Introduction

Precautions

Installation

•Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold—between 5°C and 35°C.

•Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat buildup in the System.

DO NOT install the System in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.

•Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV.

•Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference with TV.

Power sources

•When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always pull on the plug, not the AC power cord.

DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet hands.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lenses inside the System in the following cases:

•After starting to heat the room

•In a damp room

•If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm place.

Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case, leave the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again.

Internal heat

•A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel to prevent heat buildup inside the unit.

For safety, observe the following carefully:

•Make sure there is good ventilation around the unit. Poor ventilation could overheat and damage the unit.

•DO NOT block the cooling fan and the ventilation openings or holes. If they are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.

Others

•Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the System, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer before operating any further.

DO NOT disassemble the System since there are no user serviceable parts inside.

•If you are not going to operate the System for an extended period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.

If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer.

Do not connect the power cord until all other connections have been made.

Step 3: Hook Up

If you need more detailed information, see page 5.

Illustrations of the input/output terminals below are typical examples.

When you connect other components, refer also to their manuals since the terminal names actually printed on the rear vary among the components.

Turn the power off to all components before connections.

To assemble the AM loop antenna

AM loop antenna (supplied)

FM antenna (supplied)

Turn it until the best reception is obtained.

Extend it so that you can obtain the best reception.

To a wall outlet

Plug the AC power cord only after all connections are complete.

•Demonstration will start automatically. To cancel it, see page 8.

To connect the speaker cords

•The supplied speakers do not conform to magnetically shielded design. Place the speakers enough distance from a TV so that they do not cause color irregularity on the TV.

•When connecting the speaker cords, match their polarity with that of the speaker terminals: red/blue to (+) and black to (–).

•Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance as indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of the unit.

IMPORTANT

•Always set volume to VOL MIN when connecting or disconnecting the other equipment.

DO NOT plug in any equipment until all connections are complete.
