System Connections

=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. =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.
