NOTES ABOUT HUM:
While the MA1240a has been designed to minimize the possibility
of hum in the audio system, it is still possible that a hum will occur
in rare circumstances. Its safety grounding can create a path for
small amounts of 60 Hz energy to travel trough the line-level audio
system. While not dangerous, this energy can cause difficulty with
the auto signal sensing circuit, and at the very least will interfere
with the quiet enjoyment of your system. The first course of action
should be trying to make sure that all of the audio components are
connected to either the same electrical outlet, or at least into the
same circuit branch. Next, cable TV systems are notoriously the
culprit, so be sure to try disconnecting all coaxial feeds that are
connected to the system. If this solves the problem, install a coaxial
line isolator and reconnect the system. In the very worst case, a
line-level audio isolator/transformer connected to the line-in of the
amplifier will usually solve the problem.

Important Safety Instructions
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover. No user service-
able parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel. To reduce the risk
of fire and shock do not expose unit to rain or moisture. The unit should be
connected to an earth grounded AC electrical socket. The unit should be
operated in a well ventilated area. Minimum clearance is 2 inches from the
ventilation openings.
Note: Unit is set at the factory for 120V operation. Be sure to change the fuse
(4A rating) before switching to 230V operation.
