Explanation of Graphical Symbols:

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol,

within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert

the user to the presence of uninsulated

"dangerous voltage" within the product's

enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude

to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral

triangle is intended to alert the user to the

presence of impor tant operating and

maintenance (servicing) instructions in the

literature accompanying the appliance.

PRECAUTIONS

Read the Operating Instructions carefully and completely before

operating the unit. Be sure to keep the Operating Instructions for

future reference. All warnings and cautions in the Operating

Instructions and on the unit should be strictly followed, as well as

the safety suggestions below.

Installation

1 Water and moisture Do not use this unit near water, such

as near a bathtub, washbowl, swimming pool, or the like.

2 Heat Do not use this unit near sources of heat, including

heating vents, stoves, or other appliances that generate heat.

It also should not be placed in temperatures less than 5°C (41°F)

or greater than 35°C (95°F).

3 Mounting surface Place the unit on a flat, even surface.

4 Ventilation The unit should be situated with adequate space

around it so that proper heat ventilation is assured. Allow 10

cm (4 in.) clearance from the rear and the top of the unit, and 5

cm (2 in.) from the each side.

- Do not place the unit on a bed, rug, or similar surface that

may block the ventilation openings.

- Do not install the unit in a bookcase, cabinet, or airtight rack

where ventilation may be impeded.

5 Objects and liquid entry Take care that objects or liquids

do not get inside the unit through the ventilation openings.

6 Carts and stands When placed or

mounted on a stand or cart, the unit

should be moved with care.

Quick stops, excessive force, and

uneven surfaces may cause the unit or

cart to overturn or fall.

7 Condensation Moisture may form on the CD pickup lens

when:

- The unit is moved from a cold spot to a warm spot

- The heating system has just been turned on

- The unit is used in a very humid room

- The unit is cooled by an air conditioner

When this unit has condensation inside, it may not function

normally. Should this occur, leave the unit for a few hours,

then try to operate again.

8 Wall or ceiling mounting The unit should not be mounted

on a wall or ceiling, unless specified in the Operating

Instructions.

Electric Power

1 Power sources Connect this unit only to power sources

specified in the Operating Instructions, and as marked on the

unit.

2 Polarization As a safety feature, some units are equipped

with polarized AC power plugs which can only be inserted one

way into a power outlet. If it is difficult or impossible to insert

the AC power plug into an outlet, turn the plug over and try

again. If it still does not easily insert into the outlet, please call

a qualified service technician to service or replace the outlet.

To avoid defeating the safety feature of the polarized plug, do

not force it into a power outlet.

3 AC power cord

- When disconnecting the AC power cord, pull it out by the AC

power plug. Do not pull the cord itself.

- Never handle the AC power plug with wet hands, as this could

result in fire or shock.

- Power cords should be routed to avoid being severely bent,

pinched, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to the cord

from the unit to the power socket.

- Avoid overloading AC outlets and extension cords beyond

their capacity, as this could result in fire or shock.

4 Extension cord To help prevent electric shock, do not use a

polarized AC power plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or

other outlet unless the polarized plug can be completely

inserted to prevent exposure of the blades of the plug.

5 When not in use Unplug the AC power cord from the AC

outlet if the unit will not be used for several months or more.

When the cord is plugged in, a small amount of current

continues to flow to the unit, even when the power is turned off.

Outdoor Antenna

1 Power lines When connecting an outdoor antenna, make

sure it is located away from power lines.

2 Outdoor antenna grounding Be sure the antenna system

is properly grounded to provide protection against unexpected

voltage surges or static electricity build-up. Article 810 of the

National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information

on proper grounding of the mast, supporting structure, and the

lead-in wire to the antenna discharge unit, as well as the size

of the grounding unit, connection to grounding terminals, and

requirements for grounding terminals.

terminals.

2 Connect the supplied antennas.

Connect the FM antenna to the FM 75

terminals and the AM

loop antenna to the AM LOOP terminals.

PREPARATIONS

Operating Instructions, etc.

Before connecting the AC cord

The rated voltage of your unit shown on the rear panel is 120 V

AC. Check that the rated voltage matches your local voltage.

IMPORTANT

· Connect the speakers, antennas, and all optional equipment first.

Finally, connect the AC cord.

· There are no differences between the two speaker units. Both

speakers can be connected as L (Left) or R (Right).

3 Connect the AC cord to an AC outlet.

The demo display will begin when the AC cord is plugged into

an AC outlet for the first time after purchase. When the power

is turned on, the demo display will end. When the power is

turned off, the demo display will begin again.

Until the clock is set, the demo display will begin whenever the

power is turned off.

(For setting the clock, see page 26.)

When the clock is set for the first time after purchase

All the display lights turn off when the power is off. (Only the red

indicator on the POWER button lights up.)

This is because the power economizing mode of the unit is

activated, and is not a malfunction. To view the clock in this case,

press CLOCK while pressing SHIFT on the remote control so

that the time is displayed for 4 seconds. Besides, the time will be

displayed if you set the power economizing mode to "OFF." (See

page 7 for details.)

Activating the demo display after setting the clock

While the unit is turned off, press DEMO/ECO on the main unit. To

deactivate the demo display, press DEMO/ECO again.

To position the antennas

FM feeder antenna:

Extend this antenna horizontally in a T-shape and fix its ends to

the wall.

AM loop antenna:

Position for the best reception.

To stand the AM loop antenna on a surface

Fix the claw to the slot.

NOTE

· Be sure to connect the speaker cords correctly. Improper

connections can cause short circuits in the SPEAKERS

terminals.

· Do not leave objects generating magnetism near the speakers,

as these objects may be damaged.

· Do not bring the FM antenna near metal objects or curtain rails.

· Do not bring the AM loop antenna near other optional equipment,

the stereo system itself, the AC cord or speaker cords, since

noise will be picked up.

· Do not unwind the AM loop antenna wire.

· Do not cover the ventilation openings on the rear.

CONNECTING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA

For better FM reception, use of an outdoor antenna is

recommended.

Connect the outdoor antenna to the FM 75

terminals.
