!

The AMC model X7i was designed to meet professional quality performance
standard and to provide superior value.
Selected grade components are utilized throughout the circuit design with
special emphasis on components within the audio path to assure stable,
consistent performance.
Advanced power supply design incorporates separate windings for the
digital, analog and servo circuits to prevent interference and preserve sonic
performance.
EIA calibrated audio outputs ensure proper match with preamplifiers and
receivers.
System remote control handset (RC-S2) control both X7i andAMC CD
Player XCDi.
Switched AC outlet

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are de­signed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a resi­dential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruc­tions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television recep­tion, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Caution : Any changes or modifications in construction of this device
which are not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Connect FM in door antenna wire.
Align FM indoor antenna position to
have the best reception of FM
stations. FM outdoor antenna can
improve the reception further.

Connect AM loop antenna and place
antenna as far as possible from the
receiver then align the direction of
loop antenna to have the best
reception.

The separate turnable ground lead
should be connected firmy to this
GROUND terminal to minimize the
hum level.

This input is designed for moving
magnet (MM) cartridge.
To minimize hum the turntable leads
should be kept away from the mains
wiring.
Note: A Phono MC amplifier will be
required for the turntable with MC
cartridge.

The CD input is suitable for use with
any CD player. Connect your CD
player to the sockets marked"CD".

This input is suitable for use with most
cassette or video recorders.
Connect the "record" leads of your
tape recorder to "TAPE OUT" on the
X7i rear panel.
Connect the "playback" leads of your
tape recorder to "TAPE IN" on X7i rear
panel.

The AUX (auxiliary) input can be used
for any source with line output level.
The shorting U-link must be plugged

off for using the AUX input.
A shorting U-link is plugged in AUX
and "To iPod CONNECTOR ON
FRONT PANEL" inputs for using iPod
INPUT jack on front panel.

This input is connected to "iPod
INPUT" on front panel. A shorting U­link must be plugged in AUX and "To
iPod CONNECTOR ON FRONT
PANEL" inputs for using iPod INPUT
jack on front panel.

The SWITCHED AC OUTLET supply
AC mains at maximum power 120W
(1A 120V) to other equipment such as
AMC XCDi when X7i is switched on.
Don't connect any power consumption
over 120W equipment to SWITCHED
AC OUTLET to prevent any dangerous
may cause by over power.

The UNSWITCHED AC OUTLET
supply AC mains to other equipment
such as AMC XCDi when X7i is
connected to wall AC outlet.

The X7i is equipped with 2 pairs of
pluggable Terminal Blocks allow quick
connections of the internal amplifiers
to two stereo pairs of speakers. They
accept wire sizes for
14 to 28AWG. Be sure to connect
speaker wires firmly and correctly
according to the channel (left and
right) and the polarity (+ and -).

Do not short-circuit the + and - speaker
wires which may damage the internal
power amplifier.
SPEAKER IMPEDANCE:8ohmone
pair
SPEAKER IMPEDANCE : 16 ohm two
pairs

The maximum power is 120W (1A 120V
60Hz unit) and 115W (0.5A 230V 50Hz
unit).
Don't connect any power consumption
over specified power equipment to
UNSWITCHED AC OUTLET to prevent
any dangerous may cause by over
power.

The AC RECEPTACLE is for you to
plug in with power cord attached in the
packing.

(APPLIES TO TUNER AND RECEIVERS ONLY)

An outdoor antennashould be located away frompower lines.

(APPLIES TO TUNER AND RECEIVERS ONLY)

If an outsideantenna is connected to thereceiver, besure the
antenna system isgrounded so as to providesome protection
against voltage surgesand built up static charges.
Section 810 ofthe National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPANo.
70-1984, provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of
the lead-in wireto an antenna discharge unit,size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode. See Figure.
a) Use No. 10 AWG (5.3 mm ) copper, No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm )

aluminum, No. 17 AWG (1.0 mm ) copper-clad steel or
bronze wire, orlarger, asa ground wire.

b) Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with

stand-off insulators spaced from 4-6 feet (1.22-1.83 m)
apart.

c) Mount antennadischarge unit as close aspossible to where

lead-in enters house.

d) Use jumper wire not smaller than No.6 AWG (13.3 mm )

copper, or the equivalent, when a separate antenna­grounding electrode isused. See NEC Section 810-21(j).
