1. Power sources — The unit should be connected

to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.

2. Power-cord protection — Power-supply cords

should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.

Never pull or stretch the cord.

3. Grounding or polarization — The precautions

should be taken so that the grounding or polariza tion means of this unit is not defeated.

7. Heat — The unit should be situated away from

heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other units (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

8. Electric shock — Care should be taken so that ob

jects do not fall and liquid is not spilled into the en closure through openings. If a metal object, such as a hair pin or a needle, comes into contact with the inside of this unit, a dangerous electric shock may result. For families with children, never permit chil dren to put anything, especially metal, inside this

unit.

4. Ventilation — The unit should be situated so that

its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. To maintain good ventilation, do not put records or a table-cloth on the unit. Place the unit at least

10 cm away from the walls. Do not use the unit on a bed, sofa, rug or similar

surface that may block the ventilation openings.

5. Water and moisture — The unit should not be

used near water — for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet base ment, or near a swimming pool, etc.

9. Enclosure removal — Never remove the en

closure. If the internal parts are touched accidentally, a serious electric shock might occur.

10. Magnetic fields — Keep the unit away from

sources of magnetic fields such as TV sets, speaker systems, radios, motorized toys or magnetized objects.

11. Cleaning — Do not use volatile solvents such as

alcohol, paint thinner, gasoline, or benzine, etc. to clean the cabinet. Use a clean dry cloth.

6. Temperature — The unit may not function pro

perly if used at extremely low, or freezing tempera

tures. The ideal ambient temperature is above -l- 5°C

(41 °F).

18. Power lines — An outdoor antenna should be lo

cated away from power lines.

19. AC outlets — Do not connect other audio equip

ment with a power .consumption larger than that specified to the AC outlet on the rear panel. Never connect other electrical units, such as an iron or toaster, to it to prevent fire or electric shock.

15. Damage requiring service — The unit should be

serviced by qualified service personnel when:

damaged.

16. Servicing — The user should not attempt to ser

vice the unit beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.

17. Outdoor antenna grounding — If an outside an

tenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the an tenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up stat ic charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and sup porting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding con

System connections

Connection of antennas

AM loop antenna connection

The supplied antenna is for indoor use. Place it as far as possible from the main system, TV set, speaker cords and power cord, and set it to a direction which provides the best reception.

AM outdoor antenna connection

If the reception is poor when the AM loop antenna is used, distribute a vinyl-coated wire of more than 6 meters outdoors, without discon necting the loop antenna.

FM indoor antenna connection

The supplied antenna is for indoor use. For stable reception, remove the indoor antenna after installing an outdoor antenna as soon as possible.

3) Find the position that provides best reception. @ Fix two ends.

FM outdoor antenna connection

It is recommended to install an exclusive FM outdoor antenna to capture FM broadcasts with high sound quality. Use a coaxial cable for

the connection between the outdoor antenna and FM ANTENNA terminal on the rear panel.
