Connecting Antennas

FM Indoor Antenna

Connect the lead-type FM antenna to the FM 75Ω socket,
extend the lead and tune the tuner to your favorite station
(see page 13). Adjust the antenna in a suitable location like a
window frame or wall until the reception is best and then
affix the antenna in that position using thumb tacks, push
pins or any other suitable means.

FM Outdoor Antenna

In an area where FM signals are weak, it will be necessary to
use an outdoor FM antenna. Generally, a 3-element antenna
will be sufficient; if you live in an area where the FM signals
are particularly weak, it may be necessary to use one with 5
or more elements.

<

Disconnect the FM indoor antenna when using an outdoor
antenna.

Remote Control Unit

The receiver and some other TEAC components which have
mark on the front panel can be operated by the provided “UR”
remote control unit.

When operating the remote control unit, point it towards the
REMOTE SENSOR on the front panel of the receiver (or other
TEAC component).

<

Even if the remote control unit is operated within the effective
range, remote control operation may be impossible if there
are any obstacles between the unit and the remote control.

<

If the remote control unit is operated near other appliances
which generate infrared rays, or if other remote control
devices using infrared rays are used near the unit, it may
operate incorrectly. Conversely, the other appliances may
operate incorrectly.

Battery Installation

1. Remove the battery compartment cover.

2. Insert two “AA” (R6 or SUM-3) dry batteries. Make sure that
the batteries are inserted with their positive “+” and negative
“_

” poles positioned correctly.

negative “_

” polarities.

<

Use batteries of the same type. Never use different types of
batteries together.

<

Rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries can be used.
Refer to the precautions on their labels.

<

When the remote control unit is not to be used for a long
time (more than a month), remove the batteries from the
remote control unit to prevent them from leaking. If they leak,
wipe away the liquid inside the battery compartment and
replace the batteries with new ones.

<

AM Indoor Loop Antenna

The high-performance AM loop antenna provided with this
unit is sufficient for good reception in most areas.
To stand the loop antenna on a surface, fix the claw to the
slot in the antenna base.

Connect the loop antenna’s wires to the AM antenna
terminals.

How to connect:

Press the lever, insert the end of the cord,
then release the lever. Make sure it is
fastened securely by pulling the cord lightly.
Make sure only the bare, stripped wire is
inserted in the jack and that no plastic
insulation is preventing contact between the
antenna wire and terminal.

Place the antenna on a shelf or hang it on a window frame,
etc., in the direction which gives the best reception. Keep all
other wires such as power cords, speaker wires or
interconnect wires as far away as possible from the antenna.

AM Outdoor Antenna

If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver sufficient
reception (often due to being too far from the transmitter or
in a concrete building, etc.), it may be necessary to use an
outdoor AM antenna.

Use either a high quality commercial AM antenna or, if not
available, an insulated wire more than 5 m (15 feet) long,
strip one end, and connect this to the terminal as shown.
The antenna wire should be strung outdoors or indoors near
a window. For better reception, connect the GND terminal to
a reliable ground.

Note:

Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do not disconnect
the AM loop antenna.

AM Outdoor Antenna

AM Loop Antenna:
Connect the black wire
to the left jack (GND)
and the white wire to
the right jack.

Speaker Connections

Caution:

To avoid damaging the speakers with a sudden high-level
signal, be sure to switch the power off before connecting
the speakers.

<

Check the impedance of your speakers. Connect speaker
with an impedance of 8 ohms or more.

< The black speaker terminals are - (negative).

Generally, the + side of the speaker cable is marked to make
it distinguishable from the - side of the cable. Connect this
marked side to the + terminal and the unmarked side to the
black - terminal.

<

Prepare the speaker cables for connection by stripping off
approximately 10 mm or less of the outer insulation.
(Removing too much insulation may lead to a short circuit if
the bared wires should come in contact with each other.)
Twist the strands of the stripped wires tightly together:

Caution:

The metal portions of the two separate wires should not
touch or an electrical short can occur. Shorted wires can
create a fire hazard or induce a failure in your equipment.

How to connect

1.Turn the terminal cap counterclockwise to loosen it. The
speaker terminal caps cannot be fully removed from the base.

2.Insert the wire into the terminal fully and turn the terminal
cap clockwise to securely connect it .
Make sure none of the wire insulation is under the terminal,
only the bare, stripped wire.

3.Make sure it is fastened firmly by pulling the cable lightly.
