outlet. Be certain that the outlet voltage matches the elec-
trical rating of the unit, found on the rear panel name plate.
2. Connecting and removing AC cord
Be sure to connect or disconnect the AC line cord only
after turning off the power switch to prevent possible shock
noise or damage to the speakers.
3. Ventilate the unit well
Never block any ventilation holes at the top and bottom
of the unit. Be sure also to provide ample ventilation space
around the unit. Poor ventilation may result in damage
due to excessive heat.
4. Do not open the cabinet
5. installation
Be sure to place the unit in a level and flat place where
it is free from humidity, vibration, high temperature and
not exposed to direct sunlight. Be careful not to place the
unit in a highly enclosed place such as near a wall or on
a bookshelf. A poor ventilation will cause undesirable effects
to the unit.

If your unit comes with a 2-core cable without a plug,
make certain live and neutral leads are connected to
the proper terminals. Check that the termnals are
screwed down firmly and no loose strands of wire are
present.
IMPORTANT: The wires in this mains lead are cloured
in accordance with the following code;
BLUE: NEUTRAL
BROWN: LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this
apparatus may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug pro-
ceed as follows. the wire which is coloured BLUE
must be connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter N or coloured BLUE OR BLACK. |
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be con-
nected to the terminal which is marked with the let-
ter L or coloured BROWN or RED.
CAUTION:
To prevent electric shock do not use this (polarized) plug
with an extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unles
the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.
SPEAKERS
Use speaker systems with impedance ratings of 8-16 ohms,
when you hook up 2 sets of speaker systems, be sure to
speakers with ratings of 8-16 ohms. Before hooking up your
speaker system, check its impedance, which should be in-
dicated either on the back of the speaker, or in the speaker
instruction manual.
HOOKING UP SPEAKERS
On the rear panel of the RA-820AX are two sets of speaker
terminals, "DIRECT" and "REMOTE", to which two speaker
systems may be connected. Connect the speaker leads of
the right-hand speaker to terminals RIGHT, and the speaker
leads of the left-hand speaker to terminals LEFT. Make
sure that the ''+'' speaker lead is connected to the "+"
terminal, and the ''—" lead to the '- " terminal.
Strip 1.0cm (3/8") of the polyvinyl chloride insulation from
the end of each speaker lead. Twist the exposed strands
tightly, and secure the end with a touch of solder.
Note: When only one pair of speakers is used, be sure to
connect them to DIRECT terminals, which is ''straight-path"',
so headphone circuit is not connected. If wish to listen to
headphone and privately, connect the remote speaker ter-
minals and use the speaker remote button on front panel
to turn speaker off.
