e Auto on/off function
This function switches on the power with just a press of the CD
of cassette deck play button. The power is switched off about
10 minutes after playback has finished.
Use an outdoor antenna if reception cannot be heard
clearly with the included antenna. Change the location,
height, and direction of the antenna to find the position of
best reception, then fix the antenna in that position.
Assembling the Loop Antenna
75ohm coaxial cable
{3C-2V or other)
e Hum may be produced if a TV set or another audio component
is set near this system or their connection cords are nearby. If
this happens, try changing the position of the equipment and
connection cords.
e Connect the outdoor antenna using 75-ohm coaxial cable. This
will help shieid the antenna from externsi noise.
@ Places for Installing Outdoor Antennas
© Donot move the system abruptly from a cold place to a warm
place, since t his may cause water Gropiets (condensation) to
form in the equipment, preventing proper operation. If this
happens, wait one hour before using the system.
@ Remove the tie fastening the toop antenna’s iead and
connect the lead to the antenna terminals.
e Separate the FM and AM antenna wires from the system
connector wires.
© Install the outdoor antenna facing a brosdcast station's
transmission antenna.
When surrounded by buildings or hills, place the antenna
in the location which provides best reception and try
changing the direction of the antenna to obtain optimum
reception.
e Do not install the antenna under power lines.
\t is extremely dangerous for the sntenna to come into
contact with a power tine.
© Install awey from roads and train tracks to prevent noise
from cars and trains.
© Do not install the antenna too high, as it may be hit by
lightning.
