HUM

AND

NOISE

In

any

high

fidelity

installations,

hum

may

be

caused

by

the

interconnection

of

turntable,

tuner,

amplifier

and

speakers

as

the

result

of

wiring,

different

grounding

or

locations

of

components.

If

hum

is

experienced

with

your

unit,

disconnect

everything

but

the

speakers

from

the

unit,

Plug

in

the

turntable

and

if

hum

or

howling

appears,

move

it

away

from

the

speakers

as

much

as

possible.

Note

hum

may

also

be

induced

by

defective

cable

connections

or

by

running

the

cables

too

close

to

strong

AC

field.

When

your

unit

picks

up

noise

during

the

reception

of

broadcasts,

causes

are

mostly

due

to

external

objects

such

as

fluorescent

lamps

and

house

appliances

using

motor

or

thermostat,

or

others

than

may

induce

noise.

Either

relocating

the

unit

away

from

the

noise

sources

or

using

an

improved

outdoor

antenna

may

readily

resolve

the

problem.

In

the

event

you

cannot

find

the

cause,

consult

your

dealer

or

a

qualified

electrician.

and

those

on

the

components.

2.

Connecting

Speakers

a)

U

s

e

speakers

with

impedance

ratings

of

4

to

8

ohms.

However,

if

you

wish

to

hook

up

2

sets

(pairs)

of

speaker

systems

and

drive

both

sets

simultaneously,

ensure

each

speaker

is

rated

8

ohms

minimum.

Never

connect

speakers

with

lower

impedance

than

8

ohms

in

this

case.

The

speaker

impedance

is

indicated

on

the

back

or

in

the

instruction

manual

of

the

speaker.

b)

Do

not

use

speakers

that

have

very

high

capacitive

load,

say,

over

0.1

microfarads,

as

it

may

cause

a

damage

to

the

power

amplifier

section.

Normally,

most

speakers

are

low

capacitance

type,

but

there

are

a

few

which

do

have

excessively

high

capacitance.

c)

Use

proper

speaker

cords

normally

your

dealer

will

recommend,

with

as

low

capacitance

content

as

possible.

The

speaker

terminal

posts

provided

on
