MAINTENANCE CONCERNING TRANSISTORS Transistors differ fundamentally from radio vacuum tubes and require special attention to ensure their full performance capabilities. Given proper care, transistors will provide years of practically trouble-free performance. (a) Avoid locations subject to direct sunlight. (b) Avoid high or low temperature extremes. (c) Keep the tuner away from heat radiating sources. GROUND Although broadcasts can be received without a ground connection, it is recommended that a good ground connection be made to a buried grounding rod or water pipe to reduce interference and ensure safety. Never use a gas pipe for a ground connection, however. NOTES 1. Units shipped to the U.S.A. and CANADA are designed to be operated with 120 volts AC only. Units shipped to the Scandinavian countries are designed to be operated with 220 volts AC only. Units shipped to the U.K. are designed to be operated with 240 volts AC only. Therefore the above units are not equipped with an AC Voltage Selector Switch so all reference to such a switch throughout this manual should be disregarded. 2. Units shipped to all other countries are equipped with an AC Voltage Selector Switch on the rear panel that is preset at the factory to the voltage generally available in the destina* tion area. It is very important, however, to check the Voltage Selector Switch setting and make sure that it corresponds to your line voltage before connection the power cord into an AC outlet. If the Voltage Selector Switch requires re-set-ting, follow the directions outlined on page 5.

The level of these terminals is controlled by the Output Level knob on the front panel. FIXED These jacks connect to the tape deck Line Input terminals. The signal level from the output terminals cannot be controlled from the KT-8300; this must be done with the tape deck input level controls. DIMMER SWITCH The Dial illumination can be dimmed if desired by setting this ON-OFF switch to ON. DET. OUT (DETECT OUT) The FM detector circuit output is made available here so that this tuner will be ready for 4-channel broadcasting developments in the future. When FM discrete 4-channel broadcasting becomes a reality, a simple demodulator connected here will enable you to fully enjoy this coming development. FM DE-EMPHASIS SWITCH AC VOLTAGE SELECTION Selects 75/iS (50ms) or 25/iS FM DE-EMPHASIS for accurate reception of Dolbyized FM signals. Normally, this switch should be left in the 75/iS (50/is) position. However, if the station is broadcasting the Dolbyized signal using a 25/iS pre-emphasis, put this switch in the "25/is" position to obtain flat FM frequency response. If in doubt, call the stati...
