This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with instructions contained in this manual, may cause harmful interference to radio and television communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

- REORIENT OR RELOCATE THE RECEIVING ANTENNA

- INCREASE THE SEPARATION BETWEEN THE EQUIPMENT AND THE RECEIVER

- CONNECT THE EQUIPMENT INTO AN OUTLET ON A CIRCUIT DIFFERENT FROM THAT OF THE RECEIVER

- CONSULT THE DEALER OR AN EXPERIENCED AUDIO/TELEVISION TECHNICIAN

NOTE: Connecting this device to peripheral devices that do not comply with Class B

requirements, or using an unshielded peripheral data cable, could also result in harmful interference to radio or television reception.

The user is cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

To ensure that the use of this product does not contribute to interference, it is necessary to use shielded I/O cables.

The following diagrams show the relative positions of the jumpers,

connectors, major components and memory banks on the motherboard.

# The LAN, VGA, CN11, AUX1 and CN16 connectors are optional. # The ALC650/655 embeds an internal analog switch (by driver software) to share LINE input with Surround output, and share MIC input with CENTER/LFE output.

NOTE

1) Be sure to check the cable orientation in order to match the colored strip to the pin1 end of the connector.

2) When you start up the system, please wait for 5 seconds after you power on AC.

3) It is not recommended to add a metal spacer plate on the back of the Socket478. Otherwise, some components will be short and damaged.
