Power handling If the receiver is used at very high power it can produce distortions which may damage your speakers seriously. If distortions occur, reduce the volume and the tone controls to a level where the sound is acceptable again. To avoid overheating of the unit a safety circuit has been built in. Therefore your set may disconnect under extreme conditions. If this happens, switch the unit off and let it cool down before reusing it. After having let the set cool down switch the set on again and select the desired source by turning SOURCE SELECT. Headphones Connecting headphones to PHONES will switch off the speakers. The receiver switches to STEREO and surround sound will be reduced to a stereo signal which is reproducible by standard headphones. Disconnecting the headphones switches on the speakers again. If you wish to enjoy surround sound again, switch the receiver back to surround sound. Maintenance Clean the receiver with a soft, slightly dampened, lint-free cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents as they may have a corrosive effect. Do not expose the receiver to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight).
