ANTENNA INSTALLATION
© FM ANTENNA
The supplied indoor FM antenna can be used inside wooden
houses for receiving local FM stations and other strong FM
signals. Stretch out the end of the antenna and mount the
antenna on the wall or ceiling where optimum reception is
achieved. An indoor FM antenna may not consistently ensure
stable reception, due to environment changes. In such cases,
the indoor FM antenna should only be used temporarily until an
outdoor FM antenna has been installed.
‘When connecting an outdoor FM antenna, the use of 75 ohm
coaxial cable (3C-2V, 6C-2V) is strongly recommended.
e AM ANTENNA
Attach the supplied AM loop antenna even when using an
outdoor AM antenna.
Connect the leads to the AM and GND terminats.
Also use the AM terminals for connecting an outdoor AM
antenna (when making such a connection do not disconnect
the AM loop antenna).
Adjust the loop antenna to obtain optimum reception. Where
broadcast stations are distant and only weak signals are
received or where signats are blocked, it is best to install an
outdoor AM antenna.
Notes on Connection
* Donot plug the power cord into the AC wait outlet untit ail
connections have been completed.
* Make sure channels are correctly connected. Connect
Left channels to Left channeis and Right channels to
Right channels. Follow the color markings of plugs and
terminats to make sure mistakes are not made.
Connect all pin-plugs securely, pushing them completely
info the jacks incomplete connections will cause noise
generation.
Binding the connection cabies to power cords, or running
such cables close to power supply transformers will
cause humming or noise, and should thus be avoided.
[connecting the front speaker terminals | the front speaker terminals
1. Loosen by turning counterclockwise.
2. Insert the cord and tighten by tuming clockwise.
w- p-w
* Remove the tie fastening the loop antenna’s lead
and connect the lead to the antenna terminats.
Notes:
Do not connect two FM antennas simultaneously.
Even ifan extemal AM antennais used, donot disconnect
the AM loop antenna.
Make sure AM loop antenna lead terminals do not touch
metal parts of the panel.
CAUTION
Protective Circuit
This set is equipped with a high speed protective circuit.
This circuit protects the intamal circuitry from damage due
to large currents flowing when the speaker jacks are not
completely connected or when an output is generated by
a short circuit.
This protective circuit's operation cuts off the output to the
speakers. In such a case, be sure ta tum the power to the
set off and check the connections fo the speakers. Then
tum the power on again. After muting for several seconds,
the set will operate normally.
