Precautions for use

• This unit is very heavy, so take care to avoid injury during installation.

• Do not install this unit in a location 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 it on top of an amplifier or other equipment that generates heat. Doing so could cause discoloration or deformation.

• In order to enable good heat dissipation, leave at least 20 cm (8″) between this unit and walls and other equipment when installing it. If you put it in a rack, take precautions to prevent overheating by leaving at least 5 cm (2″) open above the top of the unit and at least 10 cm (4″) open behind the unit.
  Failure to provide these gaps could cause heat to build up inside and result in fire.
