Power requirements
Power requirements for electrical equipment differ from area to area. The
operating voltage of this machine is preset at the factory according to its
intended destination. However, some models are equipped with a voltage
selector. If your machine is so equipped, before connecting, check to see
that the VOLTAGE SELECTOR on the rear panel is set to the voltage
for your area. If not, please set it correctly before plugging in the
power cord:
220V, 50 Hz for Europe except UK.
240V, 50 Hz for UK and Australia.
120V, 60 Hz for U.S.A. and Canada.
If the VOLTAGE SELECTOR on your machine looks like this: If the
VOLTAGE SELECTOR on your MPC60 looks like the diagram on
the right, please disconnect the power cord, then set the switch to the
correct voltage for your area, using a flat screwdriver.
What you should know to protect yourself and the Akai
MPC60:
Watch out! You might get an electric shock.
· Never touch the power plug with wet hands.
