Before you start

Installing the receiver

!When installing this unit, make sure to put it on a level and stable surface.

!Don’t install it on the following places:

—on a color TV (the screen may distort)

—near a cassette deck (or close to a device that gives off a magnetic field). This may interfere with the sound.

!Do not touch this receiver’s bottom panel while the power is on or just after it is turned off. The bottom panel becomes hot when the power is on (or right after it is turned off) and could cause burns.

Loading the batteries

The batteries included with the unit are to check initial operations; they may not last over a long period. We recommend using alkaline batteries that have a longer life.

Incorrect use of batteries may result in such hazards as leakage and bursting. Observe the following precautions:

!Never use new and old batteries together.

!Insert the plus and minus sides of the batteries properly according to the marks in the battery case.

!Batteries with the same shape may have different voltages. Do not use different batteries together.
