2. AC Fuse—The AC fuse inside the unit is not user-serviceable. If you
cannot turn on the unit, contact your Onkyo dealer.
3. Care—Occasionally you should dust the unit all over with a soft cloth. For
stubborn stains, use a soft cloth dampened with a weak solution of mild

4. Power
WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME, READ THE
FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.
AC outlet voltages vary from country to country. Make sure that the
voltage in your area meets the voltage requirements printed on the
unit's rear panel (e.g., AC 200-240 V, 50/60 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz). The AC
adaptor plug is used to disconnect this unit from the AC power source.
Make sure that the plug is readily operable (easily accessible) at all times.
Pressing the ON/STANDBY button to select Standby mode does not fully
disconnect from the mains. If you do not intend to use the unit for an
extended period, remove the AC adaptor from the AC outlet.
5. Preventing Hearing Loss
Caution
Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause
hearing loss.
