Connecting the mains lead

Connect the mains lead from this amplifier and from

your audio/video components to wall outlets.

z You can power other components through AC

OUTLET on the amplifier (unavailable on the TA-

FE320R (U.K. model))

By connecting other audio components to AC OUTLET

on the amplifier, you can supply power to the

connected components through the amplifier and turn

them all on or off when you turn the amplifier on or off.

Caution

Make sure that the total power consumption of all

components connected to the outlets on the amplifier does

not exceed 100 watts. Do not connect electrical home

appliances such as an electric iron, fan, TV, or other high-

wattage appliances to these outlets.

Note

Separate the mains lead, audio connecting cords and speaker

cords. Noise or sound deterioration may occur when audio

connecting cords are in contact with the mains lead, or when

the mains lead or speaker cords are placed near the tuner’s

loop aerial or aerial wire.

1 Make sure that the amplifier and the tuner are connected through the

EON CONTROL terminals (see page 5).

2 Press EON LINK so that the indicator lights up.

Whenever an EON programme starts on the radio frequency that your

tuner is set to, you will receive it.

To cancel EON reception

Press EON LINK again so that the indicator goes off.

Notes

•If you select another programme source while receiving an EON programme, EON

reception ends. However, as long as the EON LINK indicator lights up, you can

receive EON programmes automatically.

•Make sure to cancel EON reception before starting to record since an EON

programme may interfere with your recording.

•If you activate the Tape Monitor function (see page 9) while the EON LINK indicator

is lit, the indicator goes off and you cannot receive EON programmes. If this

happens, deactivate the Tape Monitor function so that the indicator lights up again.
