SAFETY INFORMATION
Important Safety Information
Verify Line Voltage Before Use
Your AVR480 has been designed for use
with 220 – 240-volt AC current.
Connection to a line voltage other than
that for which it is intended can create a
safety and fire hazard and may damage
the unit.
Depending on the electrical requirements
in your area or the wiring in your home,
the power cords included with your AVR
may not be the correct ones, and you may
need to contact your local JBL distributor
to obtain the correct power cord.
If you have any questions about the
voltage requirements for your specific
model, or about the line voltage in your
area, contact your dealer before plugging
the unit into a wall outlet.
Do Not Use Extension Cords
To avoid safety hazards, use only the
power cord attached to your unit. We
do not recommend that extension cords
be used with this product. As with all
electrical devices, do not run power cords
under rugs or carpets or place heavy
objects on them. Damaged power cords
should be replaced immediately by an
authorized service depot with a cord
meeting factory specifications.
Handle the AC Power Cord Gently
When disconnecting the power cord
from an AC outlet, always pull the plug,
never pull the cord. If you do not intend
to use the unit for any considerable
length of time, disconnect the plug from
the AC outlet.
Do Not Open the Cabinet
There are no user-serviceable components
inside this product. Opening the cabinet
may present a shock hazard, and any
modification to the product will void your
guarantee. If water or any metal object
such as a paper clip, wire or a staple
accidentally falls inside the unit,
disconnect it from the AC power source
immediately, and consult an authorized
service station.
Installation Location
■To ensure proper operation and to avoid
the potential for safety hazards, place
the unit on a firm and level surface.
When placing the unit on a shelf, be
certain that the shelf and any mounting
hardware can support the weight of the
product.
■Make certain that proper space is pro-
vided both above and below the unit
for ventilation. If this product will be
installed in a cabinet or other enclosed
area, make certain that there is suffi-
cient air movement within the cabinet.
Under some circumstances, a fan may
be required.
■Do not place the unit directly on a
carpeted surface.
■Avoid installation in extremely hot
or cold locations, or an area that is
exposed to direct sunlight or heating
equipment.
■Avoid moist or humid locations.
■Do not obstruct the ventilation slots
on the top of the unit, or place objects
directly over them.
Cleaning
When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a
clean, soft, dry cloth. If necessary, wipe it
with a soft cloth dampened with mild
soapy water, then a fresh cloth with clean
water. Wipe dry immediately with a dry
cloth. NEVER use benzene, aerosol
cleaners, thinner, alcohol or any other
volatile cleaning agent. Do not use
abrasive cleaners, as they may damage
the finish of metal parts. Avoid spraying
insecticide near the unit.
Moving the Unit
Before moving the unit, be certain to
disconnect any interconnection cords
with other components, and make certain
that you disconnect the unit from the
AC outlet.
Unpacking
The carton and shipping materials used
to protect your new receiver during
shipment were specially designed to
cushion it from shock and vibration. We
suggest that you save the carton and
packing materials for use in shipping
if you move, or should the unit ever
need repair.
To minimize the size of the carton in
storage, you may wish to flatten it. This is
done by carefully slitting the tape seams
on the bottom and collapsing the carton.
Other cardboard inserts may be stored in
the same manner. Packing materials that
cannot be collapsed should be saved
along with the carton in a plastic bag.
If you do not wish to save the packaging
materials, please note that the carton and
other sections of the shipping protection
are recyclable. Please respect the
environment and discard those materials
at a local recycling center.
