"Note to CATV system installer:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's
attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC which provides guidelines
for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable
ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building,
as close to the point of cable entry as practical."
15) Lightning -- For added protection for this product during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product
due to lightning and power-line surges.
16) Power Lines -- An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light
or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or
circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care
should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits
as contact with them might be fatal.
17) Overloading -- Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords,
or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in risk of fire
or electric shock.
18) Object and Liquid Entry -- Never push objects of any kind
into this product through openings as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric
shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
19) Servicing -- Do not attempt to service this product yourself as
opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage
or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
20) Damage Requiring Service -- Unplug this product from the
wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under
the following conditions:
a) when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b) if liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product.
c) if the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d) if the product does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered
by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work
by a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal
operation.
e) if the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.
f ) when the product exhibits a distinct change in performance _
this indicates a need for service.
21) Replacement Parts -- When replacement parts are required,
be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified
by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original
part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or
other hazards.
22) Safety Check -- Upon completion of any service or repairs to
this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the product is in proper operating condition.
23) Wall or Ceiling Mounting -- The product should be mounted
to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
24) Heat -- The product should be situated away from heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
10) Ventilation -- Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided
for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to
protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be
blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by
placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.
This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a
bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the
manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to.
11) Power Sources -- This product should be operated only from
the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are
not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your
product dealer or local power company. For products intended to
operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating
instructions.
12) Grounding or Polarization -- This product may be equipped
with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet
only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the
plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should
still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
13) Power-Cord Protection -- Power-supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to
cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they
exit from the product.
14) Outdoor Antenna Grounding -- If an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or
cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with
regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode.

Back-up Memory Function
This is the function which preserves the
preset memory and most-recent memory
functions. In the event of a power failure, or if
the power cord of this unit is disconnected
from the electric outlet, the back-up memory
will preserve the preset memory and most-
recent memory functions for as long as
approximately 3 days.
To Prevent Erasing the Memory
If the power supply is interrupted for 3 days
or longer, the memory settings will be
erased.
When to Use RESET Switch
< When this system is subjected to an
electrical shock.
< When the power is irregular.
In these cases, try the following (in power
on VCR/VIDEO 1 function.):
Press the TUNING MODE button for more
than 3 seconds.
Note:
If the TUNING MODE button is pressed for
more than 3 seconds in VCR/VIDEO 1
function or Standby mode, all the memory
will be erased.
Fonction de mémoire de soutien
C'est la fonction qui retient la mémoire des
préréglages et les fonctions mémoire les plus
récentes. Dans le cas d'une panne de
courant, ou si le cordon d'alimentation de cet
appareil est débranché de la prise de
courant, la mémoire de soutien retiendra la
mémoire des préréglages et les fonctions
mémoire les plus récentes pendant 3 jours
environ.
Pour éviter d'effacer la mémoire
Si l'alimentation est interrompue pendant 3
jours ou plus, les réglages de la mémoire
seront effacés.
UTILISATION DU COMMUTATEUR DE
REMISE À ZÉRO

Speaker Connections
Caution:
To avoid damaging the speakers with a
sudden high-level signal, be sure to switch
the power off before connecting the
speakers.
< Check the impedance of your speakers.
Connect speaker with an impedance of 8
ohms or more.
The amplifier's red speaker terminals are
the + (positive) terminals and the black
terminals are the _ (negative) terminals.
< The + side of the speaker cable is
marked to make it distinguishable from the
_ side of the cable. Connect this marked
side to the red + terminal and the
unmarked side to the black terminal.
< Prepare the speaker cords for connection
by stripping off approximately 10 mm or
less (no more as this could cause a short-
circuit) of the outer insulation.
Twist the wires tightly together so that
they are not straggly : A
Branchement des haut-parleurs
Attention:
Pour éviter d'endommager les haut-parleurs
en entrant soudainement un signal de niveau
élevé, bien couper l'alimentation avant de
raccorder les haut-parleurs.
< Vérifiez l'impédance des enceintes.
Vous pouvez brancher des enceintes
ayant une impédance nominale de 8 ohms
ou plus.
Sur l'amplificateur les bornes rouges
SPEAKER sont les bornes + (positives),
les noires sont les bornes _ (négatives).
< L'extrémité + du câble de l'enceinte est
marquée pour la distinguer de l'extrémité
_. Branchez l'extrémité marquée sur la
borne rouge + , et l'extrémité non
marquée sur la borne noire.
< Avant de brancher les cordons des
enceintes, préparez-les en dénudant le fil
sur 10 mm maximum. (le dénuder
davantage peut provoquer un court-
circuit.)
Torsadez les fils ensemble pour éviter
qu'ils ne partent dans tous les sens : A
How to connect
Press the lever, insert the stripped and
twisted end (approx. 3/8") of the cord, then
release the lever :
Make sure it is fastened securely by
pulling the cord lightly.
