Getting Started About the AC power cord The supplied AC power cord has a 3-pronged grounded plug. If you are using 3-pronged grounded mains, the plug can be inserted directly into the mains. However, if the socket is a 2pronged grounded mains, use the supplied plug adapter or a commercially available plug adapter. 3-pronged grounded mains 2-pronged polarized mains • When the width of the mains are a different size Use the supplied plug adapter. 3 to 2-prong polarized plug adapter N pole • When the width of the mains are the same size Use a commercially available plug adapter. In this case, you can check the polarity of the mains with a commercially available spark-testing screwdriver. It is the pronged ground that does not light the neon grow lamp even if you insert the spark-testing screwdriver into the mains. Insert the blades so that the "N pole" can be inserted to the ground on the plug. If noise (hum) is produced Noise may be caused by an electric potential difference on the ground circuit.* In this case, use the supplied plug adapter and be careful not to connect the ground lead to anything. * Although the ground of the domestic mains is normally a safety ground, a few electrical potential differences may be produced, depending on the mains. Therefore, use of the supplied 3-pronged mains lead may lessen the quality of the audio signal or may produce humming noise.
