The operating oltage is indicated on the nameplate at the rear of the receier. The receier is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, een if the receier itself has been turned off. If you are not going to use the receier for a long time, be sure to disconnect the receier from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord, grasp the plug itself; neer pull the cord. One blade of the plug is wider than the other for the purpose of safety and will fit into the wall outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer. Should the AC power cord need to be changed, hae it done at a qualified serice shop only. On placement Place the receier in a location with adequate entilation to preent heat buildup and prolong the life of the receier. Do not place the receier near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessie dust or mechanical shock. Do not place anything on top of the cabinet that might block the entilation holes and cause malfunctions. On operation Before connecting other components, be sure to turn off and unplug the receier. On cleaning Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution.

When mounting the rear speakers on side walls perpendicular to the listening position they should be placed 60-90 cm aboe the listening position. Depending on the shape of your room (etc.), you may wish to place the rear speakers behind you instead of on the side walls.
