Conventions about this manual

< The types of functions and operations that can be used for a

particular disc vary depending on the features of that disc. In some cases, these func tions and operations may differ from the descriptions given in this manual. In this event, follow the instructions given on the screen. This manual only covers basic disc operations.

< For some operations, the PROHIBIT icon “A” may appear on the

screen. This indicates that the operation described in this manual is not permitted for the current disc.

Connecting Antennas (2)

Multi-element

Dipole

FM Outdoor Antenna

In an area where FM signals are weak, it will be necessary to use a 75 Ω unbalanced-type 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 DAB/FM indoor antenna when using an outdoor

antenna.

DAB Outdoor Antenna

In an area where DAB signals are weak, it will be necessary to use an outdoor DAB antenna. There are 2 major types available.

Dipole:

For use in marginal signal areas. This typ e of antenna is omni directional and should increase the strength of all DAB stations being received.

Multi-element antenna:

Also for use in marginal or poor signal areas. This type of antenna is directional and has high gain. This antenna needs to be pointed at the transmitter you want to listen to.

< Disconnect the DAB/FM indoor antenna when using an outdoor

antenna.

< It is possible to use a TV antenna or an FM antenna to receive DAB

signals. This may give a stronger signal than an indoor antenna. You would need to change the plug on your TV/FM antenna to an F type, and it may also be necessary to use a signal booster to enhance the signal.

Speaker Connection

Subwoofer

Caution:

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

Before connection

Check the impedance of your speakers. Connect speaker with an impedance of 4 Ω 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 sp eake r cables for conn ection by stripping of f approximately 10 mm or less of the outer insulation. 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. Removing too much insulation may lead to a short circuit if the bared wired should come in contact with each other. 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.
