CAUTION: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT.

1.This unit is a sophisticated stereo tuner. To assure proper operation and the best possible performance, please read this manual carefully.

2.Choose the installation location for the unit carefully. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat. Also avoid locations subject to vibration and excessive dust, heat, cold or moisture. Keep it away from such sources of hum as transformers or motors.

3.Do not open the cabinet, because this may result in damage to the unit or electrical shock. If a foreign object should get into the unit, contact your local dealer.

4.When not planning to use this unit for long periods of time (ie., vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet.

5.To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power plug and disconnect the antenna cable when there is an electrical storm.

6.When disconnecting the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull directly on the plug; never pull the cord itself.

7.Do not use force when operating switches and other controls.

8.When moving the unit, be sure to first disconnect the power plug and disconnect all wires connected from the unit to other equipment.

9.Do not attempt to clean this unit with chemical solvents, because this may damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

10.Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section of this manual for advice on common operating errors before concluding that the unit is faulty.

11.Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

This unit is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if this unit itself is turned off. This state is called the standby mode. In this state, this unit is designed to consume a very small quantity of power.

IMPORTANT

Please record the serial number of this unit in the space below.

Model:

Serial No.:

The serial number is located on the rear of the unit. Retain this Owner’s Manual in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

For U.K. customers

If the socket outlets in the home are not suitable for the plug supplied with this appliance, it should be cut off and an appropriate 3 pin plug fitted. For details, refer to the instructions described below.

Note: The plug severed from the mains lead must be destroyed, as a plug with bared flexible cord is hazardous if engaged in a live socket outlet.

Special Instructions for U.K. Model

IMPORTANT

THE WIRES IN MAINS LEAD ARE COLOURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE:

Blue: NEUTRAL

Brown: LIVE

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus 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. Making sure that neither core is connected to the earth terminal of the three pin plug.

CONNECTIONS

Never plug in this unit and other components until all connections are completed.

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS

●Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following figure.

●Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.

Orient so that the best reception is obtained.

*If you connect an outdoor FM antenna to this unit, do not connect the indoor FM antenna to this unit.

*The AM loop antenna should be placed apart from the main unit. The antenna may be hung on a wall.

*The AM loop antenna should be kept connected, even if an outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.

m Optional outdoor FM antenna

Consult with your dealer or authorized service center about the best method of selecting and erecting an outdoor FM antenna. The choice of the feeder cable is also important. Flat ribbonshaped twin-lead cable performs well electrically, and is cheaper and somewhat easier to handle when routing it through windows and around rooms. Coaxial cable is more expensive, does a much better job of minimizing interference, is less prone to the effects of weather and close-by metal objects, and is nearly as good a signal conductor as feeder cable, particularly for foam-type coaxial cables. Coaxial cable is somewhat more difficult to install at the point where the cable enters the building. If coaxial cable is selected, make sure the antenna is designed to be used with that type of cable.

*Use a 75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter (not included) or a 75-ohm antenna adapter (not included) for connections.

Notes for FM antenna installation

●To minimize automobile ignition noise, locate the antenna as far from heavy traffic as possible.

●Keep the feeder cable or coaxial cable as short as possible. Do not bundle or roll up excess cable.

●The antenna should be at least two meters (6.6 feet) from reinforced concrete walls or metal structures.

m Optional outdoor AM antenna

In steel buildings or at a great distance from the transmitter, it may be necessary to install an outside long wire antenna.

GND terminal

For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect the GND terminal to a good earth ground. A good earth ground is a metal stake driven into moist earth.

Notes

●There should be no large obstacles between the remote control transmitter and the main unit.

●If the remote control sensor is directly illuminated by strong lighting (especially an inverter type of fluorescent lamp etc.), it might cause the remote control transmitter not to work correctly. In this case, reposition the main unit to avoid direct lighting.
