IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit. Follow the safety instructions on the unit and the safety precautions listed below.
Keep these operating instructions handy for future reference.
Safety
1. Power source—Connect the unit to a power source of the type
described in these instructions or as marked on the unit.
2. Polarization—The unit is equipped with a polarized power plug
where one blade is wider than the other. This safety feature
ensures that the plug fits into your household AC outlet only one
way. If the plug doesn’t fit one way, try reversing it. If the plug
still doesn’t fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete
outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the plug.
Before use
3. Power cord protection—Route the AC power supply cord so
that it will not be walked on or pinched by items placed on or
against it. Never take hold of the plug or cord with wet hands.
Always grasp the plug body firmly when connecting and
disconnecting it.
4. Overloading—When connecting the AC power supply cord, be
careful not to overload the household AC outlet, extension cord,
or outlet from any other device as this can result in fire or electric
shock.
5. Nonuse periods—Turn the unit off when it is not in use. Unplug
the unit from the household AC outlet if it is not to be used for a
long time. Unplug the unit during lightning storms.
6. Attachments and accessories—Use only the attachments and
accessories recommended in these operating instructions.
Installation
Placement
4. Outdoor antenna grounding—If you connect an outdoor
antenna, ground the antenna system to protect against voltage
surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1990, provides information
about grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding
of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode. Refer to this diagram.

1. Ventilation—Situate the unit so that it receives proper ventilation.
Do not install in a confined space such as a bookcase or cabinet.
Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance from the rear of the
unit. To prevent the risk of electric shock or fire due to overheating
ensure curtains and other materials do not obstruct the unit’s
ventilation.
2. Foreign material—Ensure objects and liquids do not get into
the unit. Avoid exposing the unit to excessive smoke, dust,
mechanical vibration, and shock.
3. Magnetism—Situate the unit away from equipment and devices
that generate strong magnetic fields.
4. Stacking—Do not place heavy objects on top of this unit.
5. Surface—Place the unit on a flat, level surface.
6. Carts and stands—Use the unit only with carts
and stands recommended by the manufacturer.
Move carts with care. Sudden stops, excessive
force, and uneven surfaces can cause carts to
overturn.
7. Wall and ceiling mounting—Do not mount the unit on walls or
ceilings unless specified in the instructions.
Environment
1. Water and moisture—Do not use the unit near water, such as
near a bathtub or swimming pool. Avoid damp basements.
2. Heat—Situate the unit away from heat sources, such as radiators.
Do not situate where temperatures fall below 5˚C (41˚F) or rise
above 35˚C (95˚F).
3. Power lines—Take care when setting up an outdoor antenna
that it is not near overhead power lines, electric lights, or electrical
circuits, and that there is no danger of the antenna falling on
power lines, electric lights, or electrical circuits. When installing
an outdoor antenna, take extreme care not to touch such power
lines or circuits, as contact with them can be fatal.
Maintenance
(See page 26 for details.)
Unplug the unit from the household AC outlet before cleaning.
Clean with a damp cloth.
Do not use abrasive pads, scouring powders, or solvents.
Service
1. Damage requiring service—The unit should be serviced by
qualified service personnel if:
(a) The AC power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
(b) Objects or liquids have gotten into the unit; or
(c) The unit has been exposed to rain; or
(d) The unit does not operate normally or exhibits a marked
change in performance; or
(e) The unit has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.
2. Servicing—Do not attempt to service the unit beyond that
described in these operating instructions. Refer all other servicing
to authorized servicing personnel.
3. Replacement parts—When parts need replacing ensure the
servicer uses parts specified by the manufacturer or parts that
have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized
substitutes may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
4. Safety check—After repairs or service, ask the servicer to perform
safety checks to confirm that the unit is in proper working
condition.

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 you to 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.
Battery installation
R6, AA, UM-3
Use of batteries
• Align the poles (+ and –) properly when inserting the batteries.
• Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.
• Do not recharge ordinary dry cell batteries.
• Do not heat or disassemble the batteries. Do not allow them to
contact flame or water.
• Remove the batteries if the unit is not to be used for a long time.
• Do not keep together with metallic objects such as necklaces.
• Do not use rechargeable type batteries.
• Do not 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.
If electrolyte leaks from the batteries, consult your dealer.
Wash thoroughly with water if electrolyte comes in contact with any
part of your body.
Before use
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.
Placement of speakers
Speakers are designed identically so that no left or right channel
orientation is necessary.
Notes
• Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (
for proper ventilation.
• These speakers do not have magnetic shielding. Do not place them
near televisions, personal computers or other devices easily
influenced by magnetism.
• To avoid damage to the speakers, do not touch the speakers cones
if you have taken the nets off.

Operations notes
• Do not place obstacles between the remote control signal sensor
and remote control unit.
• Do not expose the remote control signal sensor to direct sunlight or
to the bright light of a fluorescent light.
• Take care to keep the remote control signal sensor and end of the
remote control unit free from dust.
• If this system is installed in a rack with glass doors, the glass doors’
thickness or color might make it necessary to use the remote
control a shorter distance from the system.

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 the best reception :
An FM outdoor antenna is recommended (\ 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 color 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 re-
commended system.
