Akai QZ-503R Series

Antenna placement
Do not place the AM loop antenna on top of the tuner or any
other metal encased object as this could result in noise in-
terference. It should also not be placed near a CD player,
computer or TV set.
The FM antenna should be attached to a wall etc., after be-
ing unwound and extended to its full length.
FM antennas
FM broadcasts provide excellent sound quality, but in order
to take advantage of this, the radio waves must be received
properly. We recommend that you select an antenna appro-
priate for your area. ,
AUX input terminals
These are input terminals for analog connection of external
components. Playback of an external cassette deck or LD
player etc., is possible by connecting these terminals to the
pin jack output terminals of the connecting component.
Cassette deck, LD etc.
Audio connection cord
Digital output (optical) terminal (CD-500)
This is the optical output terminal for the CD’s digital signal.
Normally, connect this terminal to this system’s MD recorder
DIGITAL IN terminal using an optical fibre cable. If not con-
nected, digital recording of CDs to the MD is not possible.
Digital recording to other components is also possible by
connecting this terminal to the digital (optical) input terminal
of digital recording components the such as an MD, DAT
etc..

Digital (optical) input/output terminal
(MD500)
Normally, connect the input terminal to the digital (optical)
output terminal of this system’s CD player using an optical
fibre cable. This connection allows recording of the CD's digital
signal to the MD.
Digital recording to other components is also possible by
connecting an MD, DVD or external BS broadcast compo-
nent etc., that has a digital (optical) output terminal.
Although the sampling frequency of a DAT or BS broadcast
differs, the frequency will be converted automatically.
The MD’s digital (optical) signal is output from the output
terminal. The digital (optical) input terminal of an external
component can be connected here for digital signal connec-
tion.
