Factory fitted moulded mains plug

1. The mains plug contains a fuse. For replacement, use only a 13-Amp ASTA-approved (BS1362) fuse.

2. The fuse cover must be refitted when replacing the fuse in the moulded plug.

3. Do not cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or adapter, or consult your dealer.

If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off, remove the fuse and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.

Europe (Except for U.K.)........................................................230 V only

*Other countries............................110-120/220^30-240 Vswitchable

*AC voltage selection

The AC voltage selector switches Type A and Type B on the rear panel are set to the voltage that prevails in the area to which the unit is shipped. Before connecting the power cord to your AC outlet, make sure that the setting position of these switches matche your line voltage. If not, it must be set to your voltage in accordance with the following direction.

Our warranty does not cover damage caused by excessive line voltage due to improper setting of the AC voltage selector switches.

FM DE-EMPHASIS/CHANNEL SPACE switch (Except for some areas)

The FM DE-EMPHASIS/CHANNEL SPACE switch on the rear panel is set to the correct setting that prevails in the area to which the unit is shipped.

However, if the FM DE-EMPHASIS/CHANNEL SPACE setting is not matched to the area where the unit is to be used; for instance, when you move from area 1 to area 2 or vice versa, desired reception of AM/FM broadcasts is not expected. In this case, change the FM DE-EMPHASIS/CHANNEL SPACE setting in accordance with the area corresponding to the table. The FM DE

EMPHASIS is switched over at the same time.

• When changing the setting of the FM DE-EMPHASIS/CHANNEL SPACE switch, first disconnect the power cord, then reset the channel space switch, connect the power cord again, and turn the power on.

CAUTION:

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of proce dures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

In compliance with Federal Regulations, following are reproductions of iables on, or inside the product relating to laser product safety.

Caution

When installing the system components in a horizontal cofiguration, place the preamplifier/tuner unit (C-E9) and power amplifier/graphic equalizer unit (B-E9) to the right of the CD player unit (DP-ME9) and cassette deck unit (X-E9) as shown in the connection diagram. Do not place the CD player and cassette deck to the right of the power amplifier/graphic equalizer unit, for this will lead to overheating or malfunction.
