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 unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit 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 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.
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.

Connecting the mains lead
b
Connect the mains lead from this amplifier and from your audio/video components to wall outlets.
z You can power other components through AC
OUTLET on the amplifier (unavailable on the TA­FE320R (U.K. model))
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.

z What 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 (TA­FE520R 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.

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