Introduction

About This Manual

This manual is organized as follows:

• The manual mainly explains operations using the

buttons and controls on the unit. You can also use the buttons on the remote control if they have the same or similar names (or marks) as those on the unit. If operation using the remote control is different from that using the unit, it is then explained.

• Basic and common information that is the same for many functions is grouped in one place, and is not repeated in each procedure. For instance, we do not repeat the information about turning on/off the unit, setting the volume, changing the sound effects, and others, which are explained in the section “Common Operations” on pages 10 to 12.

• The following marks are used in this manual:

Gives you warnings and cautions to prevent from a damage or risk of fire/electric shock. Also gives you information which is not good for obtaining the best possible performance from the unit.

Gives you information and hints you had better know.

Precautions

Installation

• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold — between 5˚C (41˚F) and 35˚C (95˚F).

• Install the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat built-up in the unit.

• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.

• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference with TV.

DO NOT install the unit in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.

• After starting heating in the room

• In a damp room

• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm place

Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this case, leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, and then plug it in again.

Others

• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the unit, unplug the unit and consult your dealer before operating any further.

• AM loop antenna (1)

• FM antenna (1)

• Remote control (1)

• Batteries (2)

If any is missing, consult your dealer immediately.

Putting the Batteries into the Remote Control

Insert the batteries — R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F) — into the remote control, by matching the polarity (+ and –) on the batteries with the + and – markings on the battery compartment. When the remote control can no longer operate the unit, replace both batteries at the same time.

• 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.

How to strip the 75-ohm coaxial cable and connect it to the FM terminals

1.Strip off the outside covering of the 75-ohm coaxial cable to expose the braided metallic mesh about 13/16 inches (20 mm).

2.Pull the mesh back and twist it into a single conductor as shown in the illustration above.

3.Strip the insulation about 7/16 inches (10 mm) back from the central wire.

4.Insert the twisted mesh and the central wire into the FM terminals, as shown in the illustration above.
