Introduction

Congratulations on Your Purchase!

Your new high fidelity receiver is designed to deliver maximum enjoyment and years of trouble free service. Please take a few moments to read this manual thoroughly. It will explain the features and operation of your unit and help ensure a trouble free installation. Please unpack your unit carefully. We recommend that you save the carton and packing material. They will be helpful if you ever need to move your unit and may be required if you ever need to return it for service. Your unit is designed to be placed in a horizontal position and it is important to allow at least two inches of space behind your unit for adequate ventilation and cabling convenience. To avoid damage, never place the unit near radiators, in front of heating vents, in direct sunlight, or in excessively humid or dusty locations. Connect your complementary components as illustrated in the following section.

FOR U.S.A

󳥎Note to CATV System Installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

󳥎FCC INFORMATION

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

󳢯Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. 󳢯Increase the separation between the equipment

and receiver.

󳢯Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit

different from that to which the receiver is connected.

󳢯Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV

technician for help.

CAUTION: Any changes or modifications in construction of this device which are not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

WARNING

ENGLISH

UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION

Caution regarding placement (Except for U.S.A and Canada)

To maintain proper ventilation, be sure to leave a space around the unit (from the largest outer dimensions including projections) equal to, or greater than, shown below.

Left and right panels: 5 cm Rear panel: 10 cm Top panel: 20 cm

FOR U.S.A AND CANADA ..............................120 V

Units shipped to the U.S.A and Canada are designed for operation on 120 V AC only.

Safety precaution with use of a polarized AC plug. However, some products may be supplied with a nonpolarized plug.

CAUTION : To prevent electric shock, match wide

blade of plug to wide slot, fully insert.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

FOR EUROPE AND AUSTRALIA .........230 V/240V

Units shipped to Australia are designed for operation on 240 V AC only. To ensure safe operation, the three-pin plug supplied must be inserted only into a standard three-pin power point which is effectively earthed through the normal household wiring. Extension cords used with the equipment must be three-core and be correctly wired to provide connection to earth. Improper extension cords are a major cause of fatalities. The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is earthed and that the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective earthing of the power point, consult a qualified electrician. PAN-EUROPEAN UNIFIED VOLTAGE All units are suitable for use on supplies 230~240 V AC.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

ENGLISH

READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT

󳢯Do not plug the AC input cord into the wall AC outlet until all connections are completed. 󳢯Be sure to connect the white RCA pin cord to the L(left) and the red RCA pin cord to the R(right) jacks when making audio

connections.

󳢯Change the position of the FM indoor antenna until you get the best reception of your favorite FM stations. 󳢯A 75 Ω outdoor FM antenna may be used to further improve the reception.

Disconnect the indoor antenna before replacing it with the outdoor one.

󳢯Place the AM loop antenna as far as possible from the receiver, TV set, speaker cords and the AC input cord and set it to a

direction for the best reception.

󳢯If the reception is poor with the AM loop antenna, an AM outdoor antenna can be used in place of the AM loop antenna. 󳢯Make connections firmly and correctly. If not, it can cause loss of sound, noise or damage to the receiver. 󳢯If the electricity fails or the AC input cord is left unplugged for more than 2 weeks, the memorized contents will be cleared.

Should this happen, memorize them again.
