Introduction
Congratulations on Your Purchase!
Your new high fidelity receiver is designed to deliver
maximum enjoyment and years of trouble free service.
Please take a few moments to read this manual
thoroughly. It will explain the features and operation of
your unit and help ensure a trouble free installation.
Please unpack your unit carefully. We recommend that
you save the carton and packing material. They will be
helpful if you ever need to move your unit and may be
required if you ever need to return it for service. Your unit
is designed to be placed in a horizontal position and it is
important to allow at least two inches of space behind
your unit for adequate ventilation and cabling
convenience.
To avoid damage, never place the unit near radiators, in
front of heating vents, in direct sunlight, or in excessively
humid or dusty locations. Connect your complementary
components as illustrated in the following section.

FOR EUROPE AND AUSTRALIA ............230 V/240 V
Units shipped to Australia are designed for operation
on 240 V AC only.
To ensure safe operation, the three-pin plug
supplied must be inserted only into a standard three-
pin power point which is effectively earthed through
the normal household wiring. Extension cords used
with the equipment must be three-core and be
correctly wired to provide connection to earth.
Improper extension cords are a major cause of
fatalities. The fact that the equipment operates
satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is
earthed and that the installation is completely safe.
For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective
earthing of the power point, consult a qualified
electrician.

Do not connect the receiver to the wall AC outlet when plugging and unplugging connection cords.
Be sure to connect the white RCA pin cords to the L (left) and the red RCA pin cords to the R (right) jacks when making
connections.
Change the position of the FM indoor antenna until you get the best reception of your favorite FM stations.
A 75 outdoor FM antenna may be used to further improve the reception.
Disconnect the indoor antenna before replacing it with the outdoor one.
Place the AM loop antenna as far as possible from the receiver, TV set, speaker cords and the AC input cord and set it to a
direction for the best reception.
If the reception is poor with the AM loop antenna, an AM outdoor antenna can be used in place of the AM loop antenna.
Caution: When listening to AM broadcasts in a surround mode without an AM antenna, digital noise can be heard.
Should this happen, connect an AM antenna.
Make connections firmly and correctly. If not, it can cause loss of sound, noise or damage to the receiver.
If the electricity fails or the AC input cord is left unplugged for about 2 weeks, the memorized contents will be cleared.
Should this happen, memorize them again.
