Safety Precautions

Handling the unit

When shipping the unit

The original shipping carton and packing materials
come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the
unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

To keep the surface clean

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray,
near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in
contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will
leave marks on the surface.

Cleaning the unit

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty,
use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Do not use strong solvents, such as alcohol,
benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface
of the unit.

Notes on Discs

Handling discs

Do not touch the playback side of the disc.
Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not
get on the surface.
Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

Storing discs

After playing, store the disc in its case.
Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of
heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sun­light, as there may be a considerable temperature
increase inside the car.

Cleaning discs

Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor pic­ture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean
the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the cen­ter out.

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,
thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static
spray intended for analog records.

Connections

Speaker System Connection

Connect the speakers using the supplied speaker cords by matching the colors of the terminals and those of the
cords. To obtain the best possible surround sound, adjust the speaker parameters (distance, level, etc.).

Notes

• Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: + to + and – to –. If the cords
are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack base.

• If you use front speakers with low maximum input rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive output on
the speakers.

• Do not disassemble the front cover of supplied speaker

.

Antenna (Aerial) Connections

Connect the supplied FM/AM antennas for listening to the radio.

• Connect the AM loop antenna to the AM antenna connector.

• Connect the FM wire antenna (or FM “T” antenna) to the FM 75Ω/300Ω coaxial connector.

Notes

•To prevent noise pickup, keep the AM loop antenna away from the unit and other components.

• Be sure to fully extend the FM wire antenna.

• After connecting the FM wire antenna, keep it as horizontal as possible.

OPTICAL (Digital audio out jack) connection

(OPTIONAL)

Connecting to an amplifier equipped with two channel analog
stereo or Dobly Surround.
