Precautions
Before using the RDA-7.1 power amplifier, be sure to
read the page above entitled Important Safety
Instructions and this page of precautions.
Power cord
The RDA-7.1 comes with a three-pronged power cord
that contains a grounding wire. To help prevent electrical
shocks, always insert all three prongs when plugging in
the power cord. If the plug of the power cord is not
properly plugged in all the way, it may lead to an
electrical shock.
Be sure to only use wall sockets that properly fit the plug
of the power cord. If the socket does not match the plug of
the power cord, you will need to prepare an adapter.
Always use an adapter that is properly certified for this
application.
WARNING:
THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED.
AC fuse
Never plug the power-supply cord while the fuses
installed on the RDA-7.1 are removed.
For replacing the fuse, make sure to contact your Integra/
Onkyo authorized service center or your Integra Research
dealer.
Speakers
Connected speakers should have an impedance of 4 ohms
or greater. If speakers with an impedance of less than 4
ohms are connected, it may damage the RDA-7.1.
Ventilation
The RDA-7.1 is a high-power amplifier, so the internal
temperature of the device rises to a high temperature.
Therefore, place the RDA-7.1 in a location where the
flow of air around the device is good. Also, do not place
objects or other system components on top of the RDA-
7.1 or block the ventilation holes in any way. This may
cause the internal temperature to rise and lead to a
malfunction or damage the internal components.
Care
From time to time you should wipe the front and rear
panels and the cabinet with a soft sloth. For heavier dirt,
dampen a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent
and water, wring it out dry, and wipe off the dirt.
Following this, dry immediately with a clean cloth. Do
not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other
Chemical solvents or cloths since these could damage the
finish or remove the panel lettering.
Whenever performing maintenance on the RDA-7.1, any
of its supplied accessories, or any device connected to it,
do not use solvents or cleaners of any kind that are
inflammable or combustible.
Other
Below is a list of actions that you should never perform.
Never perform a thumb test (checking whether
current is reaching the lead wire on the hot end of the
input by touching it with your fingers) on the ends of
the input jacks or input cables. Doing so may damage
the speakers.
Never short-circuit an output terminal.
Never remove the cover of the RDA-7.1.
Furthermore, never operate the RDA-7.1 when the
cover is removed for any reason.
Never operate the RDA-7.1 in environments with
explosive gases or materials.
Do not install the RDA-7.1 in a location within the
reach of small children.
Lightning storms
Never touch the power cord or plug of the RDA-7.1
during a lightning storm.
