Before making connections
to other devices, it is very
important to turn down the
volume and turn off the
power in order to prevent
malfunctions or speaker
damage.
If you are using the serial
connector to make connec-
tions, you must also
connect the AC adaptor.
Turn off the power before
changing the setting of the
COMPUTER switch. The
setting of this switch takes
effect when the power is
turned on.
Be aware that the appro-
priate setting of the
COMPUTER switch may
differ, depending on the
type of computer.
You will need to have a
Computer cable (sold
separately) that is appro-
priate for the computer that
you are using. Refer to
Computer Cable Wiring
Diagrams (p. 106).
