Installing the FM indoor antenna

Tune in an FM station (Refer to page 11.), set the antenna in a position in which distortion and noise is minimum, then fasten the tip of the antenna in this position using tape or a pin.

FM antenna

Installing the AM loop antenna

Tune in an AM station (Refer to page 11.) and set the antenna in a position as far from the system as possible in which distortion and noise is minimum. In some cases it is best to invert the polarities.

AM broadcasts cannot be received well if the loop antenna is not connected or if it is set close to metal objects.

Assembling the AM loop antenna

Check that the following parts are included in the package aside from the main unit:

2BEFORE USING

Read the following before using the system.

Before turning on the power

Check again that all connections are correct and that there are no problems with the connection cords. Be sure to unplug the power cord before connecting or disconnecting the connection cords.

Humming may be produced if this system is set near a TV or other audio equipment.

If this happens, try changing the position of the equipment or the connection cords.

Moving the system

Be sure to remove CDs before moving the system. If a CD is left in the CD player, it may be scratched. To prevent short-circuits or damage to the connection cords, always unplug the power cord and disconnect all connection cords to other audio equipment.

Condensation (dew)

Condensation (water droplets) may be produced on internal optical lenses or discs in the following cases:

Directly after a heater is turned on.

When the system is in a steamy or humid room.

When the system is moved abruptly from a cold place (room) to a warm room.

Should condensation occur:

The signals on the disc cannot be read and the system will not function properly. Remove the disc then let the system set with the power on. The condensation will evaporate in one hour or less, at which time the system will function normally.

Note that some of the illustrations used for explanations in this manual may differ from the actual system.

If good reception cannot be achieved with the included FM antenna, use an FM outdoor antenna. Connect an F-shaped connector to the coaxial cable and connect the antenna to the FM COAX (75

/ohms) terminal.

Selecting a place for the FM outdoor antenna

Set the antenna so that it is pointing towards the broadcast station’s transmitting antenna. Behind buildings or mountains, set the antenna in the position at which reception is best, and also try changing the direction of the antenna.

Do not install the antenna under power lines. Doing so is extremely dangerous, as the power line could touch the antenna.

Install the antenna away from roads or train tracks to avoid noise from cars or trains.

Do not install the antenna too high, as it may be hit by lightning.

Installing an AM outdoor antenna

Connect the signal wire from the AM outdoor antenna to the antenna terminal. Be sure to ground the antenna and connect the ground wire to the GND terminal. Also be sure to connect the included AM loop antenna.
