<To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.

How to remove the disc How to hold the disc

Storage precautions

<Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid dust and scratches that could cause the laser pickup to “skip.”

<Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high-temperature and humidity for extended periods. Long exposure to high temperatures will warp discs.

<CD-R and CD-RW discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is important that they are not stored in locations where they will be exposed to direct sunlight. They should also be kept away from sources of heat, such as radiators and heat-generating electrical devices.

Maintenance

<If a disc becomes dirty, wipe its surface radially from the center hole outward towards the outer edge with a soft, dry cloth.

e Main unit's terminals

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

2Insert the wire into the terminal fully and turn the terminal cap clockwise to securely connect it.

e Speaker's terminals

Press the lever, insert the end of the cord to the terminal, then release the lever.

<Make sure it is fastened securely by pulling the cord lightly.

<Make sure none of the wire insulation is under the terminal, only the bare, stripped wire.

ISUBWOOFER OUT

Connect a subwoofer using a commercially available RCA cable. Use a subwoofer with built-in amplifier referred to as a “powered subwoofer”.

JPower cord receptacle

After all other connections have been made, insert the supplied AC power cord into this receptacle, then connect the other end of the power cord into the wall socket.

Be sure to connect the power cord to an AC outlet which supplies the correct voltage.

In order to avoid the risk of electric shock, fire, and so on, use only the supplied power cord.

<If you are not going to use the unit for some time, disconnect the power cord from the wall socket.

AM/FM Outdoor 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 commercially available AM antenna or, if not available, an insulated wire more than 16 ft (5 m) long, strip one end, and connect this to the terminal as shown above.

<The antenna wire should be strung outdoors or indoors near a window. For better reception, connect the GND terminal to a reliable ground.

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

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 FM indoor antenna when using an FM outdoor antenna.

Remote Control Unit

The provided remote control unit allows the unit to be operated from a distance.

When operating the remote control unit, point it towards the remote sensor on the front panel of the unit.

<Even if the remote control unit is operated within the effective range (16 ft/5 m), 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 products 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 products may operate incorrectly.

Before use

Before using the remote control unit, pull out protection sheet from the battery compartment.
