Caution
•These speaker terminals can be under HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE. When you connect or disconnect the speaker cables, to prevent the risk of electric shock, do not touch uninsulated parts before disconnecting the power cord.
•Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted together and inserted fully into the speaker terminal. If any of the bare speaker wire touches the back panel it may cause the power to cut off as a safety measure.
Plugging in
Make sure to complete all connections before connecting to an AC IN inlet.
• Connect the AC power cord to the AC IN inlet on the rear panel of the receiver, then plug into a power outlet.

• Connect the speakers to the SPEAKERS terminals as shown above.
Bare wire connections
Make sure that the speaker cable you’re going to use is properly prepared with about 10 mm of insulator stripped from each wire, and the exposed wire strands twisted together (fig. A).
To connect a terminal, unscrew the terminal a few turns until there is enough space to insert the exposed wire (fig. B). Once the wire is in position, tighten the terminal until the wire is firmly clamped (fig. C).

If you don’t press ENTER, searching resumes.
When DISPLAY is pressed again, the PTY search function ends and the display returns to the tuner frequency.
Note
1In addition, there are three other program types, Alarm Alarm!, Alarm Test, and None. Alarm Alarm! and Alarm Test are used for emergency announcements. You can’t search for these, but the tuner will switch automatically to this RDS broadcast signal. None appears when a program type cannot be found.
2• If any noise is picked up while displaying the RT scroll, some characters may be displayed incorrectly.
•If the No Radio Text Data message appears in the RT display, it may mean that RT data is not being transmitted from the radio station. In the same way, if the No Data message appears in the PS or PTY display, it may mean that no PS or PTY data are being transmitted from the radio station.
•When no broadcast can be received, selecting the RDS display will cause the No Data message to appear in all display areas, and thereafter the display will automatically return to the frequency display.
3RDS is only possible in the FM band.

About Internet radio
Internet radio is an audio broadcasting service transmitted via the Internet. There are a large number of Internet radio stations broadcasting a variety of services from every corner of the world. Some are hosted, managed, and broadcast by private individuals while others are by the corresponding traditional terrestrial radio stations or radio networks. Whereas terrestrial, or OTA (over-the-air), radio stations are geographically restricted on the range of radio waves broadcast from a transmitter through the air, Internet radio stations are accessible from anywhere in the world, as long as there is a connection to the Internet, as services are not transmitted through the air but are delivered over the World Wide Web. On this receiver you can select Internet radio stations by genre as well as by region.
About list of Internet radio
The list of Internet radio stations on this receiver is created, edited, and managed by the vTuner database service exclusively for use with this receiver.
