operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.
2. Power-cord protection —- Power-supply cords should
be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against them, pay
particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and.the point where they exit from the
unit.
Never pull or stretch
the cord.
3. Grounding or polarization — The precautions should
be taken so that the grounding or polarization means of
this unit is not defeated.

kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a
swimming pool, etc.
6. Temperature - The unit may not function property if
used at extremely low, or.freezing temperatures. The
ideal ambient temperature is above +5°C (41°F).
4 kR-V8030 (En)
7. Heat= The unit should be situated away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other units (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
8. Electric shock — Care should be taken so that objects
do not fall and liquid is not spilled into the enclosure
through openings. If a metal object, such as a hair pin
or a needle, comes into contact with the inside of this
unit, a dangerous electric shock may result. For families

of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70 -
1984, provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode. See Figure.

FM DE-EMPHASIS/CHANNEL SPACE switch
{Except for some areas}
The FM DE-EMPHASIS/CHANNEL SPACE switch on the rear panel
is set to the correct setting that prevails in the area to which the
unit is shipped. However, if the FM DE-EMPHASIS/CHANNEL
SPACE setting is not matched to the area where the unit is to be
used; for instance, when you move from area 1 to area 2 or vice
versa, desired reception of AM/FM broadcasts is not expected. !n
this case, change the FM DE-EMPHASIS/CHANNEL SPACE setting
in accordance with the area corresponding to the table. The FM
DE-EMPHASIS is switched over at the same time.
@ When changing the setting of the FM DE-EMPHASIS/CHANNEL
SPACE switch, first disconnect the power cord, then reset the
channel space switch, connect the power cord again during
pressing the TUNER key of the input selector, and turn the pow-
eron.
When activating the CHANNEL SPACE switch, the preset mem-
ory contents of the tuner and the set up memory contents of
the SURROUND function will be lost.
According to the impedance of the speakers used, set the
SPEAKER IMPEDANCE SELECTOR on the rear panel as shown
in the table.
