SAFETY PRECAUTIONS & IMPORTANT NOTES

1. Check that the rear of the product indicates the correct supply voltage for
your area.
2. The lighting flash with the arrowhead within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the user or service agent to the
presence of dangerous voltages within the product enclosure that
may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock
to persons.
3. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended
to alert the user or service agent to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (Servicing) instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.
4. This product complies with EEC Low Voltage (73/23/EEC) and
Electromagnetic Compatibility (89/336/EEC) Directives when used and serviced
in accordance with this manual. For continued compliance all components
marked safety and EMC critical must only be replaced by Cambridge Audio
approved parts.
5. Any unauthorised design alterations or additions will void the manufacturers
warranty; furthermore the manufacturer cannot accept responsibility for personal
injury or property damage resulting therefrom.
6. When servicing, care should be taken to observe the original routing and
dressing of the leads and it should be confirmed that they have been returned to
normal after re-assembly.
Notes on chip component replacement
Never reuse a component that has been removed from a PCB
Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be damaged by heat
