Caution: Proper Ventilation
To avoid risk of electric shock and fire, and to prevent damage, locate the apparatus as follows:
1. Front: No obstructions and open spacing.
2. Sides/ Top/ Back: No obstructions should be placed in the areas shown by the dimensions below.
3. Bottom: Place on the level surface. Maintain an adequate air path for ventilation by placing on a stand with a height of 10 cm
or more.
Attention: Aération correcte
Pour prévenir tout risque de décharge électrique ou d’incendie et éviter toute détérioration, installez l’appareil de la manière
suivante:
1. Avant: Bien dégagé de tout objet.
2. Côtés/dessus/dessous: Assurez-vous que rien ne bloque les espaces indiqués sur le schéma ci-dessous.
3. Dessous: Posez l’appareil sur une surface plane et horizontale. Veillez à ce que sa ventilation correcte puisse se faire en le
plaçant sur un support d’au moins dix centimètres de hauteur.

About the cooling fan
A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel of the unit to prevent abnormal temperature inside the unit, thus assuring normal
operation of the unit. The cooling fan automatically starts rotating to intake external cool air when the volume is increased
up to more than a certain level.

À propos du ventilateur de refroidissement
Un ventilateur de refroidissement se trouve sur le panneau arrière de l’appareil afin d’éviter la création d’une température
anormale à l’intérieur de l’appareil et permettre ainsi un fonctionnement normal de l’appareil. Le ventilateur de
refroidissement commence à tourner et à aspirer de l’air frais automatiquement quand le volume est augmenté au-dessus
d’un certain niveau.

Precautions
Installation
• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor
too cold—between 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F).
• Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to
prevent internal heat buildup inside the System.
DO NOT install the System in a location near
heat sources, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.
• Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV.
• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference
with TV.
Power sources
• When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always
pull on the plug, not the AC power cord.
DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet
hands.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lenses inside the System in
the following cases:
• After starting to heat the room
• In a damp room
• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm
place
Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case,
leave the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture
evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again.
Internal heat
•A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel to prevent heat
buildup inside the main unit (see page G-2).
For safety, observe the following carefully:
• Make sure there is good ventilation around
the main unit. Poor ventilation could
overheat and damage the System.
• DO NOT block the cooling fan and the
ventilation openings or holes. If they are
blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the
heat may not be able to get out.
• If you are not going to operate the System for an extended
period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and
consult your dealer.
How to Read This Manual
To make this manual as simple and easy-to-understand as
possible, we have adapted the following methods:
• Button and control operations are explained as listed in the
table below. In this manual, the operations using the remote
control is mainly explained; however, you can use the
buttons and controls on the main unit if they have the same
(or similar) name and marks.
•
Some related tips and notes are explained later in the
sections “Learning More about This System” and
“Troubleshooting,” but not in the same section
explaining the operations.

After unpacking, check to be sure that you have all the
following items. The number in parentheses indicates the
quantity of each piece supplied.
• FM antenna (1)
• AM loop antenna (1)
• Remote control (1)
• Batteries (2)
If any item is missing, consult your dealer immediately.
Step 2: Prepare the Remote Control

• DO NOT use an old battery together with a
new one.
• DO NOT use different types of batteries
together.
• DO NOT expose batteries to heat or flame.
• DO NOT leave the batteries in the battery
compartment when you are not going to use
the remote control for an extended period of
time. Otherwise, the remote control will be
damaged from battery leakage.

Step 3: Hook Up
If you need more detailed information, see page 6.
Illustrations of the input/output terminals below are typical
examples.
When you connect other components, refer also to their
manuals since the terminal names actually printed on the rear

• If the AM loop antenna wire or speaker cords are covered
with vinyl, remove the vinyl to expose the tip of the
antenna by twisting the vinyl.
• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other
terminals, connecting cords and power cord. Also, keep the
antennas away from metallic parts of the System,
connecting cords, and the AC power cord. This could cause
poor reception.

• DO NOT connect more than one speaker to
each terminal.
• DO NOT allow the conductor of the speaker
cords to be in touch with the metallic parts of
the System.
