Introduction

Auto Power Save function (APS)

The System comes with an “Auto Power Save (APS)” function, which turns off the power automatically when no sound is output for 15 minutes. This function is enabled in the default setting. (p. 46)

In this manual...

The remote control buttons are used for explaining the operations unless mentioned otherwise. However, if the System has buttons with the same or similar names, they can also be used for the operations.

The display shown in this manual may differ from the actual display in some cases.

In this manual...

In this manual, “iPod” includes iPod, iPod touch and iPhone devices. When referring specifically to iPod touch or iPhone, “iPod touch” or “iPhone” is used respectively.

In this manual, for explanation of audio files (MP3/WMA/AAC), “file” and “track” are used interchangeably.

Ways to press the buttons

There are two ways of pressing the buttons on the System. “Short press” refers to the action of pressing a button and releasing it immediately, while “long press” refers to pressing and holding down a button.

Short press: Applicable to cases where “long press” is not indicated

Press a button lightly and release it instantly. The System may not respond if excessive force is applied to a button or if the button is not released instantly. If it does not respond as intended, retry by adjusting how long a button is pressed or the amount of force applied.

Long press: Applicable to cases where “long press” is indicated

Press and hold down a button, followed by releasing the finger.

Preparation

Accessories

Check that you have all the following items, which are supplied for the System.

Preparing the remote control

Loading the batteries

Match the polarities (+ and –) of the batteries with those indicated on the remote control.

CAUTION

The batteries supplied are intended for checking system operation. Replace them with new ones as soon as possible.

Read through the attached “Safety Precautions” to ensure proper handling of the batteries.

For used batteries, insulate them such as by attaching an insulating tape, and dispose of them according to the guidelines set forth by the local government of the area of use.

Do not subject the remote control to strong impacts, such as dropping it or hitting it against other objects.

Connecting the speaker cord to the speaker

The bare wires at the tip of the cord may cause short circuit when they come into contact with the metal parts of the System, causing it to break down.

Remove the cable coating

Handling the tip of speaker cord

Insert the core wire without bending from the top

The speaker cords can also be connected to the speakers by using banana plugs which are commercially available. After tightening the speaker terminals on the System, insert the banana plugs to which the speaker cords are connected, into the hole of the speaker terminals.

Left Speaker (sold separately) Rear view

Right Speaker (sold separately) Rear view

When you connect the speaker cords, connect them to match the polarity (plus to plus and minus to minus) between the speakers and the System.

Connections

CAUTION

After checking all the connections have been made correctly, plug the AC power cord of this unit into the outlet.

When unplugging a connected cord or cable, make sure to turn off the power of the System in advance, and remove the AC power cord from the outlet.

Connecting speakers

The illustrations are examples for connection. The speaker can also be connected with speaker terminals and speaker cords other than the illustration.

NOTE

You can also make use of general speakers besides the recommended product (LS-K901). Use one with a speaker impedance of 4 Ω to 16 Ω.

Connections

Precautions during speaker connection

Do not connect more than 2 speakers into 1 terminal.

Avoid applying excessive force when inserting the speaker cord to prevent the vinyl coating from entering the terminal.

Incorrect connection of the speaker cords may cause the System to malfunction. Connect properly according to the diagram.

Rear view of System

Extend the wire of the antenna at a position and in the direction with the best reception, and tape it securely.
