Getting Started

Accessories

Make sure that you have all of the following items, which are supplied with the System.

FM Wire Antenna (1)

AM (MW) Loop Antenna (1)

Remote Control (1)

Batteries (2)

Speaker Cords (2)

If any of these items are missing, contact your dealer immediately.

How To Put Batteries In the Remote Control

Getting Started

CAUTION:

• Make all connections before plugging the System into an AC power outlet.

Connecting the FM Antenna

Rear Panel of the Center Unit (CA-FSX1/CA-FSX3)

(on the side panel)

Using the Supplied Wire Antenna

FM wire antenna (supplied)

Fasten it up in the position until you have the best reception.

If reception is poor, connect the outdoor antenna.

Using the Coaxial Type Connector

(Not Supplied)

A 75-ohm antenna with coaxial type connector (IEC or DIN 45 325) should be connected to the FM 75-ohm COAXIAL terminal.

FM outdoor antenna

(Not supplied)

Coaxial cable

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

5

Getting Started

Connecting the AM (MW) Antenna

Rear Panel of the Center Unit (CA-FSX1/CA-FSX3)

AM (MW) loop antenna (Supplied)

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

Outdoor single vinyl-covered wire (not supplied)

Turn the loop until you have the best reception.

If the AM (MW) loop antenna wire is covered with vinyl, remove the vinyl by twisting it as shown in the diagram.

Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals, connecting cords and power cord. This could cause poor reception.

If reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinyl-covered wire to the AM EXT terminal. (Keep the AM (MW) loop antenna connected.)

6

Getting Started

Connecting the Speakers (SP-FSX1/SP-FSX3)

These speakers are exclusively for this system. Using with other devices will damage the speakers.

Connect the speaker cords between the speaker terminals of the Unit and those of the Speakers.

When inserting the speaker wire lead, open the speaker terminal.

Connect the black cord to the ( - ) terminal and the cord without a black line to the (+) terminal.

SPEAKER terminal description

(on the side panel)

Since both speakers are the same, you can put either one to the right or left side.

Do not connect other speakers to the Unit. The difference of the load impedance causes failures.

Do not use the supplied speakers in parallel with other speakers.

CAUTION:

A TV may display irregular colors if located near the speakers. If this happens, set the speakers away from the TV.

Getting Started

Removing the Speaker Grills (SP-FSX1)

The speaker grills can be removed.

When removing:

1. Pull the bottom towards you with your fingers.

2. Also pull the top towards you.

When attaching the speaker grills:

Attach the speaker grills as shown in the diagram.

Connecting a Powered Subwoofer

Connect a signal cord (not supplied) between the System’s SUBWOOFER terminal and the input terminal of an external subwoofer. (For the details of connection, please refer to the user’s manual of the external equipment.)

Subwoofer (not supplied)

Signal cord (not supplied)

Connecting an External Equipment

Connect signal cords (not supplied) between the System’s LINE IN/OUT terminals and the output/input terminals of the external MD recorder, tape deck, etc. (For the details of connection, please refer to the user’s manual of the external equipment.) You can then listen to the external source through the System or record the System’s CD player or tuner to the external unit.
