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.

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.

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.
