FM antenna connection

Connect the supplied FM antenna to the FM 75 Ω COAXIAL terminal as temporary measure.

Extend the supplied FM antenna horizontally.

•If reception is poor, connect an outdoor antenna. Before attaching a 75 Ω coaxial cable (with a standard type connector), disconnect

the supplied FM antenna.

AM antenna connection

Connect the supplied AM loop antenna to the AM and H terminals. Turn the loop until you have the best reception.

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

Note:

If the AM loop antenna wire is covered with vinyl, remove

the vinyl by twisting it as shown in the diagram.

About the cooling fan

A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel of the center unit to prevent abnormal temperature inside the center unit, thus assuring normal operation of the unit. The cooling fan automatically starts rotating to supply external cool air to the inside of the center unit when the internal temperature goes up.

For safety, observe the following carefully.

•Make sure there is good ventilation around the center unit. Poor ventilation could overheat and damage the center unit.

•DO NOT block the cooling fan and the ventilation openings or holes. (If they are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.)
