ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
●
Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following figure.
●
Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably 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. A good earth ground is
a metal stake driven into moist earth.
Notes
●
When connecting the indoor
FM antenna, make sure that
the grooved part of the
connector hole is facing
downward.
●
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, coaxial cable is preferable.
Orient so that the best
reception is obtained.

NOTES ABOUT THE REMOTE CONTROL TRANSMITTER
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 will
not be 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.

transmitter
Remote control
The sound is degraded when monitoring is
performed by using the headphones connected
to the compact disc player or cassette deck
which are connected with this unit.
CAUSE
Power cord is not plugged in or is not completely
inserted.
Incorrect output cord connections.
Appropriate input selector button is not pressed.
The protection circuit has activated because of
short circuit etc.
Incorrect setting of the BALANCE control
Incorrect cord connection.
Incorrect cord connections.
No connection from the turntable to the GND
terminal.
The record is being played on a turntable with an
MC cartridge.
The power to the component connected to the REC
OUT terminals of this unit is off.
Because of the characteristics of FM stereo
broadcasts, this is limited to cases where the
transmitter is too far or the antenna input is poor.
There is multipath interference.
The station is too weak.
Weak signal or loose antenna connections.
Noises will result from ligtning, fluorescent lamps,
motors, thermostats and other electrical equipment.
A television set is being used nearby.
Direct sunlight or lighting (of an inverter type of
flourescent lamp etc.) is striking the remote control
sensor of the main unit.
The batteries of this remote control transmitter are
too weak.
The power to this unit is off.
REMEDY
Firmly plug in the power cord.
Connect the cords properly. If the problem persists,
the cords may be defective.
Press the appropriate input selector button
corresponding to the input source.
Turning the unit off and then on will reset the
protection circuit.
Adjust it to the appropriate position.
Connect the cord properly. If the problem persists,
the cables may be defective.
Firmly connect the audio plugs. If the problem
persists, the cord may be defective.
Make the GND connection between the turntable
and this unit.
The player should be connected to the receiver
through the MC head amplifier.
Turn the power to the component on.
Check the antenna connections.
Try using a multiple element FM antenna.
Adjust antenna placement to eliminate multipath
interference.
Use Manual tuning mode.
Use high quality directional FM antenna.
Use Manual tuning mode.
Tighten the AM loop antenna connections and
rotate it for best reception.
Use an outdoor antenna and a ground wire. This
will help somewhat but it is difficult to eliminate all
noises.
Relocate this unit away from the TV.
Change position of the main unit.
Replace the batteries with new ones.
Turn the power to this unit on.
