MAINTENANCE

CONCERNING TRANSISTORS

Transistors differ fundamentally from radio vacuum tubes and
require special attention to ensure their full performance capabili»
ties. Given proper care. transistors will provide years of practically
troublefree performance,

(a) Avoid locations subject to direct sunlight,
(b) Avoid high or low temperature extremes.
(C) Keep the receiver away from heat radiating sources.

PROTECTION CIRCUIT

The newly developed protection circuit is completely effective
and prevents damage which may be caused by short-circuiting at
the speaker terminals or the power output circuit of the receiver.
When a short-circuit occurs, this protection circuit will function
automatically to protect the power output transistors. If the pow-
er output transistor fails, this protection circuit will function auto-
matically to protect the speakers.

NOTES

1. Units shipped to the USA. and CANADA are designed
to be operated with 120 volts AC only. Units shipped
to the Scandinavian countries are designed to be oper-
ated with 220 volts AC only. Therefore the above
units are not equipped with an AC Voltage Selector
Switch so all reference to such a switch throughout
this manual should be disregarded.

2. Units shipped to all other countries are equipped with
an AC Voltage Selector Switch on the rear panel that
is preset at the factory to the rvoltage generally availa-
ble in the destination area.

It is very important, however, to check the Voltage
Selector Switch setting and make sure that it corre-
sponds to your line voltage before connection the
power cord into an AC outlet. If the Voltage Selec-
tor requires re-setting. follow the directions outlined

on page 13.
