| − | == Remarks ==
| |
| − | * The machine was not sold in Europe and is therefore only designed for a mains voltage of 110V/125V 50/60Hz, i.e. it cannot be switched to 220V/240V. However, it can be operated without problems on 220V/240V mains via an external transformer (so-called step-down converter). The only important thing about such a converter is that it can handle the power consumption of the machine.
| |
| − | The machine is not suitable for EE-Band!
| |
| − | Spare parts and accessories are no longer available from Panasonic or Technics.
