R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F)

CAUTION:

• Handle batteries properly.

❏ To avoid battery leakage or explosion:

• Remove batteries when the Remote Control will not be used for a long time.

• When you need to replace the batteries, replace both batteries at the same time with new ones.

• Do not use an old battery with a new one.

• Do not use different types of batteries together.

Strip vinyl shield from cut line, twist wire core.

Getting Started

Using an FM 75-Ohm Antenna Cable (not Supplied)

If reception is poor, connect the outside antenna.

Outdoor FM antenna cable (not supplied)

• Before attaching a 75 ohm coaxial lead (the kind with a round wire going to an outdoor antenna), disconnect the supplied FM Wire Antenna.

Getting Started

Connecting the AM Antenna

Rear Panel of the Unit

AM loop antenna (Supplied)

AM antenna wire (not supplied) If reception is poor, connect the outside antenna.

Turn the loop until you have the best reception.

Attach the AM loop to its base by snapping the tabs on the loop into the slot in the base.

• Even when connecting an outside AM antenna, keep the indoor AM loop connected.

CAUTION:

• To avoid noise, keep antennas away from the System, the connecting cord and the AC power cord.

Connecting the Speakers
