IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION
CAUTION: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT.
1. READ AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS---All the safety and operation instructions should be read before the
product is operated. Follow all operation instructions.
2. RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS---The safety and operation instructions should be retained for future reference.
3. HEED WARNINGS---Comply with all warnings on the product and in the operation instructions.
4. CLEANING---Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol
cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
5. GROUNDING or POLARIZATION---This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug
(a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to
fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
6. OVERLOADING---Do not overload wall outlets or extension cord as this can result in a
risk of fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords,
damaged or cracked wire insulation, and broken plugs are dangerous. They may result in
a shock or fire hazard.
7. POWER SOURCES---This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the
marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local
Power Company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operation
instructions.
8. ACCESSORIES---Do not place this product on an unstable surface or shelf. The product may
fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult as well as serious damage to the product. Any
mounting of the product should follow the manufacturer’s instructions and use a mounting
accessory recommended by the manufacturer. A product and cart combination should be
moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the product and
cart combination to overturn.
9. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING--- If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be
sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. The example below is for reference only. Correct grounding should always be installed by an
electrician.

BEFORE USE
READ THIS BEFORE OPERATION
1. 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 vibration and
excessive dust, cold or moisture.
2. The ventilation holes should not be covered. Make
sure there is enough space above and beside the
amplifier/receiver (about 4 inches). Do not place a
CD player or other equipment on top of the
amplifier/receiver.
3. Do not open the cabinet as this might result in
damage to the circuitry or electrical shock. If a
foreign object gets into the set, contact your dealer or
authorized service center.
4. When removing the power plug from the wall outlet,
always pull directly on the plug, never on the cord.
5. Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical
solvents as this might damage the finish. Use a clean,
dry cloth.
6. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
Back-up Memory Function
This is the function that preserves the preset memory and
most-recent memory function. In the event of a power
failure, or if the power cord of this unit is disconnected
from the electric outlet, the back-up memory will
preserve the preset memory and most-recent memory
functions for as long as approximately 1 week.
If the power supply is interrupted for 7 days or longer, the
memory settings will be erased.
When to use RESET switch
1. When this system is subjected to an electrical shock.
2. When the power is interrupted.
In this case, try the following:
Switch on the POWER, use a paper clip to press the
RESET button for more than 3 seconds duration.
POWER ON/OFF
BEFORE CONNECTION
Caution
Turn off the power of all the equipment before making
connections.
Read instructions of each component you intend to
connect to this unit.
Be sure to insert each power plug securely. To
prevent hum and noise, do not bundle the
interconnection leads with power cord or speaker
leads.
Speaker Connections
Caution:
To avoid damaging the speakers with a sudden high-level
signal, be sure to switch the power off before connecting
the speakers.
Check the impedance of your speakers.
Connect speaker with an impedance of 8 ohms or
more. The amplifier’s red speaker terminals are the +
(positive) terminals and the black terminals are the –
(negative) terminals.
The + side of the speaker cable is marked to make it
distinguishable from the – side of the cable. Connect
this marked side to the red + terminals and the
unmarked side is the black terminal.
Prepare the speaker cords for connection by stripping
off approximately 10 mm or less (no more as this
could cause a short-circuit) of the outer insulation.
Twist the wires tightly together so that they are not
straggly.

FM INDOOR ANTENNA
If you live reasonably close to a transmitter and want to
use the provided lead-type FM antenna, you will have to
connect it direct to the “FM 75Ω” socket.
Fit the metal sleeve of the lead-type antenna over the core
(center) pin of the (FM 75Ω) socket, extend the lead and
attach it to a window frame or wall with thumbtacks, or
move around the room, where reception is best.
Lead-type FM Antenna (75Ω provided)
Crimp the jagged metal fixtures so they hold the braided
portion using pliers, etc. Put the cover back in place.

FM OUTDOOR ANTENNA
In an area where FM signals are weak, it will be
necessary to use a 75Ω unbalanced-type outdoor FM
antenna using the optional matching transformer, as
shown. 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. Connect the coaxial cable of the
antenna to the matching transformer as shown. After
completing connection, plug the transformer into the “FM
75Ω” socket.
How to connect a coaxial cable to the matching
transformer
Strip the cable and dress it as shown.

Press both side tabs outward to remove the cover.
②
Wrap the core conductor around the central metal fixture
as shown.
High performance AM loop antenna provided with the
receiver is sufficient for good reception in most areas.
Connect the loop antenna’s wires to the AM antenna
terminals as shown.
Place the antenna on a shelf, for example, and move
around to obtain the best reception, place as far away as
possible from the entire system, speaker leads and the
power cords, to prevent unwanted noise.

AM Outdoor Antenna
If the AM loop antenna provided does not receive
sufficient reception, it may be necessary to use an outdoor
AM antenna.
Use an insulated cable of a length of 15 ft (5m) 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.
Note: When connecting an outdoor AM antenna, do not
disconnect the AM loop antenna.
