Power-Cord Protection ­ Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product. 15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding ­ If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure A. 16. Lightning ­ For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges. 17. Power Lines ­ An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal. 18. Overloading ­ Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. 19. Object and Liquid Entry ­ Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.

Quality cables make a big difference in fidelity and punch. Use high-quality, audio cables. 3. Do not use excessively long cables. Be sure plugs and jacks are securely fastened. Loose connections cause hum, noise, or intermittents that could damage your speakers. 4. Connect all stereo input sources. Then connect any effects into the stereo effect, if used. Connect your microphone(s) and monitor headphones. Make sure all faders are at "zero" and the unit is off. Take care to connect only one cable at a time. pay attention to L and R position of jacks, on both the DN-X1500 and outboard gear. 5. Connect the stereo outputs to the power amplifier(s) and/or tape deck(s) and/or MD recorder(s) and/or CD recorder(s). Plug the DNX1500 into AC power outlet. NOTE: Always switch on your audio input sources such as CD players first, then your mixer, and finally any amplifiers. When turning off, always reverse this operation by turning off amplifiers, then your mixer, and then input units.
