Units shipped to the U.S.A. and Canada are
designed for operation on 120 V AC only.

FOR YOUR SAFETY
Units shipped to Australia are designed for operation
on 240 V AC only.
To ensure safe operation, the three-pin plug
supplied must be inserted only into a standard three-
pin power point which is effectively earthed through
the normal household wiring. Extension cords used
with the equipment must be three-core and be
correctly wired to provide connection to earth.
Improper extension cords are a major cause of
fatalities. The fact that the equipment operates
satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is
earthed and that the installation is completely safe.
For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective
earthing of the power point, consult a qualified
electrician.

Do not plug the AC input cord into the wall AC outlet until all connections are completed.
Be sure to connect the white RCA cord to the L (left) and the red RCA cord to the R (right) jacks when making audio
connections.
Change the position of the FM indoor antenna until you get the best reception of your favorite FM stations.
A 75 outdoor FM antenna may be used to further improve the reception.
Disconnect the indoor antenna before replacing it with the outdoor one.
Place the AM loop antenna as far as possible from the receiver, TV set, speaker wires and the AC input cord.
Point it in the direction that offers the best reception.
If the reception is poor with the AM loop antenna, an AM outdoor antenna can be used in place of the AM loop antenna.
Make connections firmly and correctly. If not, it can cause loss of sound, noise or damage to the pre amplifier.
If the electricity fails or the AC input cord is left unplugged for about 2 weeks, the memorized contents will be cleared.
Should this happen, memorize them again.
Connect this to the DIGI LINK jack of the external Sherwood
component that uses the DIGI LINK ll or lll remote control
system.

VIDEO PLAY jack of DVD will not be output in the MONITOR S-VIDEO jack or the MONITOR normal VIDEO jack.
A signal input into the S-VIDEO PLAY jack will be output in only the S-VIDEO REC jack and a signal input into the normal VIDEO
PLAY(or the COMPONENT VIDEO IN) jack will be also output in only its own VIDEO REC (or OUT) jack.
However, the video signal will be output in the MONITOR VIDEO jack according to the video signal priority ("COMPONENT"
"S"
"normal") as follows:
For better picture quality, use the S-VIDEO jacks to connect video components with the S-VIDEO REC(IN)/PLAY(OUT) jacks. When
using a video component with the COMPONENT VIDEO IN/OUT jacks, use the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks.
A signal input into the S-VIDEO PLAY jack will be output in both the MONITOR S-VIDEO jack and the MONITOR normal VIDEO jack
and a signal input into the normal VIDEO PLAY jack will be output in only the MONITOR normal VIDEO jack.
DVD player, a signal input into the COMPONENT VIDEO IN jack will be output in the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT
jack as well as the MONITOR S-VIDEO jack and the MONITOR normal VIDEO jack.
Note : The On Screen Display function is not available when using the COMPONENT VIDEO connections.
