Before use

Placement of the unit
High-quality hardened tool steel is used for the pin-point feet,
securely attached to the bottom of the unit.
Although the outer feet may appear loose, the weight of the unit
causes them to become firm and secure. The design effectively
damps and reduces vibration.
Steel foot

< Be careful to avoid injury when moving the unit due to its weight.
Get someone to help you if necessary.
< To protect the supporting furniture surface, you may stick the felt
pads supplied with the unit to the bottom of the metal feet.

connection of a heavy power cord such as ESOTERIC Power Cable
