FOR SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION

Do not damage the power cord.

When not in use, disconnect the power cord from the

outlet, Grasp the plug, not the cord, when disconnect­ing the unit.
If water should enter the unit, electrical shock or a mal-

function may result. Use in an area where there is low

humidity and little dust.
Do not disassemble or alter the unit in any way.
Do not use the unit in area where extremes in tempera-

ture occur (below 50C or exceeding 350C), or where il

may be exposed to direct sunlight.

Because of the unit’s extremely low noise and wide
dynamic range, there may be a tendency to turn the
volume on the amplifier higher than necessary. Doing
so may produce an excessive output from the amplifier,
which can cause damage to your speakers. Use care
when playing compact discs. Wait until the music has
started before raising the volume.
Sudden changes in the surrounding temperature can
cause dew to form on the optical pickup lens inside the
unit. Under this condition the unit may not operate prop­erly. If this should occur, remove the disc and allow the
player to adjust to the surrounding temperature.

-2-

CONNECTIONS

Locate the unit horizontally on a heavy duty stand or firm
level surface and away from the speaker system, to avoid
sound feedback.
NOTE:

- Do not place the unit near a source of heat (e.g. a
radiator) or in direct sunlight.

- Do not place the unit in an area with high humidity.

Make all system connections before plugging in the AC
cord.

FM antenna
The FM indoor antenna lead wire is sufficient to receive
most local FM broadcasts and should be connected to the
rear FM ANT terminal. Extend the antenna lead wire as

straight as possible and, while listening to the sound from
the system, secure it in a position where the best FM
reception is found.
Infringe areas, or where reception is distorted or noisy, an
FM outdoor antenna (not supplied) should be connected
instead of the FM indoor antenna lead wire. The terminals
will accept 75-ohm coaxial cable,

AM antenna
The AM loop antenna is sufficient to receive most local AM
broadcasts.
Assemble the loop antenna.

Unwind the antenna wires (about 3 turns), then connect

them to the AM LOOP ANT. terminals. Place the loop

antenna in a position which yields the best AM reception,
or attach it to a wall or other surface as shown.

upplied)

NOTES:

To minimize noise...

- Keep the speaker wires, power cord and all other

system connection cables away from the antennas.

- Do not place the antenna close to a TV or speaker.

Video equipment input jacks (VIDEO)
Connect a cable (not supplied) from the output jacks of the
video equipment to these jacks.

Speaker terminals (SPEAKERS)
Connect the speaker wires to these terminals. The red
terminals are (+) positive and the black terminals are (-)
negative,
NOTE:

Use speakers with a minimum impedance of 8 ohms, To
achieve proper stereo reproduction, identical connec-

tions must be made at the speakers and the amplifier,

Power cord
Connect the power cord to an AC wall outlet. If the unit will
not be used for a long time, disconnect the AC plug from

the wall outlet.

NOTE:

Before plugging the power cord into an AC outlet, make
sure that all the connections have been made.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the cabinet
Use a clean soft cloth moistened with plain lukewarm
water and wrung dry. Never use benzol, benzine or other
strong chemical cleaners since these could damage the
finish of your unit. It is important that no liquid reaches the
inside of the unit.

Cleaning the cassette section
For continued high performance from the cassette sec­tion, periodically clean the heads, pinch rollers and cap­stans whenever an accumulation of dust and red-brown
oxide particles is noticed.
To do this, press both STOP/EJECT buttons. Remove any
cassettes still in the cassette compartments. Carefully rub
each head (4, 5, 8), pinch roller (3, 7) and capstan (2, 6)
with a cotton swab (1) moistened with isopropyl alcohol or
special head-cleaning fluid.
