CAUTION
Protective Circuit
This set is equipped with a high speed protctive circuit. This
circuit protects the internal circuitry from damage due to
large currents flowing when the speaker jacks are not
completely connected or when an output is generated by a
short circuit. This protective circuit's operation cuts off the
output to the speakers. In such a case, be sure to turn the
power to the set off and check the connections to the
speakers. Then turn the power on again. After muting for
several seconds, the set will operate normally.
