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 heat sources, including
heating vents, stov es, or other appliances that generate heat.
It also should not be placed in temperatures less than 5°C
(41°F) or higher 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 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 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 is not still inserted easily into the outlet,
please call a qualified service technician to service or replace
the outlet. To avoid def eating the safety f eature 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 firmly secured to av oid 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 b lades of the
plug.
5 When not in use — Unplug the AC power cord from the AC
power 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/NFP A70, provides inf ormation
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 themselves.

PREPARATIONS
CONNECTIONS
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 other external
equipment first. Then connect the AC cord at the end.
*1Be sure to connect the VIDEO OUT terminal of a DVD player
directly to a TV set, not through this unit. Otherwise, the picture
noise may appear when playing copy protected DVDs.
*2When connecting a monaural video, use a stereo-mono
connecting cord (not supplied).
DVD or Video 1* /MD player

CONNECTING EQUIPMENT
Jacks and plugs of the connecting cord are color-coded as
follows:
Red jacks and plugs : For the right channel of audio signals
White jacks and plugs: For the left channel of audio signals
Yellow jacks and plugs: For video signals
NOTE
Insert the plugs fully into the jacks. Loose connections may
produce a humming sound or other noise interference.

PREPARATIONS
Speaker terminals
Connect front speakers (system A and/or B) and sub woofer to
the corresponding speaker terminals on the unit:
- the front speaker cords to the SPEAKERS terminals
- for more powerful bass, the sub woof er (with a built-in amplifier)
cord to the SUB WOOFER 3 jack
Speaker impedance
For all speakers, use speakers of 8 ohms or more.
Connecting + to +, – to – terminals
T o get the proper sound eff ect, the speak er terminals on the unit
and the speaker should be connected with proper polarity; the +
terminal on the unit should be connected to the + terminal on
the speaker (and – to –).
NOTE
• The sub woofer sound will be output only when the speaker
system A (the front speakers connected to the SPEAKERS A
terminals) is selected.
• Be sure to connect the speaker cords correctly as shown in
the illustration on the right column. Improper connections can
cause short circuits in the SPEAKERS terminals.
• Do not leave objects generating magnetism near the speak ers.
Lift up the terminal flap, insert the speaker cord lead
into the terminal slot, then close the flap. Chec k that
the cord is connected securely.

CONNECTING THE SUPPLIED ANTENNAS 2
ABOUT THE REMOTE CONTROL
Connect the FM antenna to the FM 75 Ω terminals and the AM
antenna to the AM LOOP terminals.
FM antenna
AM antenna
To stand the AM loop antenna on a surface
Fix the claw to the slot as shown in the illustration.
Inserting batteries
Detach the battery cover on the rear of the remote control and
insert two R6 (size AA) batteries.
When to replace the batteries
The maximum operational distance between the remote control
and the sensor on the unit should be approximately 5 meters
(16 feet). When this distance decreases, replace the batteries
with new ones.
Using the remote control
The instructions in this manual refer mainly to the buttons on the
main unit.
Some buttons have two functions.
• To use the function indicated on the button, or on the plate in
black, simply press the button.
• To use the function indicated on the plate in green, press the
button while pressing the SHIFT button.
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.
NOTE
• Do not bring the FM antenna near metal objects or curtain rails.
• Do not bring the AM antenna near other external equipment,
the unit itself, the AC power cord or speaker cords, as noise
will be picked up.
• Do not unwind the AM loop antenna wire.
CONNECTING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA
For better FM reception, use of an outdoor antenna is
recommended. Connect the outdoor antenna to the FM 75 Ω
terminals.
Important
• The ENTER button on the remote control does not
substitute for the ENTER button on the main unit. This
button is for operating the DVD player only (see the next
page.)
• In principal, the TUNING UP and DOWN buttons on the
remote control substitute for N (TUNING UP) and M
(TUNING DOWN) buttons on the main unit.
To select the function (audio source) with the remote
control
Press the FUNCTION button repeatedly. The function changes
cyclically.
NOTE
• If the unit is not going to be used for an extended period of
time, remove the batteries to prevent possible electrolyte
leakage.
• The remote control may not operate correctly when:
- The line of sight between the remote control and the remote
sensor in the display window is exposed to intense light, such
as direct sunlight.
- Other remote controls are used nearby (those of a television,
etc.)
