CONNECTING THE INCLUDED ANTENNAS
Installing the FM indoor antenna
Tune in FM station (see page 13), set the antenna so that
distortion and noise is minimal, then secure the tip of the
antenna in this position using tape or a pin.
Installing the AM loop antenna
Tune in an AM station (see Page 13) and set the antenna
as far from the system as possible to keep distortion and
noise is minimal. 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.
Connecting an FM outdoor antenna
If good reception cannot be achieved with the included
FM antenna, use an FM outdoor antenna. Connect an
PAL-type connector to the coaxial cable and connect the
antenna to the FM COAX (75 Ω/ohms) terminal.
Selecting a place for the FM outdoor antenna
• Set the antenna so that it points 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.

CONNECTIONS
Connecting the speaker systems
Connect the speaker system for the left channel (the left side as seen from the front) to
the L terminals, the speaker system for the right channel to the R terminals. Refer to
the instructions supplied with the speaker system for details. Be sure to use speaker
systems with an impedance of 6 Ω/ohms or greater.
NOTE:
•This system includes digital circuitry which may
cause interference such as color blotching or
changes in the color on TVs. If this happens, move
the system and the TV as far apart as possible.
NOTES:
•Do not plug the power cord into the power outlet until all connections are completed. Be sure to interconnect the
channels (L to L (white) and R to R (red)) properly, as shown on the diagram.
•Insert the plugs securely. Incomplete connections may result in noise.
•Be sure to connect the speaker cords between the speaker terminals and the speaker systems with the same
polarities ( + to +, –to –). If the polarities are switched, the sound at the center will be weak, the position of the
different instruments will be unclear, and the stereo effect will be lost.
•After unplugging the power cord, wait about 5 seconds before plugging it back in.
•Note that setting the connection cords (pin-plug cords) next to the power cords may result in humming or other
noise.
CAUTION:
•Whenever the power operation switch is in the STANDBY position, the unit is still
connected to AC line voltage.
Please be sure to unplug the power cord when you leave home for, e.g.,a
vacation, etc.
System operations
Such system operations as the timer and the auto power on functions, as well as remote control operations cannot be
performed unless all the RCA pin-plug cords and system connector cords are connected between the units, so be sure
to make all the connections properly as shown in the diagram. Also, disconnecting system connectors while the system
is operating may result in malfunctions. Be sure to unplug the power cord before changing connections.
Install the sets as shown in one of
these diagrams. In either case, be sure
that the CD receiver’s ventilation holes
are not obstructed.

CAUTIONS ON HANDLING DISCS
About Compact Discs
CD’s with special shapes (heart-shaped CDs, octagonal
CDs etc.) cannot be played on this set.
Attempting to do so may damage the set. Do not use
such CDs.
C
Use compact discs that include the Cmark.
•Removing discs from their cases
As shown on the diagram, grasp the outer edge of the
disc with your fingers, insert a finger in the center hole,
press gently, then lift the disc out of the case.
•Loading discs in the disc tray
Be sure to load the disc with the labelled side facing up.
(Compact discs only play on one side.) For 8 cm CDs,
set the disc in the sunken section in the center of the
tray.
NOTES:
•The disc tray opens when the 5(open/close) button
is pressed once and closes when it is pressed
again.
•When the disc tray is closed, the disc turns
automatically for several seconds, then the total
number of tracks and total playing time of that disc
appear on the display.
•The disc tray can also be closed by pressing the 1/ 3
(play /pause) button, in which case playback
automatically starts from the first track on the disc
(or if tracks are programmed, from the first
programmed track).
Handling the Disc Tray:
•Do not turn off the power, stop the disc tray by
hand or pull on it when it is moving. Doing so may
damage it.
If the headphones’cord or some other object
accidentally gets caught in the disc tray while it is
closing and the disc tray stops, press the 5
(open/close) button again to open the tray and
remove the obstacle.
Do not set objects other than discs on the disc tray.
Doing so may damage it.
Cleaning Discs
Dust, fingerprints or spit on the disc will result in noise or
skipping. If the disc is dirty or if the CD receiver does not
operate properly, use the following procedure to clean the
disc:
•Hold the disc with the signal surface (the side opposite
the labelled side) facing up, as shown in the diagram.
•Wipe the disc gently from the center towards the edge
(in the direction of the arrow) with a soft cloth.
Do not clean discs with the following:
•Benzene, alcohol or other solvents
•Cleaner including an abrasive
•Sprays or cleaners designed for records
•Anti-static
NOTES:
•Do not wipe discs in the direction opposite the
arrow or in a circular motion as with regular records.
•The disc’s signal surface is easily damaged, so do
not wipe it with a hard cloth or rub it strongly.

LINE1, MD disappears automatically from the list of available functions for LINE2.
•If you set LINE1 FUNCTION to a function already preset to LINE2, LINE2 returns to the original TAPE function
automatically. LINE1 has priority over LINE2.
Use this to automatically search for FM broadcasts and store up to 40 stations at preset channels 1 to 40.
