To prevent hum and noise, do not bundle the connection cords with the power cord or speaker cables. FM Indoor Antenna Connect the lead-type FM antenna to the FM 75 socket, extend the lead and tune the tuner to your favorite station. Adjust the antenna in a suitable location like a window frame or wall until the reception is best and then affix the antenna in that position using thumb tacks, push pins or any other suitable means. ENGLISH FM Outdoor Antenna In an area where FM signals are weak, it will be necessary to use an 75-ohm unbalanced-type outdoor FM antenna. Generally, a 3-element antenna will be sufficient; if you live in an area where the FM signals are particularly weak, it may be necessary to use one with 5 or more elements. < Disconnect the FM indoor antenna when using an outdoor antenna. Conventions about this manual < The types of functions and operations that can be used for a particular disc vary depending on the features of that disc. In some cases, these functions and operations may differ from the descriptions given in this Owner's Manual. In this event, follow the instructions given on the screen. This Owner's Manual only covers basic disc operations. < For some operations, the PROHIBIT icon "A" may appear on the screen. This indicates that the operation described in this Operations Manual is not permitted for the current disc. 5 Connection (AM antenna) AM Indoor Loop Antenna The high-performance AM loop antenna provided with this unit is sufficient for good reception in most areas. To stand the loop antenna on a surface, fix the claw to the slot in the antenna base. < If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver sufficient reception (often due to being too far from the transmitter or in a concrete building, etc.), it may be necessary to use an outdoor AM antenna. Use either a high quality commercial AM antenna or, if not available, an insulated wire more than 5 m long, strip one end, and connect this to the terminal as shown. The antenna wire should be strung outdoors or indoors near a window. For better reception, connect the GND terminal to a reliable ground. AM loop antenna outdoor AM antenna Connect the loop antenna's wires to the AM antenna terminals. Press the lever, insert the end of the cord, then release the lever. Make sure it is fastened securely by pulling the cord lightly. Make sure only the bare, stripped wire is inserted in the jack and that no plastic insulation is preventing contact between the antenna wire and terminal. Place the antenna on a shelf or hang it on a window frame, etc., in the direction which gives the best reception. Keep all other wires such as power cords, speaker wires or interconnect wires as far away as possible from the antenna. Note: Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do not disconnect the AM loop antenna. 6 Speaker Connection ENGLISH SUBWOOFER Caution: To avoid damaging the speakers with a sudden high-level signal, be sure to switch the power off before connecting the speakers. Check the impedance of your speakers. Connect speaker with an impedance of 4 ohms or more. The black speaker terminals are ­ (negative). Generally, the + side of the speaker cable is marked to make it distinguishable from the ­ side of the cable. Connect this marked side to the + terminal and the unmarked side to the black ­ terminal. Prepare the speaker cables for connection by stripping off approximately 10 mm or less of the outer insulation. (Removing too much insulation may lead to a short circuit if the bared wired should come in contact with each other.) Twist the strands of the stripped wires tightly together: Caution: The metal portions of the two separate wires should not touch or an electrical short can occur. Shorted wires can create a fire hazard or induce a failure in your equipment. How to connect speakers: 1. Turn the terminal cap counterclockwise to loosen it. The speaker terminal caps cannot be fully removed from the base. 2. Insert the wire into the terminal fully and turn the terminal cap clockwise to securely connect it: Make sure none of the wire insulation is under the terminal, only the bare, stripped wire. 3. Make sure it is fastened firmly by pulling the cable lightly. Subwoofer Connect a subwoofer using a commercially-available RCA cable. Use a subwoofer with built-in amplifier referred to as a "powered subwoofer". 7 Connection to a TV CAUTION: < Switch off the power to all equipment before making connections. < Read the instructions of each component you intend to use with this unit. < Be sure to insert each plug securely.
