READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT  
FOR U.S.A AND CANADA .................................. 120 V  
FOR OTHER COUNTRIES ........................ 115 V/230 V  
FOR YOUR SAFETY  
FOR YOUR SAFETY  
Units shipped to the U.S.A and Canada are designed  
for operation on 120 V AC only.  
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.  
Safety precaution with use of a polarized AC plug.  
However, some products may be supplied with a  
nonpolarized plug.  
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.  
CAUTION : To prevent electric shock, match wide  
blade of plug to wide slot, fully insert.  
FOR CHINA, EUROPE AND AUSTRALIA ........ 220V/230V/240V  
FOR YOUR SAFETY  
Units shipped to China are designed for operation on  
220 V AC only.  
AC voltage selector switch  
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.  
Move switch lever to match your line voltage with a  
small screwdriver or other pointed tool.  
PAN-EUROPEAN UNIFIED VOLTAGE  
All units are suitable for use on supplies 230-240 V  
AC.

System Connections  
• Do not plug the AC input cord into the wall AC outlet until all connections are completed.  
• Be sure to connect the white RCA pin cords to the L(left) and the red RCA pin cords 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 several days, the memorized contents will  
be cleared. Should this happen, memorize them again.
