Thank you for choosing TEAC. Read
this manual carefully to get the best
performance from this unit.
Before Use
Read this before operation
<
As the unit may become warm during
operation, always leave sufficient
space around the unit for ventilation.
<
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
cloth.
<
Keep this manual in a safe place for
future reference.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE
COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-
SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER
SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSONNEL.
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
important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.
1) Read these instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings.
4) Follow all instructions.
5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
6) Clean only with dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings.

manufacturer's instructions.
8) Do not install near any heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other apparatus (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the polarized or grounding-type plug.
A polarized plug has two blades with
one wider than the other. A
grounding type plug has two blades
and a third grounding prong. The
wide blade or the third prong are
provided for your safety. If the
provided plug does not fit into your
outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10) Protect the power cord from being
walked on or pinched particularly at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and
the point where they exit from the
apparatus.
11) Only use attachments/accessories
specified by the manufacturer.

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. To prevent hum and
noise, avoid bundling the signal interconnection cables
together with the AC power cord or speaker cables.
Connection
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.
Make sure to connect:
white wire q right terminal
black wire q left terminal (GND)
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.
B
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 6). 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.

RESET
In the following cases, function buttons may not work
properly.
· When the system is damaged by some electrical shock.
· When the power is irregular or has electrical noises.
In these cases, press the RESET switch once or twice with a
pencil or a ball-point pen lightly.
All the settings kept in memory (such as preset stations and
timer settings) will be erased.
AC Power Cord
After all other connections are complete, connect the plug
to the AC wall socket.
Be sure to connect the power cord to an AC outlet which
supplies the correct voltage.
Hold the power plug when plugging or unplugging the
power cord.
F
E
Note:
Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do not
disconnect the AM loop antenna.
LINE OUT jack
Analog 2-channel audio signal is output from this jack.
Connect this jack to the TUNER jack of the amplifier (A-
H300mkIII) with an RCA cable.
Make sure to connect:
white plug q white jack (L: left channel)
red plug q red jack (R: right channel)
REMOTE CONTROL jack
If you have TEAC A-H300mkIII, convenient system control
operations are available:
· When you tune in a station, the input selector of the A-
H300mkIII is set to "TUNER" automatically.
· You can use the system remote control unit RC-957 or RC-
1091 (provided with A-H300mkIII) to operate this unit.
Connect the REMOTE CONTROL jack to the REMOTE
CONTROL jack (A or B) of A-H300mkIII or PD-H300mkIII
with the provided remote control connection cord.
Read the owner's manual of A-H300mkIII for details.
Note:
The remote control unit is not provided with this unit.
D
C
<
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.
Memory Backup
If the power supply is interrupted for 14 days or longer, all
the settings kept in memory (such as preset stations and
timer settings) will be erased.
It will take more than 3 days after plugging the power cord
into the outlet to charge enough electricity for the memory
backup function.
If you want to manually initialize the settings, press the
RESET switch.
All the settings will be reset to the default settings.
