SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES

1. To assure the finest performance, please read this manual

carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.

2. Install this unit in a cool, dry, clean place – away from

windows, heat sources, sources of excessive vibration, dust, moisture and cold. Avoid sources of humming (transformers, motors). To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not expose the unit to rain or water.

3. Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the set,

contact your dealer.

4. Do not use force on switches, controls or connection wires.

When moving the unit, first disconnect the power plug and the wires connected to other equipment. Never pull the wires themselves.

5. The openings on the cabinet assure proper ventilation of

the unit. If these openings are obstructed, the temperature inside the cabinet will rise rapidly. Therefore, avoid placing objects against these openings, and install the unit in wellventilated condition. Be sure to allow a space of at least 20 cm behind, 20 cm on the both sides and 30 cm above the top panel of the unit. Otherwise it may not only damage the unit, but also cause fire.

6. Always set the VOLUME control to “–

∞

” before starting the audio source play. Increase the volume gradually to an appropriate level after playback has been started.

7. Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents;

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

8. Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section

regarding common operating errors before concluding that the unit is faulty.

9. When not planning to use this unit for long periods of time

(ie., vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet.

10.To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power

plug and antenna cable when there is an electrical storm.

11.Grounding or polarization – Precautions should be taken

so that the grounding or polarization of an appliance is not defeated.

12.Do not connect audio equipment to the AC outlet on the

rear panel if the equipment requires more power than the outlet is rated to provide.

13.Voltage Selector (General Model only)

The voltage selector on the rear panel of this unit must be set for your local main voltage BEFORE plugging into the AC main supply. Voltages are 110/120/220/240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.

IMPORTANT

Please record the serial number of this unit in the space below.

Model: Serial No.: The serial number is located on the rear of the unit.

Retain this Owner’s Manual in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

This unit is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if this unit itself is turned off. This state is called the standby mode. In this state, this unit is designed to consume a very small quantity of power.

FREQUENCY STEP switch (General Model only)

Because the interstation frequency spacing differs in different areas, set the FREQUENCY STEP switch (located at the rear) according to the frequency spacing in your area. Before setting this switch, disconnect the AC power plug of this unit from the AC outlet.

FOR CANADIAN CUSTOMERS

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT AND FULLY INSERT.

THIS CLASS B DIGITAL APPARATUS MEETS ALL REQUIREMENTS OF THE CANADIAN INTERFERENCECAUSING EQUIPMENT REGULATIONS.

CAUTION : READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT.

English

Battery installation

Battery replacement

If you find that the remote control transmitter must be used closer to the main unit, the batteries are weak. Replace both batteries with new ones.

Notes

●

Use only AA, R6, UM-3 batteries for replacement.

●

Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration inside the battery compartment.)

●

Remove the batteries if the remote control transmitter is not used for an extended period of time.

●

If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching the leaked material or letting it come in contact with clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries.

Remote control transmitter operation range

Notes

●

There should be no large obstacles between the remote control transmitter and the main unit.

●

If the remote control sensor is directly illuminated by strong lighting (especially an inverter type of fluorescent lamp etc.), it might cause the remote control transmitter not to work correctly. In this case, reposition the main unit to avoid direct lighting.

NOTES ABOUT THE REMOTE CONTROL TRANSMITTER

WARNING Do not change the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch setting while the power to this unit is on, otherwise this unit may be damaged.

IF THIS UNIT FAILS TO TURN ON WHEN THE STANDBY/ON SWITCH IS PRESSED;

The IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch may not be set to either end. If so, set the switch to either end when this unit is in the standby mode.

AC OUTLETS (SWITCHED)

(U.S.A., Canada, Europe and General models)

......................................................... 2 SWITCHED OUTLETS

(U.K. and Australia models) ................ 1 SWITCHED OUTLET

Use these to connect the power cords from your components to this unit. The power to the SWITCHED outlets is controlled by this unit’s STANDBY/ON switch or the provided remote control transmitter’s STANDBY/ON key. These outlets will supply power to any component whenever this unit is turned on. The maximum power (total power consumption of components) that can be connected to the SWITCHED AC OUTLETS is 100 watts.

GND terminal (For turntable use)

Connecting the ground wire of the turntable to the GND terminal will normally minimize hum, but in some cases better results may be obtained with the ground wire disconnected.

How to Connect:

Red: positive (+) Black: negative (–)

➀

Unscrew the knob.

➁

Insert the bare wire. [Remove approx. 5mm (1/4”) insulation from the speaker wires.]

➂

Tighten the knob and secure the wire.

Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire of the proper gauge (cut as short as possible). If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is correct, that is the + and – markings are observed. If these wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.

Caution Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or speakers.

CONNECTING SPEAKERS

Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear of this unit.

Note

One or two speaker systems can be connected to this unit. If you use only one speaker system, connect it to either the

SPEAKERS A or B terminals.

<U.S.A., Canada, Australia and General models only>

Banana Plug connections are also possible. Simply insert the Banana Plug connector into the corresponding terminal.

Be sure to switch the position only when the power to this unit is not on. Select the position whose requirements your speaker system meets.

(Left position)

If you use one pair of speakers, the impedance of each speaker must be 4Ω or higher. If you use two pairs of speakers, the impedance of each speaker must be 8Ω or higher.

(Right position)

If you use one pair of speakers, the impedance of each speaker must be 6Ω or higher.

If you use two pairs of speakers, the impedance of each speaker must be 12Ω or higher.

The impedance of each speaker must be 6Ω or higher.

If you use one pair of speakers, the impedance of each speaker must be 8Ω or higher. If you use two pairs of speakers, the impedance of each speaker must be 16Ω or higher.

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS

●

Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminal(s) correctly, referring to the following diagram.

●

Both AM and FM indoor antennas are supplied to this unit. In general, these antennas will provide sufficient signal strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.

Connecting the AM loop antenna

* The AM loop antenna should be placed apart from the main unit. The antenna may be hung on a wall. * The AM loop antenna should be kept connected, even if an outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.

GND terminal

For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect the GND terminal to a good earth ground, which is a metal stake driven into moist earth.

Notes

●

When connecting the indoor FM antenna, insert its connector into the FM ANT terminal firmly.

●

If you need an outdoor FM antenna to improve FM reception quality, either 300-ohm feeder or coaxial cable may be used. In locations troubled by electrical interference, a coaxial cable is preferable.
