Warning

Before connecting audio cables, first check to see that all devices are grounded using grounded plugs and grounded sockets. In addition, all devices should be turned off, before connecting any audio or digital cables. If the devices are not grounded, a voltage potential difference between devices can cause a voltage surge through the audio cable that can weaken and eventually damage sensitive circuits in D/A converters and other devices.

Swedish Warning: Före du tillsluter ljudkablar, kontrollera först att alla enheter är jordade med jordade stickproppar och jordade uttag. Dessutom alla enheter ska vara slukket, innan du ansluter några ljud- eller digitalkablar. Om enheter inte är jordade, kan en spänningspotentialskillnad mellan enheterna orsaka en spänningsstöt genom ljudkabeln som kan försvagas och så småningom skada känsliga kretsar i D/A-omvandlare och andra enheter.

Finnish Warning: Varoitus Ennen kuin liität äänikaapeleita, tarkista ensin, että kaikki laitteet ovat kunnossa maadoitettu maadoitettujen pistokkeiden ja pistorasioiden avulla. Lisäksi kaikki laitteet tulee sammuttaa, ennen kuin kytket ääni- tai digitaalikaapeleita. Jos laitteita ei ole maadoitettu, laitteiden välinen jännitepotentiaaliero voi olla aiheuttaa jännitepiikin äänikaapelin kautta, joka voi heiketä ja lopulta vahingoittaa herkkiä piirejä D/A-muuntimissa ja muissa laitteissa.

Danish Warning: Advarsel Før du tilslutter lydkabler, skal du først kontrollere, at alle enheder er det jordet ved hjælp af ordede stik o ordede stikkontakter. Derudover alle enheder skal være slukket, før du tilslutter lyd- eller digitale kabler. Hvis enheder ikke er jordet, kan en spændingspotentialforskel mellem enhederne forårsage en spændingsstigning gennem lydkablet, der kan svækkes og til sidst beskadige følsomme kredsløb i D/A-konvertere og andre enheder.
