CONNECTING
THE
AMPLIFIER
CAUTION:
@
Do
not
plug
the
power
cord
into
an
AC
wall
outlet
until
after
all
connections
have
been
made.
e@
Be
sure
to
make
the
correct
connections,
paying
attention
to
the
L
(left
channel)
and
R
(right
channel),
and
(+)
and
(—)
marks.
Plug
in
the
cables
and
connect
the
lead
wires
securely
because
loose
connections
will
result
in
unsatis-
factory
sound
reproduction
or
cause
noise
problems,
@
This
model
has
been
set
previously
to
the
power
line
for
220
V,
however
it
is
switchable
to
110
V
by
the
switch
on rear panel.

INPUT
connections
@
PHONO
(Connecting
a
turntable)
Connect
the
output
cables
of
a
turntable
(with
magnetic
cartridge)
to
the
jacks
marked
PHONO
INPUT.
The
upper
INPUT
jack
is
for
the
L
(left)
channel
and
the
lower
one
for
the
R
(right)
channel.
Be
sure
to
make
the
correct
connections.
The
ground
wire
of
the
turntable
should
be
connected
to
the
terminal
marked
GND
below
the
PHONO
INPUT
jacks
on
the
amplifier.
NOTE:
(a) In some rare instances involving particular types of
turntables
and
cartridges,
the
use
of
a
ground
wire
may
cause
a
noise
problem.
Should
this
be
the
case,
do
not
make
this
ground
connection.
(b)
There
are
various
types
of
cartridges
for
turntables.
They
may
differ
in
output
voltage
and
impedance.
e
TUNER
(Connecting
a
tuner)
Connect
the
output
cables
of
the
system
tuner
to
the
jacks
marked
JUNER
INPUT,
matching
the
L
(left)
and
R
(right)
marks,
e@
AUX
The
AUX
INPUT
jacks
are
spare
input
jacks
for
use
when
_
connecting
an
8-track
tape
player
or
a
second
system
tuner.

TAPE-1
&
TAPE-2
(Connecting
a
tape
deck)
There
are
two
sets
of
tape
jacks
on
the
rear
panel.
These
are
marked
TAPE-1
and
TAPE-2,
for
connections
to
tape
decks.
Be
sure
to
make
correct
connections,
taking
note
of
the
REC,
PB,
L
and
R
marks.
REC
jacks
(tape
recording
jacks)
Connect
these
jacks
to
the
LINE
INPUT
jacks
on
the
system
tape
deck
for
making
tape
recordings.
PB
jacks
(playback
jacks)
Make a connection between PB and LINE OUTPUT of
the
system
tape
deck
for
playing
tapes.
—~19-—
@ When two tape decks are connected to this amplifier,
Ww
wa)
one each at TAPE-1 and TAPE-2, tape dubbing can be
performed readily from one to the other.
. GROUND (GND)
This terminal is provided for a connection to the system
turntable and system tuner.
. SPEAKERS (Connecting speaker systems)
Eight terminals are provided for two speaker systems
SYSTEM-A and SYSTEM-B. If one pair of speakers is
used, use SYSTEM-A speaker terminals.
Connect the left channel speaker system to the speaker
terminals marked L and place it to the left of the amplifier
as seen from the listening position and right channel
speaker system to the terminals marked R.
Be careful to observe the correct polarity of the speaker
connection. The (+) and-(—) terminals of speakers must
match the (+) and (—) terminals of the amplifier. (Use
two-color speaker leads for better identification.)
If the polarity is not indicated on the speaker system,
make the connections and observe the following: if the
sound does not come from a point between the two
speakers, and if bass response appears insufficient, the
speaker connections are out of phase. Change the (+) and
(—) connections on one of the speakers only.
CAUTION:
(1) Be careful not to cause a short circuit between the
speaker terminals.
(2) The nominal impedance of the speaker systems to be
used in combination with this amplifier is 8 ohms.
IMPORTANT:
Before connecting the speaker cords to the speaker ter-
minals, strip about half an inch of insulation from both
ends of each conductor and twist the exposed strands of
wire tightly so that the wire ends become easy to handle
and good contact can be maintained. Then push down
on the terminal levers with your finger. Insert the speaker
wires into the holes and release the levers.
. DIN connector
The DIN connector has the same function as the TAPE-1
jacks and is designed for use when connecting a tape deck
which has a socket for the DIN-type plug. Just one patch
cord with a DIN-type plug at each end provides connections
for both recording and playback operations.
. AC SELECTOR
THIS UNIT WAS FACTORY-ADJUSTED TO OPERATE
ON YOUR LOCAL AC VOLTAGE AS INDICATED BY
110 V OR 220 V OPERATION, PROCEED AS FOLLOWS:
(1) First, disconnect the power plug from the AC wall
outlet.
(2) Remove the screw of the guide board and slide the
switch to the other setting.
(3) Secure the guide board with the other screw after
turning it in the opposite direction. ;
NEVER LOOSEN THE GUIDE BOARD SCREW AND
OTHER SCREW AT SAME TIME.
