This plug will only t into the power outlet in one direction. This is a
safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the direction of the plug. If the plug should still fail to t, contact
an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
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 at the point which they exit from the product.
Protective Attachment Plug: The product may be equipped with an attachment plug with overload protection. This is a safety feature. See the
operating instructions for replacement or directions to reset the protective
device. If replacement of the plug is required, be sure the service technician has used a replacement plug that has the same overload protection
as the original plug as specied by the manufacturer.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding: If an outside antenna is connected to the
product, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810
of the National Electrical Code, ANS/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 gure).
Lightning: For added protection for this product, unplug it from the wall outlet
and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a lightning storm or when
it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent
damage to the product due to lightning or power-line surges.

corresponds with the Audio Line-In jacks. Refer to
the documentation that comes with your amplier/re-
ceiver for more information.
For optimal volume control and audio delity, set the
volume level of the HDR-650 to approximately 80%,
and then adjust the volume to the desired level with the
controls of your amplier/receiver.
