Insignia NS-R2001
AM/FM Stereo Receiver
Introduction

Power cord
Caution

Congratulations on your purchase of a high-quality
Insignia product. Your NS-R2001 represents the
state of the art in stereo receiver design and is
designed for reliable and trouble-free performance.

We recommend that most appliances be placed
upon a dedicated circuit—a single outlet circuit
which powers only that appliance and has no
additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the
specification page of this manual for power
requirements.
Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall
outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension
cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked
wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these
conditions could result in electric shock or fire.
Periodically examine your receiver cord, and if its
appearance indicates damage or deterioration,
unplug it, discontinue use of your receiver, and have
the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by
an authorized service provider.
Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical
abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed
in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to
plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits
your receiver.
To disconnect power from the outlet, pull out the
plug. When installing your receiver, make sure that
the plug is easily accessible.

Safety information
Electric shock warning
CAUTION
Risk of Electric Shock

Do Not Open

Warning
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove
the cover or back. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
This lightning flash with arrowhead
symbol within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated dangerous
voltage within your receiver’s enclosure
that may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock to
persons.
The exclamation point within an
equilateral triangle is intended to alert
the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature
accompanying your receiver.

Warning
To prevent fire or electric shock hazard, do not
expose this receiver to rain or moisture.

Caution
Your receiver should not be exposed to water
(dripping or splashing) and no objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, should be placed on your
receiver.

Ventilation
Caution
Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with these instructions.
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of your
receiver and to protect it from over-heating.
The openings should never be blocked by placing
your receiver on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. This receiver should not be placed in a
built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless
correct ventilation is provided or these instructions
have been adhered to.

Read these instructions.
Keep these instructions.
Heed all warnings.
Follow all instructions.
Do not use this apparatus near water.
Clean only with dry cloth.
Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
Do not install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized
plug has two blades with one wider than the
other. A grounding type plug has two blades
and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or
the third prong are provided for your safety. If
the provided plug does not fit into your outlet,
consult an electrician for replacement of the
obsolete outlet.
Protect the power cord from being walked on or
pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the apparatus.
Only use attachments/accessories specified by
the manufacturer.

Insignia NS-R2001 AM/FM Stereo Receiver

12 Use only with the cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table specified
by the manufacturer, or sold with
the apparatus. When a cart is used,
use caution when moving the
cart/apparatus combination to
avoid injury from tip-over.
13 Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms
or when unused for long periods of time.
14 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has
been damaged in any way, such as
power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid
has been spilled or objects have fallen into the
apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to
rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or
has been dropped.

15 To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
expose this device to rain, moisture, dripping, or
splashing, and no objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, shall be placed on it.
16 An apparatus with a three-prong,
grounding-type plug is a Class I apparatus,
which needs to be grounded to prevent
possible electric shock. Make sure that you
connect this Class I device to a grounding-type,
three-prong outlet.
17 The wall plug is the disconnecting device. The
plug must remain readily operable.
18 Batteries should not be exposed to excessive
heat such as sunshine, fire, or the like.
