Hooking Up the System
At first, this section describes about the antenna connection and then the connection
with the other equipment. After that, it shows about the speaker connection and about
the AC outlet.
• Do not connect the power cord to an AC outlet nor press
the POWER switch before accomplishing all other
connections.
• The cable connectors should be fully inserted into the
jacks. Loose connection may cause hum and noise.
• Jacks and plugs of the connecting cord are color-coded
as follows:
Red jacks and plugs: For the right channel of audio
signals
White jacks and plugs: For the left channel of audio
signals
Yellow jacks and plugs: For video signals
Connecting an FM Antenna
Though the wire antenna is supplied with this unit, the higher
quality sound will be obtained with the 75-ohm coaxial
cable.
Connecting an AM Antenna
The AM broadcast is enough received with the supplied AM
loop antenna. However, the connection of insulated wire is
also available for areas with difficult AM reception.
For areas with difficult AM reception
In areas with troubled reception, connect a 6 to 15-meter
(20 to 50-feet) insulated wire to the AM antenna terminal.
Extend this out of doors if possible, keeping the greater
portion horizontal.
(There is no need to disconnect the supplied antenna.)
6
To prevent hum
Connect the ground wire to ANTENNA ground terminal (rP).
When an outdoor antenna is installed, be sure to connect
the ground wire for lightning protection.

The STR-D1011 has the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR for front
speakers.
When using the front speakers having nominal impedance
from.,4 ohms or higher, set to the 4 Q. position.
When using the front speakers having nominal impedance
from 8 ohms or higher, set to the 8 Q position.
Note

Note
When connecting the speaker cord to the speaker terminal,
make sure that the polarity (+ and -) of the speaker cord is
correct. If the polarity is reversed at either speaker, the
sound will be distorted and will lack bass.
Connecting to the Power Outlet
By connecting the power cord of the other audio equipment
to SWITCHED AC OUTLET, this unit can supply the power
source to the other audio equipment.
