Setting the voltage selector 

(Worldwide model only)

Models without a voltage selector can only be used in areas where the power supply is the same as that of the cassette deck.

1. Determine the proper voltage for your

area: 220-230 V or 120 V.

2. If the preset voltage does not conform

to your area, insert a screwdriver into
the groove in the switch. Slide the
switch all the way to the right (120 V)
or to the left (220-230 V), whichever is
appropriate.
