Safety precaution with use of a polarized AC plug. However, some products may be supplied with a nonpolarized plug. CAUTION : To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to wide slot, fully insert. FOR OTHER COUNTRIES ................... 115 V/230 V FOR YOUR SAFETY Units shipped to countries other than the above countries are equipped with an AC voltage selector switch on the rear panel. Refer to the following paragraph for the proper setting of this switch. AC VOLTAGE SELECTION This unit operates on 115/230 V AC. The AC voltage selector switch on the rear panel is set to the voltage that prevails in the area to which the unit is shipped. Before connecting the power cord to your AC outlet, make sure that the setting position of this switch matches your line voltage. If not, it must be set to your voltage in accordance with the following direction. FOR EUROPE AND AUSTRALIA .........230 V/240 V FOR YOUR SAFETY Units shipped to Australia are designed for operation on 240 V AC only. To ensure safe operation, the three-pin plug supplied must be inserted only into a standard three-pin power point which is effectively earthed through the normal household wiring. Extension cords used with the equipment must be three-core and be correctly wired to provide connection to earth. Improper extension cords are a major cause of fatalities. The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is earthed and that the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective earthing of the power point, consult a qualified electrician. PAN-EUROPEAN UNIFIED VOLTAGE All units are suitable for use on supplies 230~240 V AC.

Be sure to connect the white RCA pin cord to the L(left) and the red RCA pin cord to the R(right) jacks when making audio connections. Change the position of the FM indoor antenna until you get the best reception of your favorite FM stations. A 75 outdoor FM antenna may be used to further improve the reception. Disconnect the indoor antenna before replacing it with the outdoor one. Place the AM loop antenna as far as possible from the receiver, TV set, speaker cords and the AC input cord and set it to a direction for the best reception. If the reception is poor with the AM loop antenna, an AM outdoor antenna can be used in place of the AM loop antenna. Make connections firmly and correctly. If not, it can cause loss of sound, noise or damage to the receiver. If the electricity fails or the AC input cord is left unplugged for more than 2 weeks, the memorized contents will be cleared. Should this happen, memorize them again. I CONNECTING ANTENNAS FM (OUTDOOR ANTENNA) AM LOOP AVIS : RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE-NE PAS OUVRIR. WARNING : SHOCK HAZARD-DO NOT OPEN.
