PRECAUTIONS
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.
The ventilation holes should not be covered. Make
sure there is at least 50 cm (20 inches) of space
above and at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space beside
the amplifier/receiver. Do not place a CD player or
other equipment on top of 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 set, contact your
dealer.
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 cloth.
Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

IMPORTANT (for U.K. Customers)
DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment.
If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points
in your home or the cable is too short to reach a
power point, then obtain an appropriate safety
approved extension lead or consult your dealer.
If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off, remove the
fuse and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a
possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to
the mains supply.
If this product is not provided with a mains plug, or
one has to be fitted, then follow the instructions
given below:
IMPORTANT. DO NOT make any connection to the
larger terminal which is marked with the letter E or
by the safety earth symbol
ç or coloured GREEN or
GREEN-and-YELLOW.
The wires in the mains lead on this product are
coloured in accordance with the following code:
BLUE:
NEUTRAL
BROWN:
LIVE
As these colours may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying the terminals in
your plug proceed as follows:
The
wire
which
is
coloured
BLUE
must
be
connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter N or coloured BLACK.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be
connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter L or coloured RED.
When replacing the fuse only a correctly rated
approved type should be used and be sure to re-fit
the fuse cover.

How to connect a coaxial cable to the matching
transformer
1 Strip the cable and dress it as shown.
2 Press both side tabs outward to remove the
cover.
3 Wrap the core conductor around the central
metal fixture as shown. Crimp the jagged
metal fixtures so they hold the braided portion
using pliers, etc. Put the cover back in place.
FM Outdoor Antenna
In an area where FM signals are weak, it will be
necessary to use a 75-ohm unbalanced-type outdoor FM
antenna using the optional matching transformer, as
shown. 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.
Connect the coaxial cable of the antenna to the
matching transformer as shown. After completing
connection, plug the transformer into the "FM 75"
socket.

Matching Transformer
(optional)
FM Indoor Antenna
If you live reasonably close to a transmitter and want
to use the provided lead-type FM antenna, you will
have to connect it direct to the "FM 75" socket.
Fit the metal sleeve of the lead-type antenna over the
core (center) conductor of the "FM 75" socket, extend
the lead and fix it to a window frame or wall with
thumbtacks, or the like, where reception is best.

AM (MW) Antenna
Connecting Speaker Systems
AM Indoor Loop Antenna
A high-performance AM loop antenna provided with the
receiver is sufficient for good reception in most areas.
Connect the loop antenna's wires to the AM antenna
terminals as shown. Place the antenna on a shelf, for
example, or hang it on a window frame, etc., in the
direction which gives the best reception, as far away as
possible from the entire system, speaker cords and the
power cord, to prevent unwanted noise.
AM Outdoor Antenna
If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver
sufficient reception (because you are too far from the
transmitter or in a concrete building, etc.), it may be
necessary to use an outdoor AM antenna. Use an
insulated wire more than 15 ft (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.
Note:
Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do not
disconnect the AM loop antenna.
Caution:
To avoid damaging the speakers by inputting a
sudden high-level signal, be sure to switch the power
off before connecting the speakers.

Antenna
Connecting the AC Power
Be sure to connect the power cord to an AC outlet which
supplies the correct voltage.
How to connect the speaker cords
Press the lever, insert the stripped and twisted
end (approx. 10 mm) of the cord, then release
the lever so that the cord is held securely.
AC OUTLET
SWITCHED:
This socket switches on and off as you turn on and off
the receiver.
Caution:
The total power consumption of the components
connected to the AC OUTLET must not exceed 100W.
Connect the cable from each speaker to the
corresponding terminal on the rear of the receiver.
Most speaker cables have different markings, textures
or colors to help you tell the difference between
negative and positive.
Be sure to connect the positive (+) terminal on each
speaker to the positive (+) terminal on the receiver.
Similarly, connect the negative (­) terminal on the
speaker to negative (­) terminal on the receiver.
Notes:
Use speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms
or more.
When attaching speakers, be sure to connect them to
both channels (L and R).
If speakers are connected to only A or B, no sound
will be heard from them if both SPEAKERS "A" and
"B" are selected.
