SP3 PREAMP / PROCESSOR

phone jack.

Centre & Sub: This options puts the Centre channel

onto the L-AUX connector and the SUB

channel onto the R-AUX connector thus

facilitating the use of two sub-woofers

and/or two centre channel speakers.

See the illustration “Suggested Surround

Speaker Placement” on page 18

FUSES

There are two 5x20mm glass fuses located on the upper

deck power supply board as shown below. One fuse is for

the standby power supply and the other is for the main power

supply transformer. The values for these two fuses are as

follows:

120V models

220-230V models

Stand-by fuse (F2): F 500mA 250V

F 500mA 250V

Part numbers:

Littelfuse 217.500 Littelfuse 217.500

Main PSU fuse (F1): F 1.6A 250V

F 800mA 250V

Part numbers:

Littelfuse 217 01.6 Littelfuse 217.800

Before attempting to change fuses, disconnect all cables

from the SP3, especially the power cord. Then remove all

the screws from the top and left & right sides that hold the

top cover in place. Remove the top cover by sliding towards

the back of the unit and then lifting up. Be sure to replace all

screws when replacing the top cover using no more that 16

inch-pounds of torque.

When removing screws from top cover use only the proper

driver, a Torx #8, and do not use excessive force as it may

damage the screw head. If the screw does not move tap

lightly

with a hammer to loosen the threads. If this doesn’t

work, please refer the unit to qualified service personel.
