Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals, connecting cords and power cord. This could cause poor reception.

If reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinyl-covered wire to the AM EXT terminal. (Keep the AM loop antenna connected.)

You can connect the following speakers:

Two pairs of front speakers to produce normal stereo sound.

One pair of rear speakers to enjoy the surround effect.

One center speaker to produce more effective surround effect (to emphasize human voices).

IMPORTANT:

To obtain the best possible output power from the receiver, and to prevent the receiver from being overheated, the receiver has the SPEAKER LOAD SELECTOR which has to be set as follows:

Set it to the HIGH position when the impedance of the front speakers connected is within the range of 8 ohms to 16 ohms.

Set it to the LOW position when the impedance of the front speakers connected is within the range of 4 ohms to 6 ohms.
