Precautions

1. Warranty Claim You can nd the serial number on the rear panel of this unit. In case of warranty claim, please report this number. 2. Recording Copyright Recording of copyrighted material for other than personal use is illegal without permission of the copyright holder. 3. AC Fuse The fuse is located inside the chassis and is not user-serviceable. If power does not come on, contact your Onkyo authorized service station. 4. Care From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry, and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immediately with a clean cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical solvents or cloths since these could damage the nish or remove the panel lettering. 5. Power

Connecting the included antennas
Connecting the FM indoor antenna: The FM indoor antenna is for indoor use only. Extend the antenna and move it in various directions until the clearest signal is received. Fix it with push pins or similar implements in the position that will cause the least amount of distortion. If the reception is not very clear with the attached FM indoor antenna, the use of an outdoor antenna is recommended.

ANTENNA

Remove the insulation at the tip of the cable, and insert the cable securely, fully to the end of the exposed tip.
Connecting the AM loop antenna: The AM loop antenna is for indoor use only. Set it in the direction and position where you receive the clearest sound. Put it as far away as possible from the unit, TVs, speaker cables, and power cords. When reception is not satisfactory with the attached AM loop antenna alone, connection of an outdoor antenna is recommended.
Connecting an FM outdoor antenna
Please make sure that you follow the considerations below regarding the location. Keep the antenna away from noise sources (neon signs, busy roads, etc.). It is dangerous to put the antenna close to power lines. Keep it well away from power lines, transformers, etc.
To avoid the risk of lightning and electrical shock, grounding is
necessary. Follow item 14 of the Important Safeguards on page 2 when you install the outdoor antenna.
