[Amps] 8877 hf amplifier

The way I read it for all of the THREE 240 to 220 voltages:
You have NO CONNECTION  C to D
You have NO CONNECTION  E to F
You have a CONNECTION D to E
Also for 240 you connect A to 1 and B to 2

I think you are treating the instructions for C to F as different from 220
to 240, but they are all the same for those voltages.
