CAUTION

! To ensure proper heat dissipation of the ampli-

fier, ensure the following during installation:

— Allow adequate space above the amplifier

for proper ventilation.

— Do not cover the amplifier with a floor mat

or carpet.

! Protection function may activate to protect the

amplifier against overheating due to installa-

tion in locations where sufficient heat cannot

be dissipated, continuous use under high-vo-

lume conditions, etc. In such cases, the am-

down until it has cooled to a certain desig-

! Place all cables away from hot places, such

as near the heater outlet.
