Power Supply

Using AC power
1 Check if the power voltage, as shown on
the type plate located on the
bottom of the set, corresponds to your
local power supply. If it does not, consult
your dealer or service center.
2 If your set is equipped with a voltage
selector, adjust the selector so that it
matches with the local mains.
3 Connect the power cord to the AC
INPUT inlet and the wall socket.The power
cord is now connected and ready for use.
4 To switch the set off completely, withdraw
the power cord from the wall socket.
5 Install the unit near the AC outlet and where
the AC power plug can be easily reached.
• Disconnect the mains lead from the wall
socket to protect your set during heavy
thunderstorms. Children could seriously
injure themselves as the free end of the
cable may still be live if only the connector is
removed from the MAINS socket at the back
of the unit.
Helpful hints : To avoid unnecessary energy
consumption, always adjust the Source
selector to TAPE(OFF) after using the
set. Also check that the tape deck keys are
released.
The type plate is located on the bottom
of the set.
