AM Antenna AM Indoor Loop Antenna
A high-performance AM loop antenna provided with the receiver is sufficient for good reception in most areas. Connect the loop antennas wires to the AM antenna terminals as shown. Place the antenna on a shelf, for example, or hang it on a window frame, etc., in the direction which gives the best reception, as far away as possible from the system, speaker cords and the power cord, to prevent unwanted noise.
Connecting Speaker Systems
Caution : To avoid damaging the speakers by inputting a sudden high-level signal, be sure to switch the power off before connecting the speakers. Connect the cable from each speaker to the corresponding terminal on the rear of the receiver. Most speaker cables have different markings, textures or colors to help you tell the difference between negative and positive. Be sure to connect the positive (+) terminal on each speaker to the positive (+) terminal on the receiver. Similarly, connect the negative (-) terminal on the speaker to negative (-) terminal on the receiver. Notes : Use speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms or more.

AM Outdoor Antenna

If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver sufficient reception (because you are too far from the transmitter or in a concrete building, etc.), it may be necessary to use an outdoor AM antenna. Use an insulated wire more than 15 ft (5 m) long, strip one end, and connect this to the terminal as shown. For better reception, connect the GND terminal to a reliable ground. Note : Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do not disconnect the AM loop antenna.

How to connect

(1) Strip back the cable covering by about 1 cm and twist the wire strands together. (2) Turn the terminal cap counterclockwise to loosen it. The speaker terminal caps cannot be fully removed from the base. (3) Insert the wire into the terminal fully and turn the terminal cap clockwise to securely connect it. (4) Make sure it is fastened firm by pulling the cable lightly.

Probable Cause

Remedy
An unusual hissing noise is heard when listening to the broadcast in stereo, but not heard when listening monaurally. Noise is excessive in both stereo and monaural broadcasts. A slight noise may be heard because the method used for modulation of FM stereo broadcasts is different than that used for monaural broadcasts. Poor location and/or direction of the antenna. Transmitting station is too far away. Sound is distorted and/or the volume level becomes low. Broadcast signals are being disturbed. Try reducing the treble sound by turning the treble controls. Try changing the location, height and/or direction of the antenna. Set the FM mode to monaural by pressing the STEREO/MONO button. (Note that the broadcast will then be heard as monaural sound). If an indoor antenna is being used, change to an outdoor antenna. Try using an antenna with more elements.

Choose the installation location of your unit carefully. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat. Also avoid locations subject to vibrations and excessive dust, heat, cold or moisture. Do not open the cabinet as this might result in damage to the circuitry or electrical shock. If a foreign object should get into the set, contact your dealer. When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull directly on the plug, never pull the cord. Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents as this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference. Remove all of the discs in the drawer when you move this system, to prevent discs from becoming stuck.

Handling the Discs

This unit has been designed specifically for playback of CDs, recordable Cds and re-writable Cds bearing the mark. Always place the compact disc in the disc drawer with the label facing upward.(compact discs can be played only on one side.) To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges. Finger marks and dust should be carefully wiped off the discs recorded surface with a soft cloth. Never use chemicals such as record sprays, antistatic sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean compact discs. Such chemicals will do irreparable damage to the discs plastic surface. Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid serious scratches that could cause the laser pickup to skip. Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high humidity and temperature for extended periods. Long exposure To high temperatures can warp the disc. Do not stick paper or write anything with a ballpoint pen on the surface of the label side.
