CAUTION
Ensure this product is not exposed to dripping or splashing
and that no object filled with liquids, such as vases, is placed
on the product.
Do not install this equipment in a confined space such as a
book case or similar unit. Allow adequate air circulation
around this product.
Read this before operation
<
As the unit may become warm during operation, always leave
sufficient space around the unit for ventilation.
The ventilation holes should not be covered. Make sure there
is at least 50 cm (18 inches) of space above and at least 10
cm (4 inches) of space on each side of the unit. Do NOT place
anything on top of the unit.
<
The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage as
printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding
this matter, consult an electrician.
<
Choose the installation location of your unit carefully. Avoid
placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat. Also
avoid locations subject to vibrations and excessive dust, heat,
cold or moisture.
<
Do not place the unit on the amplifier/receiver.
<
Do not open the cabinet as this might result in damage to the
circuitry or electrical shock. If a foreign object should get into
the unit, contact your dealer or service company.
<
When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always
pull directly on the plug, never yank the cord.
<
Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents as
this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry or slightly
damp cloth.
<
Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

Connecting Antennas
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
(see page 13). 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.
FM Outdoor Antenna
In an area where FM signals are weak, it will be necessary to
use an 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.
Remote Control Unit
The receiver and some other TEAC components which have
mark on the front panel can be operated by the provided "UR"
remote control unit.
When operating the remote control unit, point it towards the
REMOTE SENSOR on the front panel of the receiver (or other
TEAC component).
<
Even if the remote control unit is operated within the effective
range, remote control operation may be impossible if there
are any obstacles between the unit and the remote control.
<
If the remote control unit is operated near other appliances
which generate infrared rays, or if other remote control
devices using infrared rays are used near the unit, it may
operate incorrectly. Conversely, the other appliances may
operate incorrectly.
Battery Installation
1. Remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert two "AA" (R6 or SUM-3) dry batteries. Make sure that
the batteries are inserted with their positive "+" and negative
"_" poles positioned correctly.
3. Close the cover.
Battery Replacement
If the distance required between the remote control unit and
main unit decreases, the batteries are exhausted. In this case
replace the batteries with new ones.
Precautions concerning batteries
<
Be sure to insert the batteries with correct positive "+" and
negative "_" polarities.
<
Use batteries of the same type. Never use different types of
batteries together.
<
Rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries can be used.
Refer to the precautions on their labels.
<
When the remote control unit is not to be used for a long
time (more than a month), remove the batteries from the
remote control unit to prevent them from leaking. If they leak,
wipe away the liquid inside the battery compartment and
replace the batteries with new ones.
<
Do not heat or disassemble batteries and never dispose of old
batteries by throwing them in a fire.

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.
Connect the loop antenna's wires to the AM antenna
terminals.
How to connect:
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.
AM Outdoor Antenna
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 (15 feet) 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.
Note:
Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do not disconnect
the AM loop antenna.
AM Outdoor Antenna
AM Loop Antenna:
Connect the black wire
to the left jack (GND)
and the white wire to
the right jack.
