If you lose the fuse cover the plug must not be used until
a replacement cover is obtained.
A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your
local dealer.
CAUTION!
IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE
FOR THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME THEN
THE FUSE SHOULD BE REMOVED AND THE PLUG
CUT OFF AND DISPOSED OF SAFELY.

SHOCK IF THE CUT OFF PLUG IS INSERTED INTO
ANY 13-AMPERE SOCKET.
If a new plug is to be fitted please observe the wiring
code as shown below.
If in any doubt please consult a qualified electrician.
IMPORTANT
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance
with the following code:
Biue: Neutral, Brown: Live.
As these colours may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed
as follows:
The wire! which is coloured Blue must be connected to
the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured
Black or Blue.
The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to
the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured
Brown or Red.

holder (facing in the direction of best reception).
Pay attention to the following points when mounting the antenna.
® Do not mount it close to AC mains lead, speaker wires or metal
surfaces (Doing so will result in noise).
® Do not mount it close to a tape deck. When the tape deck is
being used, chirping or beeping sounds may result.
| When mounting the antenna to a column, a wall or rack |
Mount the antenna so that the hinge is vertical.

Troubleshooting guide
Before requesting service for this unit, check the chart below for a
possible cause of the problem you are experiencing. Some simple
checks or a minor adjustment on your part may eliminate the
problem and restore proper operation.
If you are in doubt about some of the check points, or if the
remedies indicated in the chart do not solve the problem, refer to

| Problem | Probable cause(s) |
Suggested remedy
While listening to FM broadcasts
An unusual hissing noise is
heard when listening to the
broadcast In stereo, but not
heard when listening
monaurally.
A slight noise may be heard because the method
used for modulation of FM stereo broadcasts is
different than that used for monaural broadcasts.
Noise is excessive in both
stereo and monaural broad-
casts.
Poor location and/or direction of the antenna.
Transmitting station is too far away.
e Try reducing the treble sound by using the treble
control. (©)
e Try changing the location, height and/or direction
of the antenna. (@, ©)
e |f an indoor antenna is being used, change to an
outdoor antenna. (O)
e Try using an antenna with more elements.
The FM stereo indicator or
the quartz lock indicator
flickers, without completely
illuminating.
Poor location and/or direction of the antenna.
Transmitting station is too far away.
Excessive distortion in the
sound of stereo broadcasts.
Nearby building or mountain.
e Try changing the location, height and/or direction
of the antenna. (0, O)
e |f an indoor antenna is being used, change to an
outdoor antenna. (O)
e Try using an antenna with more elements.
While listening to AM broadcasts
An unusual “beat” sound is
heard.
Unit is being used at the same time as the
television set.
e Turn off the television set, or use this unit farther
away from it.
Interference from adjacent broadcast signal.
e Try reducing the treble sound by using the treble
control. (0)
A low-pitched “hum” sound
is heard when the station is
tuned.
The AM loop antenna connection wires are too
close to the AC mains lead.
e Place the antenna connection wires and the AC
mains lead farther apart.
The power supply frequency from the AC mains
lead is modulated and heard from the speakers.
e Install a special outdoor antenna. (0)
A strange hissing noise is
produced continuously or
intermittently.
Caused by the “discharge phenomenon” and the
“oscillation phenomenon” of electric appliances
(such as fluorescent lights, TV, small series-type
motors, rectification equipment, etc.).
® Try placing this unit farther away from such equip-
ment.
| Common Problems
Unit will not switch ON.
The AC mains lead plug is not completely
inserted.
® Confirm that the AC mains lead plug is connected
completely.
No sound is heard.
The speaker indicator is turned off.
e Turn on the speaker indicator. (@)
“The tape monitor function is ON.
e Press the tape monitor button. (®)
The muting function is ON.
e Press the muting button. ({®)
Connections to the speaker systems or external
equipment are incomplete or incorrect.
e Check that all wires and cables are correctly con-
nected. (@, ©)
The incorrect input source has been selected.
e Check that the correct source is selected. (P)
Sound stops during a per-
formance, or no sound is _
heard when the unit is
switched ON.
(The word “OVERLOAD”
appears on the display.)
The protection circuitry has functioned because
the positive and negative speaker connection
wires have “shorted,” speaker systems with an
impedance less than the indicated rated
impedance of this unit have been used or are
under severe use, such as through excessive vol-
ume, excessive power or being in an excessively
hot environment.
e Switch off the unit, and after determining and cor-
recting the cause, switch on the unit once again.
e Use a speaker system of the proper impedance
rating. (O)
