WARNING

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.

To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

Do not install the appliance in a confined space, such as a bookcase or built-in cabinet.

Precautions

On safety

•Do not disassemble the cabinet as this may result in an electrical shock. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

•Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the amplifier and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

On power sources

•Before operating the amplifier, check that the operating voltage of the amplifier is identical with your local power supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate at the rear of the amplifier.

•The amplifier is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the amplifier itself has been turned off.

•If you are not going to use the amplifier for a long time, be sure to disconnect the amplifier from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.

•AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.

On placement

•Place the amplifier in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat built-up and prolong the life of the amplifier.

•Do not place the amplifier near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock.

•Do not place anything on top of the cabinet that might block the ventilation holes and cause malfunctions.

On operation

Before connecting other components, be sure to turn off and unplug the amplifier.

On cleaning the amplifier

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

On the prevention of howling

Do the following: —lower the volume.

—keep the turntable as far from the speakers as possible.

—use commercially available audio insulators on the bottom of the turntable.

—keep the microphone away from the speakers during use.

For further protection against howling, set the speakers or turntable on top of a heavy wooden board or concrete slab.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your amplifier, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Connecting to bi-wire system speakers (TA-FE910R/FE710R/FE610R only)

Since the two pairs of speaker terminals on your amplifier, SPEAKERS A and B, can provide simultaneous speaker output, you can use them to connect a bi-wire speaker system. To drive both speaker systems simultaneously, set SPEAKERS to A+B.

To select the speaker system A or B

Set SPEAKERS to A or B. To drive both speaker systems simultaneously, set SPEAKERS to A+B.

Note

Use speakers with a nominal impedance of 4 to 16 ohms. When outputting at the same time to two speaker systems, use speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 to 16 ohms.

Mains Lead Hookups

Connecting the mains lead

Connect the mains lead from this amplifier and from your audio/video components to wall outlets.

zYou can power other components through AC OUTLET on the amplifier (unavailable on the TAFE510R (U.K. model), FE310R (U.K. model), and TAFE210)

By connecting other audio components to AC OUTLET on the amplifier, you can supply power to the connected components through the amplifier and turn them all on or off when you turn the amplifier on or off.

Caution

Make sure that the total power consumption of all components connected to the outlets on the amplifier does not exceed 100 watts. Do not connect electrical home appliances such as an electric iron, fan, TV, or other highwattage appliances to these outlets.

Note

Separate the mains lead, audio connecting cords and speaker cords. Noise or sound deterioration may occur when audio connecting cords are in contact with the mains lead, or when the mains lead or speaker cords are placed near the tuner’s loop aerial or aerial wire.

Press SOURCE DIRECT so that the indicator lights up. Since the circuits of TONE controls, BALANCE control, LOUDNESS button, and SUBSONIC button (TAFE910R/FE710R/FE610R only) are bypassed, you cannot adjust bass, treble, the balance, reinforce the bass and treble, or reduce subsonic noise components while listening to a source directly.

Note

Avoid high speaker output at which the sound is distorted. High-frequency distortion may damage the tweeters.

Basic Operations

zWhat is the Enhanced Other Networks (EON)?

One convenient RDS service is ”Enhanced Other Networks” (or ”EON”). This allows the unit to automatically switch to a programme type of your choice when one starts in your broadcast area.

To receive the Enhanced Other Networks (EON) programmes (TAFE910R/FE710R/FE610R/FE510R only)

When your ampifier is connected to a Sony tuner with the EON CONTROL system, the amplifier switches to any EON programme that is broadcast in your EON area, and switches back to the last selected programme source when the programme ends.

1Make sure that the amplifier and the tuner are connected through the EON CONTROL terminals (see page 5).

2Press EON LINK so that the indicator lights up.

Whenever an EON programme starts on the radio frequency that your tuner is set to, you will receive it.

To cancel EON reception

Press EON LINK again so that the indicator goes off.

Notes

•If you select another programme source while receiving an EON programme, EON reception ends. However, as long as the EON LINK indicator lights up, you can receive EON programmes automatically.

•Make sure to cancel EON reception before starting to record since an EON programme may interfere with your recording.

•If you activate the Tape Monitor function (see page 9) while the EON LINK indicator is lit, the indicator goes off and you cannot receive EON programmes. If this happens, deactivate the Tape Monitor function so that the indicator lights up again.

Afin d’éviter tout risque d’incendie ou d’électrocution, ne pas exposer cet appareil à la pluie ou à l’humidité.

Afin d’écarter tout risque d’électrocution, garder le coffret fermé. Ne confier l’entretien de l’appareil qu’à un personnel qualifié.

N’installez pas l’appareil dans un espace confiné comme dans une bibliothèque ou un meuble encastré.

Sécurité

•Afin d’éviter tout choc électrique, n’ouvrez pas le coffret. Confiez l’entretien de l’amplificateur à un technicien qualifié.

•Si un objet ou un liquide tombait dans l’amplificateur, débranchez-le et faites-le vérifier par un technicien qualifié avant de le remettre en marche.

Sources d’alimentation

•Avant de mettre l’amplificateur sous tension, vérifiez si sa tension de fonctionnement correspond à celle du secteur local. La tension de fonctionnement est indiquée sur la plaque signalétique à l’arrière de l’amplificateur.

•L’amplificateur n’est pas déconnecté de la source d’alimentation secteur tant qu’il reste branché sur la prise murale, même s’il a été mis sous tension.

•Débranchez l’amplificateur de la prise murale s’il doit rester inutilisé pendant une période prolongée. Pour débrancher le cordon d’alimentation secteur, tirez sur la fiche; jamais sur le cordon lui-même.

•Le cordon d’alimentation secteur doit être remplacé par un technicien compétent.

Installation

•Installez l’amplificateur à un endroit suffisamment aéré pour éviter toute surchauffe interne et prolonger sa durée de vie.

•N’installez pas l’amplificateur près d’une source de chaleur, ou bien à un endroit exposé en plein soleil, à une poussière excessive ou à des chocs mécaniques.

•Ne posez rien sur l’amplificateur qui pourrait obstruer les ailettes de ventilation ou provoquer une panne.

Fonctionnement

Avant de raccorder d’autres appareils, mettez l’amplificateur hors tension et débranchez-le.

Nettoyage de l’amplificateur

Nettoyez le coffret, le panneau et les commandes avec un chiffon doux, légèrement humidifié de solution détergente douce. N’utilisez pas de tampon abrasif, de poudre à récurer ou de solvant, comme l’alcool ou l’essence.

Pour éviter le ronflement

—Réduisez le volume.

—Éloignez le tourne-disque le plus possible des enceintes.

—Mettez des isolateurs audio en vente dans le commerce sous le tournedisque.

—Maintenez le microphone éloigné des enceintes pendant l’utilisation.

Pour protéger encore mieux contre le hurlement, installez les enceintes ou le tourne-disque sur une planche de bois épaisse ou une dalle de béton.

Pour toute question ou problème au sujet de cet appareil, veuillez contacter votre revendeur Sony agréé.
