T+A Elektroakustik K1 AV Stereo Receiver User Manual


 
Safety Notes
All the components used in this device satisfy the
currently valid German and European safety norms and
standards.
Exacting quality control of all materials, painstaking
production by qualified technical staff, and a fully
automatic computer-controlled final checking process
ensure consistently high product quality and the
maintenance of all specifications.
Please read right through these operating instructions
carefully before you attempt to use your new equipment.
Note in particular the information regarding setting up
and operating the unit, and the safety notes.
The machine must be set up in such a way that it is
impossible to touch any of the electrical connections -
especially for children. Please read and observe the
notes and information in the chapter 'Installation, Using
the K1 AV for the first time, Safety notes'.
The power supply required for this machine is printed on
the mains supply socket. The unit must never be
connected to a power supply which does not meet this
specification. If the K1 AV is not to be used for a long
period, disconnect it from the mains supply at the wall
socket.
Mains cables must be deployed in such a way that there
is no danger of them being damaged (e.g. by treading on
them or placing furniture on them). Take particular care
with connectors, mains distribution panels and the
machine’s connectors.
Liquid or foreign bodies must never be allowed inside the
case. Mains voltage is present inside the unit, and there
is a risk of lethal electric shock. Do not exert undue force
on the mains connectors.
Protect the machine from water: never place a flower
vase or similar vessel containing water on the case.
Do not exert excessive force on the mains connectors.
The On/Off button on the front panel is not a
mains isolation switch, and a few of the
machine’s sub-assemblies remain
connected to the mains supply. If you know
that the system will not be used for a
protracted period, we recommend that you
isolate it from the mains power supply by
disconnecting the mains plug from the wall
socket.
This device should never be used without proper
supervision. The K1 AV should be set up well out of the
reach of small children. This applies to all electrical
equipment.
:
CAUTION ! LETHAL HAZARD !
The unit should only ever be opened by a
qualified specialist technician.
Repairs and fuse replacements should be entrusted to an
authorised specialist workshop.
With the exception of the connections and procedures
described in these instructions, no work of any kind may
be carried out on the K1 AV by unqualified persons.
If the unit is damaged, or if you suspect that it is not
functioning correctly, immediately disconnect the mains
plug at the wall socket, and ask an authorised
specialist workshop to check it.
The unit may be damaged by excess voltage in the
power supply, the cable network or in aerial systems, as
may occur during thunderstorms (lightning strikes) or due
to static discharges.
Special power supply units and excess voltage protectors
such as the Power Bar’ mains distribution panel
offer some degree of protection from damage to
equipment due to the hazards described above.
However, if you require absolute security from damage
due to excess voltage, the only solution is to disconnect
the unit from the mains power supply and any aerial
systems.
If you believe there is a danger of excess voltage (e.g.
when an electrical storm is building up) disconnect the
K1 AV from the mains supply and the aerial socket.
All mains power supply and aerial systems to which the
unit is connected must meet the currently valid
regulations, and must be installed by an approved
electrical installer.
Many insurance companies offer lightning
damage insurance for electrical equipment as
part of their house and contents insurance
policies.
