Precautions
Installation
• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor
too cold—between 5°C and 35°C.
• Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to
prevent internal heat buildup in 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 unit.
For safety, observe the following carefully:
• Make sure there is good ventilation around
the unit. Poor ventilation could overheat
and damage the unit.
• 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.
Others
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the System,
unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer before
operating any further.
DO NOT disassemble the System since
there are no user serviceable parts inside.
• 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.

• 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.
Do not connect the power cord until all other connections have been made.
Step 3: Hook Up
If you need more detailed information, see page 5.
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 vary among the components.
Turn the power off to all components before
connections.
FM antenna (supplied)
Extend it so that you can obtain
the best reception.
To assemble the AM loop antenna
AM loop antenna (supplied)
Turn it until the best reception
is obtained.
To a wall outlet
Plug the AC power cord only after all
connections are complete.
• Demonstration will start automatically. To
cancel it, see page 8.

Do not connect the power cord until all other connections have been made.
To connect the AM loop antenna cords
• Connect black cord to the H
terminal, and the while cord to
the other terminal.
1 Hold
2 Insert
3 Release
• 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.
1 Hold
• 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
condition.

Keep it connected.
Disconnect the supplied FM antenna, and
connect to an outdoor FM antenna using a 75 Ω
wire with coaxial type connector.
To connect the speaker cords
• The supplied speakers do not conform to magnetically
shielded design. Place the speakers enough distance from
a TV so that they do not cause color irregularity on the TV.
• When connecting the speaker cords, match their polarity
with that of the speaker terminals: red/blue to (+) and black
to (–).
• Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance as
indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of the unit.
