two AA batteries located in the bottom of the unit; used to power clock and radio presets] and turn ‘ON’
the power knob momentarily to discharge any stored energy.

BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING —

output from Transformer Assembly leads, #14 - Red and #15 – Black of the
Speaker PCB Assembly connections, see Wiring Instructions 58-01-0162

o plug a new LCD Assembly 22-09-1575 into the Speaker PCB Assembly board

each of the four screws illustrated.
