At regular intervals, you should unplug the power plug
and clean it by using a dry cloth to wipe all dust and other
accumulations away from its prongs. Also, disconnect the
power plug from the power outlet whenever the unit is to
remain unused for an extended period of time. Any
accumulation of dust between the power plug and the
power outlet can result in poor insulation and lead to fire.

IMPORTANT NOTES

In addition to the items listed under “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” and “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on pages 2, 3 and 4,
please read and observe the following:
Power Supply
Maintenance
401a
301
•
Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used by an
electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator,
washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a
motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used,
power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce
audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect
a power supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.
•
For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has
been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth
impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to
wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
402
•
Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the
possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
307
•
Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This
will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
Additional Precautions
553
308
•
•
Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons, sliders, or
other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling
can lead to malfunctions.
Although the LEDs are switched off when the POWER switch is switched
off, this does not mean that the unit has been completely disconnected
from the source of power. If you need to turn off the power completely,
first turn off the POWER switch, then unplug the power cord from the
power outlet. For this reason, the outlet into which you choose to connect
the power cord’s plug should be one that is within easy reach.
556
•
When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—
never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage
to the cable’s internal elements.
557
•
A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during normal operation.
558a
Placement
351
•
Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment containing large
power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the
orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from the source of interference.
•
To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume at
reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to
be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night).
352a
559a
•
This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use
this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
•
When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including
padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equiv-
alent packaging materials.
352b
•
Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell

To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices,
always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before
making any connections.
phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur
when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you
experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so
they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.
941
•
Once the connections have been completed, turn on power to your various
devices in the order specified. By turning on devices in the wrong order,
you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to speakers and other
devices.
1. Turn on the device connected to the CUBE’s input jack.
2. Turn on the CUBE.
354b
•
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate
heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temper-
ature extremes. Also, do not allow lighting devices that normally are used
while their light source is very close to the unit (such as a piano light), or
powerful spotlights to shine upon the same area of the unit for extended
periods of time. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
3. Switch on any equipment connected to the CUBE’s LINE OUT,
RECORDING OUT/PHONES and BALANCED OUT jacks.

•
When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or

humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside
the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit
in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to
stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.
•
•
Wrap the power cord around the cord hook when trans-porting or storing
the unit.
356
•
Do not insert hands, fingers, etc, into the openings in the unit. In particular,
if the unit is to used in households with small children, always provide
adult supervision to ensure that children keep their hands and feet out of
these openings.
Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on the unit for
long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully
affect the finish.
359
•
Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument. Peeling such
matter off the instrument may damage the exterior finish.
