AM Antenna
An AM loop antenna is included in the installation in-
structions bag. Insert it into the holder on the rear panel.
Swing one end of the antenna away from the rear panel
to the position that gives the best reception. If reception
is stdl unsatisfactory, completely remove the loop antenna
from the rear panel and hang !tt on a wall or other surface
in the position that gives the best reception. Be sure the
antenna is not near speakers, power cords, television sets,
VCRs, and motorized appliances. When using an outdoor
AM antenna, do not remove the loop antenna. Connect
both antennas to the AM antenna terminals.
NOTE:
| AM reception its easily affected by television sets and
VCRs. Therefore, AM reception may be poor :f this unit
is placed too closed to a TV or VCR.
Speaker Connections
When connecting speakers, proper polarity is important.
Always connect the (+) terminal (red) on the amplifier to
the (+) terminal on the speaker and the (—) terminal (black)
on the amplifier to the (—) terminal on the speaker.
@ Speaker load impedance Is very important. Only speaker
systems rated at 8 ohms or more should be used with
this unit. If only one pair of speakers is used, the load
impedance must be at least 4 ohms.
@ Do not connect a single speaker in parallel to the right
and left channe! outputs.
@ Use speaker cables that have a low impedance and that
are as short as possible.
# Aitach speaker cables to the rear panel Speaker terminals
with care, being sure that connections are made firmly
and that there is no possibility of a short circuit occurring.
Turntable Connections
Connect the output leads of the turntable to the PHONO
jacks.
Be sure to connect the ground (earth) lead wire from the
turntable to the ground terminal (GND). Lack of proper
ground connection will cause hum. Turntables not pro-
vided with GND wires do not need to be connected.
1. Place the turntable on a firm shelf or deck free from
vibrations (especially those generated by the speaker
system). If the turntable is permitted to pick up such
unwanted vibrations, not only will the performance of
the unit drop, but distortion in the bass frequencies and
howling tn the speakers may also occur.
2. Check the turntable instruction manual for any ather
precautions.
3. The loud noises that occur when connecting and dis-
connecting the turntable leads, replacing the cartridge
or lowering the tonearm could damage the speakers.
Always turn the power switch off before making con-
nections.
4. lf a compatible Onkyo remote contro} turntable is used
with this unit, the TX-84 remote controller can also be
used to start and stop turntable operation. In this case,
connect the supplied phono DIN cord plug to the DIN
type remote control jack on the turntable and the
turntable remote control jack on the rear panel of TX-84.
5. The turntable can be remotely controlled only with the
TX-84.
