The adaptor should be operated from a 230-
240V AC, 50 Hz. outlet. Ensure you select the
correctvoltage setting for your convenience.
2. Power Cord
The power supply cord should be placed so
that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched
by items placed upon them or against it. Pay
particular attention to cord where it enters
the plug, power outlet, and the point where it
exits from the receiver.
