120 V

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Units shipped to the U.S.A. and Canada are designed for operation on 120 V AC only.

Observe all safety precautions with use of a polarized AC plug.

However, some products may be supplied with a nonpolarized plug.

CAUTION : To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to wide slot, fully insert.

FOR EUROPE AND AUSTRALIA .........

230 V/240 V

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Units shipped to Australia are designed for operation on 240 V AC only.

To ensure safe operation, the three-pin plug supplied must be inserted only into a standard three-pin power point which is effectively earthed through the normal household wiring. Extension cords used with the equipment must be three-core and be correctly wired to provide connection to earth.

Improper extension cords are a major cause of fatalities. The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is earthed and that the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective earthing of the power point, consult a qualified electrician.

PAN-EUROPEAN UNIFIED VOLTAGE

All units are suitable for use on supplies 230-240 V AC.

FOR OTHER COUNTRIES .......................

110 V/220 V

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Units shipped to countries other than the above countries are equipped with an AC voltage selector switch on the rear panel. Refer to the following paragraph for the proper setting of this switch.

AC VOLTAGE SELECTION

This unit operates on 110-220 V AC. The AC voltage selector switch on the rear panel is 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 this switch matches your line voltage. If not, it must be set to your voltage in accordance with the following direction.

AC voltage selector switch

System Connections

Do not plug the AC input cord into the wall AC outlet until all connections are completed.

Be sure to connect the white RCA cord to the L(left) and the red RCA cord to the R(right) jacks when making audio connections.

Change the position of the FM indoor antenna until you get the best reception of your favorite FM stations. A 75 Ω outdoor FM antenna may be used to further improve the reception.

Disconnect the indoor antenna before replacing it with the outdoor one.

Place the AM loop antenna as far as possible from the receiver, TV set, speaker wires and the AC input cord. Point it in the direction that offers the best reception.

If the reception is poor with the AM loop antenna, an AM outdoor antenna can be used in place of the AM loop antenna. Make connections firmly and correctly. If not, it can cause loss of sound, noise or damage to the receiver.

If the electricity fails or the AC input cord is left unplugged for about 2 weeks, the memorized contents will be cleared. Should this happen, memorize them again.
