PROTECTOR CIRCUIT
No
sound
is
produced
for
about
three
seconds
after the power is
switched ON.
This
is
due
to the builL-in protector circuit
which protects
transistors and
speakers
from
damage
in
the
event
of
breakdowns.
Short circuits at the
speaker termj nals or
extremely
low
speaker impedance may
re-
sult in sudden cut-off of the sound or
con-
tinuous clicking
of
the
relays.
If
this occurs, turn off the power and check
the
speaker connections.
NOTES:
o lf
frinqe
aTeas
or
where reception is noisy, turning
the
SELECTOR switch
to
FM
MONO
will
usually
reduce
the
noise.
ln
this case, however, stereo broad
casts
wi I be
reproduced as monophonic.
.
ln

SX B28
is
delivered

a
se
ector
swltch
f
or acljustlng the

lf
your unit
is equipped
with
such
a
switch
(in
the cut.out in
the riqht
side
panel),
and
if
the
sound
seems
to
ack brilliance
in
tite
high
range, move the
de emphasis switch
to
its other
position.
NOTE:
lf
good reception
cannot
be
attained by steps
I
through
3 described in AM
RECEPTION, the antenna may
be
the
cause. Refer ro
ANTENNA
AND
GROUND
CONNECTIONS on
page 3.
When the station is
very
near, sound distortrons
rnay resuit
from
excessive
field
strength.
