BEFORE ENJOYMENT/POWER SUPPLY
Follow the instructions below for maximum safety:
1. Connecting and removing AC cord
Be sure to connect or disconnect the AC line cord only after
turning off the power switch to prevent possible shock noise
or damage to the speakers.
2. Do not open the cabinet
In order to avoid electric shock or damage to the component,
never open the cabinet. If a foreign object falls inside the unit
by mistake, turn the power off, disconnect the wall plug, and
consult a qualified electrician or your dealer.
3. Installation
Be sure to place the unit in a level and flat place where it is
free from humidity, vibration, high temperature and not ex¬
posed to direct sunlight.
Be careful not to place the unit in a highly enclosed place such
as near a wall or on a bookshelf. A poor ventilation will cause
undesirable effects to the unit.
4. Moving the unit
When transporting, remove the AC cord from the wall outlet
and all other connected cords on the rear panel to prevent
wire breakage and short circuits.
5. If the unit gets wet
If the unit should get wet, immediately disconnect the AC cord,
and consult your dealer or a qualified electrician.
6. Cleaning and maintenance
Do not use chemicals such as benzine or thinners on the front
panel. Always use a soft, dry cloth to clean the unit.
7. Owner's manual
Keep the owner’s manual near the unit, and record the serial
number (found on the rear panel) on the cover.
Caution (applicable to the U.S.A., Canada, Hong Kong,
and Southeast Asia): On the rear panel of the RC-980BX

deck, etc.) you use in conjunction with the RC-980BX.
Each AC outlet is the switched type, turned on or off upon
