Before Use

Read this before operation

As the unit may become warm during operation, always leave sufficient space around the unit for ventilation. The ventilation holes should not be covered. Make sure there is at least 20 cm of space above and at least 5 cm of space on each side of the unit. Do NOT place anything on top of the unit.

The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage as printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding this matter, consult an electrician.

Choose the installation location of your unit carefully. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat. Also avoid locations subject to vibrations and excessive dust, heat, cold or moisture.

Do not place the unit on the amplifier/receiver.

Do not open the cabinet as this might result in damage to the circuitry or electrical shock. If a foreign object should get into the unit, contact your dealer or service company.

When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull directly on the plug, never yank the cord.

< Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents as

this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry or slightly damp cloth.

Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

Reference 300mkIII

If you have TEAC Reference 300mkIII series, convenient system control operations and AI direct play functions are possible.

By pressing the STANDBY/ON button of A-H300mkIII , you can switch ON/standby all the unit connected by remote control cords.

When you press the PLAY button of a source, the INPUT SELECTOR of A-H300mk

III is set to the source automatically.

The source you select by the INPUT SELECTOR of A-H300mkIII will be played automatically.

When you turn on the system, the source that was selected last time will start playback automatically.

< You can use the system remote control unit to operate all the

unit connected by remote control cords.

Connect the REMOTE CONTROL jack (A or B) of each component by remote control cords.

System ConnectionRemote Control Unit

Remove the battery compartment cover. Insert two “AAA” (R03, UM-4) dry batteries. Make sure that

the batteries are inserted with their positive “+

” and negative

“_

” poles positioned correctly.

Close the cover.

Battery Replacement

If the distance required between the remote control unit and main unit decreases, the batteries are exhausted. In this case replace the batteries with new ones.

Precautions concerning batteries

Be sure to insert the batteries with correct positive “+” and 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.

Do not heat or disassemble batteries and never dispose of old batteries by throwing them in a fire.

The amplifier and Reference 300mkIII series connected by remote control cords can be operated by the provided remote control unit.

When operating the remote control unit, point it towards the REMOTE SENSOR on the front panel of the A-H300mk

III .

< 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

Dubbing

When you intend to dub a cassette tape using 2 sets of RH300mk

II , don’t connect the remote control cords to the

second deck. Please use the buttons on the front panel.

AUDIO IN/OUT jacks

Analog 2-channel audio signal is input or output from these jacks. Connect the component with commercially-available RCA cables.

Make sure to connect :

white plug q

white jack (L: left channel)

red plug q

red jack (R: right channel)

SIGNAL GND

Connect the ground lead of the turntable to this terminal.

This is not a safety earth.

AC OUTLET (unswitched)

Even when the unit is off, this outlet is active as long as the power cord is connected to an AC outlet.

Caution:

Make sure that the total power consumption of all equipment connected to the outlet(s) does not exceed 100 watts (or 500mA).

AC Power Cord

After all other connections have been completed, connect the plug to the AC wall socket.

Be sure to connect the power cord to an AC outlet which supplies the correct voltage. Hold the power plug when plugging or unplugging the power cord.

Speaker Terminals

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 6 to 16 ohms.

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 wired 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.
