System Connections

When making system connections, please be certain the AC cord is not plugged into an AC outlet.

When making connections between components, please be sure to connect the white RCA plugs to the L(left) and the red RCA plugs to the R(right) jacks respectively.

Change the position of the FM indoor antenna until you get the best reception of your favorite FM stations. A 75 Ω outdoor FM antenna may be used to further improve the reception.

Disconnect the indoor antenna before replacing it with the outdoor one.

Place the AM loop antenna as far as possible from the receiver, TV set, speaker cords and the AC input cord and set it to a direction for the best reception.

If the reception is poor with the AM loop antenna, an AM outdoor antenna can be used in place of the AM loop antenna. Make connections firmly and correctly. If not, it can cause loss of sound, noise or damage to the receiver.

If the electricity fails or the AC input cord is left unplugged for more than 2 weeks, the memorized contents will be cleared. Should this happen, memorize them again.
