Placement
Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight, high
temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These
conditions can damage the cabinet and other components, thereby
shortening the unit’s service life.
Place it at least 15 cm away from wall surfaces to avoid distortion
and unwanted acoustical effects.
Do not place heavy items on the unit.
Voltage
Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the unit
and cause a fire.
Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when
setting the unit up on a ship or other place where DC is used.
AC mains lead protection
Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not damaged.
Poor connection and lead damage can cause fire or electric shock.
Do not pull, bend, or place heavy items on the lead.
Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the AC
mains lead can cause electric shock.
Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric
shock.

1 Connect the FM indoor antenna.
Tape the antenna to a wall or column, in a position where radio
signals are received with the least amount of interference.
Note
For best reception sound quality:
An FM outdoor antenna is recommended. (See page 7.)
2 Connect the AM loop antenna.
After attaching the antenna, turn on the system and tune in a
broadcast station. Put the antenna where the reception is best
and interference is minimal.
3 Connect the speaker cables.
Connect each end of the speaker cables to the terminal lever of
the same colour so (+) and (–) are correct. Never allow the
exposed wires to contact each other when connected.
Incorrect connection can damage the unit.
Caution
• Use only the supplied speakers.
The combination of the main unit and speakers provide the
best sound. Using other speakers can damage the unit and
sound quality will be negatively affected.
Caution
• Use the speakers only with the recommended
system.
Failure to do so may lead to damage to the amplifier
and/or the speakers, and may result in the risk of
fire.
Consult a qualified service person if damage has
occurred or if you experience a sudden change in
performance.
• Do not attach these speakers to walls or ceilings.
