System Connections

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 cords to the L (left) and the red RCA pin cords to the R (right) jacks when making audio connections.

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 several days, the memorized contents will be cleared. Should this happen, memorized them again.

1. CONNECTING ANTENNAs

• Change the position of the FM indoor antenna until you get the best reception of your favorite FM stations.

• A 75Ω 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.

2. CONNECTING PHONO

■Note

•Do not connect the turntable with MC type cartridge directly. If so, use a separate head amplifier or step-up transformer.
