Connection (FM antenna)

CAUTION:

•Switch off the power to all equipment before making connections.

•Read the instructions of each component you intend to use with this unit.

•Be sure to insert each plug securely. To prevent hum and noise, avoid bundling the signal interconnection cables together with the AC power cord or speaker cables.

A FM Indoor Antenna

In an area with strong FM signals, the T-type FM antenna provided with this unit is sufficient.

Extend the antenna into a “T” shape and connect the two wires at the base of the “T” to the provided matching transformer, as shown.

After completing connection, plug the transformer into the “FM 75Ω” socket. Extend the top of the “T” and tune the tuner to your favorite station (see page 31). Adjust the antenna in a suitable location like a window frame or wall until the reception is best and then affix the antenna in that position using thumb tacks, push pins or any other suitable means.

B FM Outdoor Antenna

In an area where FM signals are weak, it will be necessary to use an 75-ohm unbalanced-type outdoor FM antenna. Generally, a 3-element antenna will be sufficient; if you live in an area where the FM signals are particularly weak, it may be necessary to use one with 5 or more elements.

•Disconnect the FM indoor antenna when using an outdoor antenna.

Connection (AM antenna)

AM Indoor Loop Antenna

The high-performance AM loop antenna provided with this unit is sufficient for good reception in most areas.

To stand the loop antenna on a surface, fix the claw to the slot in the antenna base.

Connect the loop antenna’s wires to the AM antenna terminals.

How to connect:

Press the lever, insert the end of the cord, then release the lever. Make sure it is fastened securely by pulling the cord lightly. Make sure only the bare, stripped wire is inserted in the jack and that no plastic insulation is preventing contact between the antenna wire and terminal.

Place the antenna on a shelf or hang it on a window frame, etc., in the direction which gives the best reception. Keep all other wires such as power cords, speaker wires or interconnect wires as far away as possible from the antenna.

•If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver sufficient reception (often due to being too far from the transmitter or in a concrete building, etc.), it may be necessary to use an outdoor AM antenna.

Use either a high quality commercial AM antenna or, if not available, an insulated wire more than 5 m long, strip one end, and connect this to the terminal as shown.

The antenna wire should be strung outdoors or indoors near a window. For better reception, connect the GND terminal to a reliable ground.

Note:

Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do not disconnect the AM loop antenna.

A	B	Connection to audio/video components
		A DIGITAL IN terminals
		Used for the input of digital audio signals. Connect these
		digital input terminals to the appropriate digital output
C		terminals of the digital audio source unit such as a DVD or
		CD player.
	C	Use a good quality RCA coaxial cable or optical digital
		cable.

B DIGITAL OUT terminal

The digital signals coming in through the DIGITAL IN terminals are sent out through this terminal.

Connect to the digital input terminal of a digital recording device such as a CD recorder using a commerciallyavailable optical digital cable.

When inserting the plug of the optical cable, the protective shutter of the terminal will open and you should hear it

TAPE click into position when fully inserted. Be careful that you do not force the plug, because this could result in damage to the protective shutter, the cable, or the unit itself.

	D	C AUDIO IN/OUT jacks
		Analog 2-channel audio signal is input or output from
		these jacks. Connect the component with commercially-
		available RCA cables.

Make sure to connect:

E COMPONENT IN/OUT jacks

COMPONENT VIDEO provides the best video quality and should be used as your first choice.

If your DVD player and TV (or monitor) have COMPONENT VIDEO jacks, connect them with quality component video cables.

F S-VIDEO or VIDEO jacks

S-VIDEO connection is your second choice and is superior to the standard composite video connection.

If the component has an S-VIDEO jack, connect it with a high quality S-VIDEO cable.

If neither COMPONENT VIDEO nor S-VIDEO is available, connect the component with a high quality RCA cable designed for video applications.

The video signal from COMPONENT, S-VIDEO or VIDEO jacks cannot be mixed.

For example, the signal input into the COMPONENT IN jacks is output from the COMPONENT OUT jacks only. Be sure to connect all the components via the same kind of jacks.

G AC OUTLET (switched)

Not available for AUSTRALIA, UK model.

This outlet is active only when the unit is on.

Caution:

Make sure that the total power consumption of all equipment connected to the outlet(s) does not exceed 100 watts.

H AC Power Cord

After all other connections are complete, connect the plug to the AC wall socket.

If you are not going to use the unit for some time, disconnect the power cord from the wall socket. (Leaving the power cord unconnected for longer than 14 days will cause the tuner memory presets to be lost.)

Speaker Connections

Caution:

To avoid damaging the speakers with a sudden high-level signal, be sure to switch the power off before connecting the speakers.

Check the impedance of your speakers. Connect speaker with an impedance of 6 ohms or more.

The black speaker terminals are (negative).

Generally, the	side of the speaker cable is marked to
make it distinguishable from the		side of the cable.
Connect this marked side to the		terminal and the
unmarked side to the black terminal.

Prepare the speaker cables for connection by stripping off approximately 10 mm or less of the outer insulation. (Removing too much insulation may lead to a short circuit if the bared wired should come in contact with each other.) Twist the strands of the stripped wires tightly together :

Caution:

The metal portions of the two separate wires should not touch or an electrical short can occur. Shorted wires can create a fire hazard or induce a failure in your equipment.

How to connect:

1.Turn the terminal cap counterclockwise to loosen it. The speaker terminal caps cannot be fully removed from the base.

2.Insert the wire into the terminal fully and turn the terminal cap clockwise to securely connect it:

Make sure none of the wire insulation is under the terminal, only the bare, stripped wire.

3. Make sure it is fastened firmly by pulling the cable lightly.

Positioning of the Speakers

The positioning of speakers differs according to the size

and acoustics of the listening room. While actually listening

to a program source, try various speaker positions to

determine which layout provides the best surround effect.

•

Ideally, position all the speakers in a circle, with the same

distance from your listening position.

•

Place the speakers connected to “L” to your left, and “R” to

your right.

Front speakers
