CONNECTING THE INCLUDED ANTENNAS
Installing the FM indoor antenna
Tune in an FM station (Refer to page 11.), set the
antenna in a position in which distortion and noise is
minimum, then fasten the tip of the antenna in this
position using tape or a pin.
Installing the AM loop antenna
Tune in an AM station (Refer to page 11.) and set the
antenna in a position as far from the system as
possible in which distortion and noise is minimum. 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.
Assembling the AM loop antenna
Assemble the included AM loop antenna as shown in
the diagram.
qRemove the clamp.
wInsert the AM loop antenna
into the antenna stand.
Connecting the AM loop antenna
Connect the included AM loop antenna to the antenna
terminals as shown in the diagram.
q Loosen the
terminal
knobs.
w Insert the
antenna
wire.
e Tighten the
terminal
knobs.
Installing an AM outdoor antenna
Connect the signal wire from the AM outdoor antenna
to the antenna terminal. Be sure to ground the
antenna and connect the ground wire to the GND
terminal. Also be sure to connect the included AM
loop antenna.
Connecting an FM outdoor antenna
If good reception cannot be achieved with the
included FM antenna, use an FM outdoor antenna.
Connect an F-shaped 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 is pointing 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.

REMOTE CONTROL UNIT
The DRA-F100 comes with a system remote control unit (RC-829).
• Use R6P (AA) batteries in this remote control unit.
• Replace the batteries with new ones approximately
once each year, though this depends on how
frequently the remote control unit is used.
• Replace the batteries with new ones earlier if the
remote control unit does not operate even from a
short distance.
• Insert the batteries in the proper + and – direction,
following the marks in the battery compartment.
• Remove the batteries when not using the remote
control unit for extended periods of time.
• To avoid damage and leakage:
• Do not use a new battery with an old one.
• Do not use two different types of batteries.
• Do not short-circuit, take apart, heat or dispose of
batteries in flames.
• If the batteries should leak, carefully wipe the fluid
out of the battery compartment, then insert new
batteries.
NOTES:
Inserting the batteries
qOpen the battery compartment cover on the back of the
remote control unit.
wInsert the two R6P (AA) batteries, following the + and –
marks in the battery compartment.
eClose the cover of the battery compartment.
Using the Remote Control Unit
• The remote control unit may not operate if the remote
sensor is exposed to direct sunlight or the strong light
from a lighting fixture, or if there is an obstacle
between the remote control unit and the remote
sensor.
• Do not press buttons on the remote control unit and on
the set at the same time. Doing so could result in
malfunction.
• If the remote control unit is pointed away from the
remote sensor during continuous operations (such as
when turning the volume up or down), the operation
will stop. If this happens, point the remote control unit
at the remote sensor and press the button again.
Cautions on Use
• The remote sensor is located on the
receiver. Point the remote control unit at
the remote sensor as shown on the
diagram when operating it.
The remote control unit will operate from a
direct distance of approximately 7 meters,
but this distance will be shortened if
obstacles are present or if operated at an
angle.
(The remote control unit will operate at an
angle of up to 30° in either direction.)

•Protector circuit
The DRA-F100 is equipped with a high speed protector circuit.
This circuit protects internal parts from being damaged by strong currents generated in the set should the set be
operated when the speaker terminals are incompletely connected or short-circuited.
If this protector circuit is activated, a relay sound is produced, the output to the speakers is interrupted, and the function
and power LEDs flash to indicate that there is a problem. If this should happen, unplug the power cord, check the
speaker connections, then plug in the power cord and turn the power back on. After several seconds, a relay sound is
heard and the set starts operating properly.
• The set may not operate properly due to such external influences as lightning or static electricity. If this happens, either
turn off the power with the receiver’s SYSTEM power operation switch or unplug the power cord, wait approximately 5
seconds, then plug the power cord back in.
