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

requiring more than

the

outlet's

specified value.

7. Keep
