About the AC power cord
The supplied AC power cord has a 3-pronged grounded plug. If
you are using 3-pronged grounded mains, the plug can be
inserted directly into the mains. However, if the socket is a 2-
pronged grounded mains, use the supplied plug adapter or a
commercially available plug adapter.

2-pronged polarized mains
• When the width of the mains are a different size
Use the supplied plug adapter.
• When the width of the mains are the same size
Use a commercially available plug adapter. In this case, you
can check the polarity of the mains with a commercially
available spark-testing screwdriver. It is the pronged ground
that does not light the neon grow lamp even if you insert the
spark-testing screwdriver into the mains. Insert the blades so
that the “N pole” can be inserted to the ground on the plug.
If noise (hum) is produced
Noise may be caused by an electric potential difference on the
ground circuit.* In this case, use the supplied plug adapter and
be careful not to connect the ground lead to anything.
* Although the ground of the domestic mains is normally a
safety ground, a few electrical potential differences may be
produced, depending on the mains. Therefore, use of the
supplied 3-pronged mains lead may lessen the quality of the
audio signal or may produce humming noise.
