Toshiba MX-104 - Manual (Page 5)

Rear Panel
Power Switch (POWER)
The power switch is a three-
position type with the middle
position being the "off position.
The MX-104 should be operated
in the switch position which
produces the lowest amount of
system hum.
Speaker Jacks (SPEAKERS)
The speaker o u t p u t s are stand-
ard 1/4" phone jacks wired in
parallel. Speaker cables (recom-
mend at least #18 gauge wire)
should be connected between
the MX-104 and the speaker
systems prior to applying power
to the unit.
Caution - The MX-104 should
never be operated into less t h a n
a 4 ohm speaker load.
Earth Terminal (GND)
Cord Wrap
The cord wrap is provided for
convenient storage of the power
cord when t h e MX-104 is not in
use.
Caution - The power cord should
always be completely removed
from the cord wrap prior to
operation of the u n i t . This will
insure maximum cooling of the
MX-104. For the same reason,
adequate clearance should be
maintained between the rear
panel and any other surface (4-6
inches should do). The vents on
t h e b o t t o m and top of the MX-
104 are also provided for convec-
tion cooling. These vents should
be kept clear and open. Failure to
do so may cause thermal shut-
down of the unit.
AC Power Cord
The power cord is the three-wire
type with proper grounding faci-
lities.
Caution - The ground pin should
not be removed under any cir-
cumstances. If the MX-104 must
be used without proper ground-
ing facilities, a suitable ground-
ing adapter should be utilized.
Operation of the MX-104 with
proper grounding techniques
will result in less system noise
and
greatly reduced shock
hazard.
Warning - To avoid possible
equipment damage and/or per-
sonnel i n j u r y , the fuse should
always be replaced with same
type and rating. Using improper
fuses will also void the warran-
ty. The MX-104 should always
be disconnected from AC outlet
prior to changing fuses. If fuse
repeatedly fails, the unit should
be referred to qualified service
personnel for repair.
