Placing the system

This system can be placed any way you like, however, be sure not to place another unit or any object on top of the receiver to prevent the ventilation holes on the top panel of the receiver from being obstructed. If doing so, it may damage the receiver.

Notes

If the system is put in a rack, allow a space of at least 5 cm (1-15/16”) above and behind the unit.

Disconnect the AC supply lead from the AC outlet before connecting or disconnecting any component.

Antenna connection

(1) Supplied FM antenna

Connect the FM antenna wire to the corresponding terminal and direct the FM antenna wire to the direction where the strongest signal can be received.

(2) Supplied AM (MW/LW) loop antenna

Connect the AM (MW/LW) loop antenna wire to the corresponding terminals. Position the AM (MW/LW) loop antenna for optimum reception. Place the AM (MW/LW) loop antenna on a shelf etc., or install it on the rack or wall with screws (not supplied).

Notes

When static is still heard even after adjusting the position of the AM (MW/LW) loop antenna, try reversing the connection (top to bottom).

Do not place the AM (MW/LW) loop antenna on the unit. It will result in noise generation, since the unit is equipped with digital electronics. Place the AM (MW/LW) loop antenna away from the unit.

(3) External FM antenna

Use an external FM antenna instead of an indoor FM antenna if you need better reception. Consult your dealer.

(4) External AM (MW/LW) antenna

Use an external AM (MW/LW) antenna if you need better reception. Consult your dealer.

Note

When using an external AM (MW/LW) antenna, be sure to keep the wire of the AM (MW/LW) loop antenna connected.
