The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol,
within an equilateral triangle, is intended to
alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
“dangerous voltage” within the product’s
enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude
to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the user to
the presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.
Pour les Etats-Unis
Le symbole de l’éclair à l’intérieur d’un triangle
équilatéral est destiné à alerter l’utilisateur sur
la présence d’une “tension dangereuse” non
isolée dans le boîtier du produit. Cette tension
est suffisante pour provoquer l’électrocution
de personnes.
Le point d’exclamation à l’intérieur d’un
triangle équilatéral est destiné à alerter
l’utilisateur sur la présence d’opérations
d’entretien importantes au sujet desquelles
des renseignements se trouvent dans le
manuel d’instructions.
CAUTION
The
button in any position does not disconnect the
mains line.
Disconnect the mains plug to shut the power off
completely (the STANDBY lamp goes off). The MAINS plug
or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device,
the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
When the System is on standby, the STANDBY lamp lights red.
When the System is turned on, the STANDBY lamp goes off.
The power can be remote controlled.
ATTENTION
La touche , dans n’importe quelle position, ne
déconnecte pas le système du secteur. Déconnectez la
fiche de secteur pour mettre l’appareil complètement hors
tension (le témoin STANDBY s’éteint). La fiche secteur ou
un coupleur est utilisé comme dispositif de déconnexion
de l’appareil, et l’appareil déconnecté doit être prêt à être
utilisé.
Quand le système est en attente, le témoin STANDBY est
allumé en rouge.
Quand le système est sous tension, le témoin STANDBY
s’éteint.
L’alimentation peut être télécommandée.
CAUTION: Proper Ventilation
To avoid risk of electric shock and fire, and to prevent damage, locate the apparatus as follows:
Front: No obstructions and open spacing.
Sides/Top/Back: No obstructions should be placed in the areas indicated by the dimensions in the illustration.
Bottom: Place on the level surface. Maintain an adequate air path for ventilation by placing on a stand with a height of 10
cm (3-15/16”) or more.
ATTENTION: Ventilation Correcte
Pour éviter tout risque de choc électrique et d’incendie, placez l’appareil en respectant ce qui suit:
Avant: Rien ne doit gêner le dégagement.
Flancs/Dessus/Arrière: Aucun obstacle ne doit être placé dans les zones indiquées par les dimensions dans
l’illustration.
Dessous: Poser l’appareil sur une surface plate. Laissez suffisamment d’espace pour que la ventilation puisse
s’effectuer correctement en plaçant l’appareil sur un socle d’une hauteur de 10 cm ou plus.

Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Pour les Etats-Unis
Attention: Les changements ou les modifications qui ne sont pas explicitement approuvés par la partie responsable de
l’observance pourraient mettre fin au droit de l’utilisateur d’utiliser le matériel.
Remarque: Cet appareil a été testé et il s’est avéré conforme aux limites applicables à un appareil numérique de
classe B, en vertu de la Partie 15 des Règles de la FCC. Ces limites sont conçues de manière à assurer une protection
raisonnable contre les interférences nuisibles dans une installation résidentielle. Cet appareil produit, utilise et peut
émettre une énergie de haute fréquence et, s’il n’est pas installé et utilisé en conformité avec les instructions, il peut
causer des interférences nuisibles aux communications radio. Il n’y a, toutefois, aucune garantie que des interférences
ne se produiront pas dans une installation particulière. Si cet appareil cause effectivement des interférences nuisibles
à la réception de la radio ou de la télévision, ce qu’on peut établir en mettant l’appareil en marche et à l’arrêt, nous
encourageons l’utilisateur à tenter de corriger l’interférence par une ou plusieurs des mesures suivantes:
réorienter ou déplacer l’antenne de réception;
accroître la séparation entre l’appareil et le récepteur;
brancher l’appareil dans une prise ou un circuit autre que celui auquel le récepteur est branché;
consulter un vendeur ou un technicien radio/TV expérimenté pour obtenir de l’aide.
