HUM AND NOISE
In any high fidelity installation, hum may be
caused by the interconnection of a turntable,
tuner and amplifier, and speakers as the result
of wiring, different grounding or locations of
components.
If hum is experienced with your unit, discon¬
nect everything but the speakers from the unit.
Plug in the turntable and if hum or howling
appears, move the turntable away from the
speakers as much as possible.
Note hum may also be induced by defective
cable connections or by running the cables too
close to a strong AC field.
When your unit picks up noise during the
reception of broadcasts, causes are mostly due
to external objects such as fluorescent lamps
and house appliances using motor or thermo¬
stat, or others that may induce the noiso.
Either relocating the unit away from the noise
sources or using an improved outdoor antenna
may readily solve the problom.
In the event you cannot find the cause, consult
your dealer or a qualified electrician.
PROTECTION CIRCUIT
To prevent accidental damage to the unit or
speakers, a protection circuit is installed in the
unit. If no sound is produced, a blown fuse may
be the cause. Turn off the unit, disconnect the
plug from the electrical outlet, and consult
your dealer or qualified electrician.
VOLTAGE SELECTION
Not available for U.K., Canada and Scandinavia
The unit is a variable voltage equipment that
can run on 120V, 220V or 240V powor supply.
Your unit should already be preset at the
proper voltage for use in your area. However, if
you move to an area where the power supply
voltage is different, consult your dealer.
