Notes:
1. When connecting the components, make
the correct left
and right channel connections. Reversed channels may de-
grade
the stereo effect.
2. Connect speakers
with correct polarity: (+) to (+) and (-)
to (-). Reversed polarity may degrade the stereo effect.
3. Switch the power off when connecting any component.
4. Connect plugs or wires firmly. Poor contact may result in
hum .
5. Use speakers with an impedance of 8 ohms or more (16
ohms when the 1 + 2
position is used). Speakers with an
im pedance down to 4 ohms (8 ohms when the 1 + 2 posi·
tion is used) may be used, in which case the temperature
rise
of the cabinet may not satisfy BS415 or IEC 65. Be
sure to provide good ventilation, especially when speakers
with an impedance of 4 ohms (8 ohms when the 1 + 2 posi·
tion is used) are used.
6. The AC outlets provide no power when the power is
turned off. Do not connect equipme nt requiring more than
the
outlet's specified value.
7. Keep
the connection cords as far as po ssi b le from the TV.

CAUTION :
•
When a television lis connected to the CATV OUT
terminal of this unit, pUlsating sound and a blinking
picture may result because the signal entering the CATV
IN terminal is too weak. If this happens, connect a
CATV booster amplifier to the CATV IN terminal to
strengthen the signal.
• If
the outdoor antenna installation is impossible and if
the TV signal strength is weak, FM signal may interfere
with the TV picture and sound.
• Before connecting this unit to the CATV system, consult
the cable company.
