Precautions—Continued
1. Recording Copyright—Unless it’s for personal use only,
recording copyrighted material is illegal without the permission
of the copyright holder.
2. AC Fuse—The AC fuse inside the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E is
not user-serviceable. If you cannot turn on the TX-SR501/
TX-SR501E, contact your Onkyo dealer.
3. Care—Occasionally you should dust the TX-SR501/
TX-SR501E all over with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use
a soft cloth dampened with a weak solution of mild detergent
and water. Dry the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E immediately after-
wards with a clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive cloths, thinners,
alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because they may damage
the finish or remove the panel lettering.
4. Power
WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME,
READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.
AC outlet voltages vary from country to country. Make sure that the
voltage in your area meets the voltage requirements printed on the
TX-SR501/TX-SR501E’s rear panel (e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC
120 V, 60 Hz).
The Worldwide model has a voltage selector for compatibility with
power systems around the world. Before you plug in this model,
make sure that the voltage selector is set to the correct voltage for
your area.
For North American model
Setting the [STANDBY/ON] switch to STANDBY does not fully
shutdown the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E. If you do not intend to use
the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E for an extended period, remove the
power cord from the AC outlet.
Memory backup
The TX-SR501/TX-SR501E uses a battery-less memory backup
system in order to retain radio presets and other settings when it’s
unplugged or in the case of a power failure. Although no batteries
are required, the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E must be plugged into an
AC outlet in order to charge the backup system.
(On non-North American models, the TX-SR501/
TX-SR501E’s POWER switch must be set to ON in order to
charge the backup system.) Once it has been charged, the
TX-SR501/TX-SR501E will retain the settings for several
weeks, although this depends on the environment and will be
shorter in humid climates.
Supplied Accessories
Make sure you have the following accessories:
* In catalogs and on packaging, the letter added to the end of the product name indicates the color of the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E. Specifications and operation
