exposed to direct sunlight or near a radia-

tor, heater, stove or other heating equipment. Moreover, do not

place them on top of amplifiers or other equipment that gener-

ates heat. Doing so could cause discoloration or deformation.

o Avoid locations that are subject to vibrations or exposed to exces-

sive dust, cold or moisture.

o In order to enable good heat dissipation, leave at least 20cm (8")

between these units and walls and other equipment when install-

ing them.

If you put them in a rack, take precautions to prevent overheat-

ing by leaving at least 5cm (2") open above and 10cm (4") open

behind them. Failure to provide these gaps could cause heat to

build up inside and result in fire.

o Do not install these units face up or on their sides.

o Place these units in stable locations near the audio system that

will be used with them.

o Do not put cloth on top of these units or place them on bedding

or thick carpet.

o Do not place anything, not even CDs, CD-Rs, LP records or cassette

tapes, on top of these units.

o Supply voltage to the power supply unit that matches the voltage

as printed on its back. If you are in any doubt regarding this mat-

ter, consult an electrician.

o Do not move the units during use.

o Do not open the bodies of the units as doing so might result in

damage to the circuitry or cause electric shock. If a foreign object

should get into a unit, contact your dealer.

o When removing each power plug from an outlet, always pull

directly on the plug. Never pull on the cord itself.
