CAUTION

Do not connect this unit or other components to the main power until all connections between components are

All connections must be correct: L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. If the connections are faulty,

no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound will be

unnatural and lack bass. Also, refer to the owner’s manual for each of your components.

VOLTAGE SELECTOR

(Asia and General models only)

The VOLTAGE SELECTOR on the rear panel of this unit

must be set for your local main voltage BEFORE plugging

the supplied power cable into the wall outlet.

Improper setting of the VOLTAGE SELECTOR may

cause damage to this unit and create a potential fire

hazard.

Rotate the VOLTAGE SELECTOR clockwise or

counterclockwise to the correct position using a straight

slot screwdriver.

Voltages are as follows:

Asia model.......................... AC 220/230–240 V, 50/60 Hz

Korea model .............................................................. None

Other models ........................................................ 2 outlets

Use these outlets to connect the power cables from your

other components to this unit. The power to the AC

OUTLET(S) is controlled by POWER on the front panel

of this unit (or on the remote control). The outlet(s) supply

power to any connected component whenever the power

of this unit is turned on. For information on the maximum

power (total power consumption of components), see

“SPECIFICATIONS” on page 15.

Note

Do not connect components with a built-in amplifier, such as a
