Excessive force can wear out the faders quickly. User-replaceable slide faders are not covered by our warranty.• Never use spray cleaners on the slide controls. Residues cause excessive dirt build-up and thiswill void your warranty. In normal use, slide controls can last for many years. If they malfunction(usually because of a dirty or dusty environment), consult a professional technician.• Always make sure that AC power is off while making any connections.• Use appropriate cables throughout your system. Do not use excessively long cables (i.e. over 32feet / 10 meters). Be sure plugs and jacks are tightly mated. Loose connections can cause hum,noise, or intermittents that could easily damage your speakers. Make the input and outputconnections with readily available low-capacitance stereo cables. Cable quality makes a bigdifference in audio fidelity and “punch.” See your Denon Pro dealer or an electronics or audiospecialist store if you are not sure which cables to use.• Never attempt to make any adjustments other than those described in this manual, or repairs.Take the unit to your dealer or to an authorized Denon Pro service center.• Always remember: turn amps on last and off first. Begin with master faders or volume controlson minimum and the amplifier gain/input control(s) down. Wait 8–10 seconds before turning upthe volume. This prevents transients which may cause severe speaker damage.• Use restraint when operating controls. Try to move them slowly. Rapid adjustments could damageequipment due to amplifier clipping.• Avoid amplifier “clipping” at all costs: this occurs when the red LEDs (usually on the front panel ofmost professional power amplifiers) start flashing. “Clipping” is when the power amplifier isdistorting and working beyond its limits. Amplifier distortion is the main cause of speaker failure.• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. Never place cans ofbeer, soda, glasses of water or anything wet near or on top of the unit!• Headphone outputs can be set to levels which can cause damage to your ears.
