e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way,
and
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance
– this indicates a need for service.
22. Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are required, be
sure the service technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics
as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in
fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

Setting Up an FM Indoor Antenna
Tune in an FM broadcast (See Page 17) and while listening to
the sound find the position where distortion and noise are at
a minimum. Secure the antenna at this position by taping the
ends of the antenna in place or by using thumb tacks.
Tune in an AM broadcast (See Page 17) and while listening
to the sound separate the antenna from the main unit as
much as possible and place the antenna in a position where
distortion and noise are at a minimum. In some
circumstances, a reverse polarity of the connection will
provide better reception.
Failure to connect the AM loop antenna, or placement near
metal objects will result in poor reception of AM broadcasts.
Connect the signal wires of the AM outdoor antenna to the
AM antenna terminals (marked AM ANTENNA). Be certain to
leave the supplied AM loop antenna connected.

2The D-AJ03 can be controlled from a distance using the included remote control unit (RC - 911).
(1) Inserting Batteries
qRemove the remote control unit’s rear cover.
wPlace two R 6 P (AA) batteries in the battery compartment
in the direction indicated by the marks.
eClose the rear cover.
Cautions On Batteries
• Use R6P (AA) batteries in this remote control unit.
• Replace the batteries with new ones approximately
once a year, though this depends on the frequency
with which the remote control unit is used.
• If the remote control unit does not operate from close
to the main unit, replace the batteries with new ones,
even if less than a year has passed.
• The included battery is only for verifying operation.
Replace it with a new battery as soon as possible.
• When inserting the batteries, be careful to do so in the
proper direction, following the <and >marks in the
remote control unit’s battery compartment.
• To prevent damage or battery fluid leakage:
• Do not use a new battery with an old one.
• Do not use two different types of batteries.
• Do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat or dispose of
batteries in flames.
• Remove the batteries when not planning to use the
remote control unit for a long period of time.
• If the batteries should leak, carefully wipe off the fluid
from the inside of the battery compartment, then insert
new batteries.
(2) Using the Remote Control Unit
• When operating the remote control unit, point it at the
remote control sensor as shown on the diagram.
• The remote control unit can be used from a direct
distance of approximately 7 meters. This distance will
be shorter, however, if there are obstacles in the way
or if the remote control unit is not pointed directly at
the remote control sensor.
• The remote control unit can be operated at a horizontal
angle of up to 30° with respect to the remote control
sensor.
