HUM

AND

NOISE

In

any

high

fidelity

installation,

hum

may

be

caused

by

the

interconnection

of

a

turntable,

tuner

and

amplifier,

and

speak¬

ers

as

the

result

of

wiring,

different

grounding

or

locations

of

components

If

hum

is

experienced

with

your

unit,

disconnect

everything

but

the

speakers

from

the

unit.

Plug

in

the

turntable

and

if

hum

or

howling

appears,

move

the

turntable

away

from

the

speakers

as

much

as

possible

Note

hum

may

also

be

induced

by

defective

cable

connec¬

tions

or

by

running

the

cables

too

close

to

strong

AC

field

When

your

unit

picks

up

noise

during

the

reception

of

broad¬

casts,

causes

are

mostly

due

to

external

objects

such

as

fluorescent

lamps

and

house

appliances

using

motor

or

ther¬

mostat,

or

others

that

may

induce

the

noise

Either

relocating

the

unit

away

from

the

noise

sources

or

using

an

improved

outdoor

antenna

may

readily

solve

the

problem

In

the

event

you

cannot

find

the

cause,

consult

your

dealer

or

a

qualified

electrician

PROTECTION

CIRCUIT

The

there

will

be

a

and

the

If

no

sound

is

produced,

the

reason

may

be

due

to

the

func¬

tioning

of

the

circuit.

First,

turn

off

the

power

and

disconnect

the

plug

from

the

electrical

outlet

Then

locate

and

remedy

the

cause

of

the

trouble

When

the

thermal

pro¬

tector

is

activated,

the

automatical¬

ly

after

the

above

action,

cut

and

consult

your

dealer

or

a

qualified

electrician.

Note:

The
