CONNECTIONS

Mains

The type plate is located on the rear of the receiver.
1 Check whether the mains voltage as shown on the type
plate corresponds to your local mains voltage. If it does not,
consult your dealer or service organization.
2 Connect the mains cable to the wall socket.
To disconnect the set from the mains completely, remove the
mains plug from the wall socket.
For users in the U. K.: please follow the instructions on
page 2.

Power handling

If the receiver is used at very high power it can produce
distortions which may seriously damage your speakers. If
distortions occur, reduce the volume and the tone controls to
a level where the sound is acceptable again.
To avoid overheating of the set a safety circuit has
been built in. Therefore your set may disconnect under
extreme conditions. If this happens, switch the set off
and let it cool down before reusing it. After having let
the set cool down switch the set on again and select
the desired source by turning SOURCE SELECT.

Speaker connections

Some of the speaker connections on the receiver are screw
connectors and some are click-fit connectors. Use them as
