The all-direct-coupled quasi~complementary circuitry features a
differential primary stage plus high-dependability NPN and PNP
silicon transistors.

This assures outstanding frequency response, power bandwidth and
low distortion characteristics. The power section has a muting
circuit to avoid unpleasant clicking noises when the power is
switched on and off, also protecting the speakers.

Ultra-fidelity Pre-amplifier

A combination of specially-designed equalizer circuit for reduced
low noise, and styrol capacitors for outstanding frequency response
with lowest possible RIAA deviation-one of the most important
characteristics in record listening. The tone control'section is a CR
circuit employing a highly-balanced potentiometer for excellent
mid-range level control with no beat problems.

Quick-control Convenience

Dual sets of speaker output terminals work with the selector switch
to let you use two pairs of speaker system together or separately.
The system provides music enjoyment in two rooms using this
SA-5200. Fully-balanced low-volume listening, thanks to the

LINE VOLTAGE AND FUSE

The SA-5200 is available in two models: one model
operates only on 120V, and the other operates on one of
the five line voltages: 110V, 120V, 130V, 220V and
240V. If your SA-52001s the latter model, set the unit to
the proper line voltage by following the . procedure
described below.

CHANGING LINE VOLTAGE SETTING AND FUSE

To remove the fuse, turn the fuse cap located on the line
voltage selector in the direction of the arrow.

Then remove the fuse plug from the unit. Put the fuse
plug back so that the proper line voltage marking can be

seen through the cut in the edge 'of the plug. Whenever »

the position of the selector is changed, check the rating
of the fuse. A 0.5A fuse is to be used for either 220V or
240V operation and a 1A fuse for 110V, 120V or 130V
operation. If the rating of the fuse is correct, replace cap.

FUSE REPLACEMENT

When the fuse blows, remove the fuse cap and replace the
fuse with a new one.
