HUM

AND

NOISE

In

any

high

fidelity

installation,

hum

may

be

caused

by

the

interconnection

of

a

turntable,

tuner

and

amplifier,

and

speakers

as

the

result

of

wiring,

different

grounding

or

locations

of

components.

If

hum

is

experienced

with

your

unit,

discon¬

nect

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

connections

or

by

running

the

cables

too

close

to

a

strong

AC

field.

When

your

unit

picks

up

noise

during

the

reception

of

broadcasts,

causes

are

mostly

due

to

external

objects

such

as

fluorescent

lamps

and

house

appliances

using

motor

or

thermo¬

stat,

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

RA-870

incorporates

all

possible

safety

measures

by

combining

multiple

protection

circuits

to

prevent

accident

or

If

for

some

reason

the

protection

circuit

is

activated,

there

will

be

a

sudden

cut-off

of

sound

from

the

speakers,

and

the

protection

indicator

will

light

up.

If

no

sound

is

produced,

the

reason

may

be

due

to

the

functioning

of

the

protection

circuit.

First,

turn

off

the

power

and

disconnect

the

plug

from

the

electrical

outlet,

and

check

to

be

sure

that

the

speaker

cables

are

not

short-

circuited.

Also

check

to

make

sure

the

im¬

pedance

of

each

speaker

is

8

ohms

or

over

(if

it

is

below

8

ohms,

the

unit

will

be

overloaded

due

to

low

impedance).

After

checking

the

above

points,

turn

the

power

on,

and

the

protection

circuit

will

be

automatically

deactivated

and

the

unit

will

start

functioning

again.

If

the

protection

circuit

is

activated

again

de¬

spite

taking

the

above

action,

cut

off

the

power

supply

from

your

entire

audio

system

and

con¬

sult

your

dealer

or

a

qualified

electrician.

Note:

The

protection

circuit

will

normally

operate

to

prevent

a

popping

noise

from

being

generated

upon

turning

on

the

power

or

upon

operating

Phono

MM/MC

selector.

No

sound

is

produced

for

several

seconds

upon

switching.
