CONNECTIONS:
MAIN POWER RECEPTACLE: This is a Standard 3-prong IEC power
1
connector. Connect the detachable line cord (included in the box with
your CDMP-6000 to the power receptacle, and plug the other end of the
line cord into an AC outlet. The CDMP-6000 has a universal power sup-
ply that can accept any AC voltage from 100 VAC to 240 VAC. No need
for voltage select switches. It will work virtually anywhere in the world. It
is less susceptible to voltage sags or spikes than conventional power
supplies, providing greater electro magnetic isolation and better protec-
tion against
AC line noise.
