Connecting the RX38Ur to Passive Loudspeakers
AC Power Cord Connection
To connect the power cord to your RX38Ur simply plug female side of the power cord into the power
cord input which is on the rear of the RX38Ur. Then plug the male side of the power cord to an
electric outlet.The AC power cords supplied purposefully have 2 blades and one grounding prong. If
your outlet is not equipped to handle this type of plug,do not attempt to forcefully plug this AC power
cord into the outlet, and do not alter the plug so that it can fit in the outlet. The only course of action
you can take is to find another outlet which is properly equipped to handler a grounded plug or have
an electrician upgrade your electrical outlet. Be sure that the plug is well connected so that it does
not disconnect in the middle of usage. If at any point in time the supplied AC power cord is punctured
or damaged replace it with a new power cord from a local electrician.
NOTE: ONLY PLUG IN THE AC POWER CORD WHILE THE UNIT’S POWER IS OFF AND THE
VOLUME IS TURNED DOWN. TURNING ON THE UNIT WITH THE VOLUME TURNED UP MAY
CAUSE THE UNIT OR ANY SPEAKERS CONNECTED TO IT TO BE DAMAGED. ALWAYS TURN
DOWN THE VOLUME PRIOR TO TURNING OFF THE UNIT.
