Getting Started

Supplied Accessories

Make sure that you have all the following items.
The number in the parentheses indicates the quantity of the pieces supplied.

• AM loop antenna (1)
• FM antenna (1)
• Remote control (1)
• Batteries (2)
• Speaker cords (2 sets)

If anything is missing, consult your dealer immediately.

Putting the Batteries into the Remote Control

Insert the batteries — R6(SUM-3)/AA(15F) — into the remote control, by matching the polarity (+ and –) on the batteries with the + and – markings on the battery compartment.
When the remote control can no longer operate the unit, replace both batteries at the same time.

• DO NOT use an old battery together with a new one.
• DO NOT use different types of batteries together.
• DO NOT expose batteries to heat or flame.
• DO NOT leave the batteries in the battery compartment when you are not going to use the remote control for an extended period of time. Otherwise, it will be damaged from battery leakage.

Connecting Antennas

FM antenna

1. Attach the FM antenna to the FM 75 Ω COAXIAL terminal.
2. Extend the FM antenna.
3. Fasten it up in the position which gives you the best reception, then fix it on the wall, etc.

About the supplied FM antenna
The FM antenna supplied with this unit can be used as temporary measure. If reception is poor, you can connect an outdoor FM antenna.
To connect an outdoor FM antenna
Before connecting it, disconnect the supplied FM antenna. AM antenna

1. Connect the AM loop antenna to the AM LOOP terminals as illustrated.
   If the AM loop antenna wire is covered with vinyl, remove the vinyl by twisting it as shown in the diagram.

2. Turn the AM loop antenna until you have the best reception.

To connect an outdoor AM antenna
When reception is poor, connect a single vinyl-covered wire to the AM EXT terminal and extend it horizontally. (The AM loop antenna must remain connected.)

For better reception of both FM and AM

• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals and connecting cords.
• Keep the antennas away from metallic parts of the unit, connecting cords, and the AC power cord.

Connecting Speakers

1. Press and hold the clamp of the speaker terminal on the rear of the unit.

2. Insert the end of the speaker cord into the terminal.
   Match the polarity of the speaker terminals: Red (+) to red (+) and black (–) to black (–), gray (+) to gray (+) and blue (–) to blue (–).
   Remove the vinyl covering the wire by twisting it as shown in the diagram.

3. Release the finger from the clamp.

IMPORTANT: Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance as indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of the unit.

To remove the speaker grilles
The speaker grilles are removed as the illustrations below.

To remove the speaker grille, inserting your fingers at the top of the speaker grille, pull towards you. Then pull the bottom towards you.
To attach the speaker grille, put the projections of the speaker grille into the holes of the speaker.

Connecting Other Equipment

You can connect both of the analog and digital equipment.

• DO NOT connect any equipment while the power is on.
• DO NOT plug in any equipment until all connections are complete.

To connect audio equipment
Be sure that the plugs of the audio cords are colored: White plugs and jacks are for left audio signals, and red ones for right audio signals.

By using audio cords (not supplied), connect:

• Between the audio input jacks on the other equipment and AUX OUT jacks: For recording on the other equipment.
• Between the audio output jacks on the other equipment and AUX IN jacks: For playing the other equipment.

To connect audio equipment with an optical digital input terminal
You can record CD sound onto the connected digital equipment.

Connect an optical digital cord (not supplied) between the optical digital input terminal on the other equipment and the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT terminal.

Now, you can plug the AC power cord.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to check all connections to be done before plugging the AC power cord into a wall outlet.

Common Operations

Turning On the Power

When you press the play button — CD , TAPE , or the source selecting button — FM/AM, and MD/AUX, the unit automatically turns on and starts playback if the source is ready.

To turn on the unit, press (STANDBY/ON). The STANDBY/ON lamp on the unit lights green.

To turn off the unit (on standby), press
(STANDBY/ON) again.

Recording

IMPORTANT:

• It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast or cable programme and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic embodied therein.
• The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the VOLUME, AHB (Active Hyper Bass) PRO, and SOUND MODE settings. Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.
• If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static, the unit may be too close to a TV. Increase the distance between the TV and the unit.
• You can use type I tape for recording.

To protect your recording
Cassettes have two small tabs on the back to protect from unexpected erasure or re-recording. To protect your recording, remove these tabs.
To re-record on a protected tape, cover the holes with adhesive tape.
To keep the best recording and playback sound quality
If the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers of the cassette decks become dirty, the following will occur:

• Impaired sound quality
• Discontinuous sound
• Fading
• Incomplete erasure
• Difficulty in recording

To clean the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers
Use a cotton swab moistened with alcohol.

To demagnetize the heads
Turn off the unit, and use a head demagnetizer (available at electronics and audio shops).

At the start and end of cassette tapes
