Listening caution

EST. 1924

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just
purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now
it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and
excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the
Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics
Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by
playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through
loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion—and,
most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to
excessive noise.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort
level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds
“normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level
BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably

and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

• Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing
damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening
for a lifetime.

A The remote control

■ Batteries

• Insert so the poles (+ and –) match those in the remote control.

• Do not use rechargeable type batteries.

Do not:

• mix old and new batteries.

• use different types at the same time.

• heat or expose to flame.

• take apart or short circuit.

• attempt to recharge alkaline or manganese batteries.

• use batteries if the covering has been peeled off.

Mishandling of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage which
can damage items the fluid contacts and may cause a fire.

Remove if the remote control is not going to be used for a long
period of time. Store in a cool, dark place.

■ Use

Aim at the remote control sensor, avoiding obstacles, at a
maximum range of 7 m (23 feet) directly in front of the unit.

a

Confirm the colors of the tags on the ends of the cords.

b

For White tags:
Connect cords to gray terminals.
For Blue, Black and Red tags:

Connect cords so tag colors match the terminal colors.
Cords with white and blue tags are for high frequency.
Cords with red and black tags are for low frequency.

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.

4 Connect the AC power supply cord.

Note

The included AC power supply cord is for use with this unit

Optional antenna connections

You may need an outdoor antenna if you use this system in a
mountainous region or inside a reinforced-concrete building, etc.

A FM outdoor antenna

Disconnect the FM indoor antenna if an FM outdoor antenna is
installed.

Note

An outdoor antenna should be installed by a qualified technician only.

B AM outdoor antenna

Connect the outdoor antenna without removing the AM loop
antenna. Run 5 to 12 m of vinyl-covered wire horizontally along
a window or other convenient location.

Note

When the unit is not in use, disconnect the outdoor antenna to
prevent possible damage that may be caused by lightning.
Never use an outdoor antenna during a lightning storm.
