Ground wire

75 ohm coaxial cable

Supplied FM antenna

Connect the FM antenna wire to the FM 75 OHMS terminal and position the FM antenna wire in the direction where the strongest signal can be received.

Supplied AM loop antenna

Connect the AM loop antenna wire to the AM and GND termi- nals.

Position the AM loop antenna for optimum reception. Place the AM loop antenna on a shelf, etc., or attach it to a stand or a wall with screws (not supplied).

Notes:

●When static is still heard even after adjusting the position of the AM loop antenna, try reversing the wire connections.

●Do not place the AM loop antenna and the FM antenna wire on the unit. It may result in noise generation, since the unit is equipped with digital electronics.

Place the AM loop antenna and the FM antenna wire away from the unit for better reception.

●If the AM loop antenna and the FM antenna wire are placed near the AC power cord, interference may result.

Outdoor FM antenna

Use an outdoor FM antenna (75 ohm coaxial cable) if you require better reception. Consult your dealer.

Note:

●When an outdoor FM antenna is used, disconnect the sup- plied FM antenna wire from the FM 75 OHMS terminal.

Outdoor AM antenna

Use an outdoor AM antenna if you need better reception. Con- sult your dealer.

Note:

●When using an outdoor AM antenna, be sure to keep the wire of the AM loop antenna connected.

Connect each speaker wire to the SPEAKER terminals as shown.

Use speakers with an impedance of 6 ohms or more, as lower impedance speakers can damage the unit.

Caution:

●Before connecting the speakers to the unit, connect the speaker wires to the speakers first. Then, connect the speaker wires to the terminals on the unit.

●Connect the speakers to the main unit before you use the system. If the speakers are not connected before opera- tion, the system may be damaged.

Notes:

●Connect the black wire to the minus (–) terminal, and the red wire to the plus (+) terminal.

●Do not mix the right channel and left channel wiring when connecting the speakers to the unit.

●Do not let bare speaker wires touch each other as this may damage the amplifier and/or speakers.
