IMPORTANT! The left channel of any audio component must be connected fo the
left-channel jack of the receiver, and the right channel to the right-channel jack.
If they are reversed, the stereophonic image will not be correct.
NOTE: To ensure correct connections, insert the red plug into the right channel.
Connect stereo components to the amplifier using cables with RCA PIN plugs. If you are
connecting a tape deck, connect the output jacks on the tape deck to the jacks marked IN
(PLAY) on the receiver, and the input jacks to those marked OUT (REC).
NOTES:
e Any turntables incorporating a small-output cartridge such as an MC (moving-coil
type) must be connected to this amplifier through a commercial head amplifier or
step-up transformer. Direct connection may result in insufficient volume.

Connecting an FM Antenna
The type of terminal provided for connecting an FM antenna depends on pone geographic area.
Read the section below which corresponds to your area.
IMPORTANT! Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals
on the receiver. This could cause poor reception.
You have two options for connecting an FM antenna. Connect the included wire antenna as
shown in option @, or purchase antenna and cable with connector DIN 45332 and attach as
shown in option ©.

Connect the antenna cable to the FM 75Q COAXIAL terminal using the matching transformer.
You have two options —- a 300-ohm feeder cable, or a 75-ohm coaxial cable.
To attach the matching transformer to the 300-ohm feeder cable, secure the two conductors to
the screws of the matching transformer, as shown at the left.

To attach the matching transformer to the 75-ohm coaxial cable, follow these steps:
Step 1. Remove the cover of the matching transformer by lifting the tabs on both sides.
Step 2 Remove the jumper wire from the notch in the center of the fitting.
Step 3 Wind the wire securely around the plastic pole next to the fitting.
Step 4 Insert the center conductor of the coaxial cable into the notch.
Step 5 Using a pair of pliers, secure the fitting in the center of the matching transformer so
that the shield braid of the coaxial cable is held tightly in the fitting.
Step 6 Snap the cover back onto the matching transformer.

Connecting the Power
In some areas, you will find voltage selector and AM channel spacing selector switches on the
back of the receiver. If your receiver has these switches, follow the instructions below to set
them before connecting the power.
Voltage Selector: Using a Philips screwdriver, adjust the voltage selector to the correct
supply voltage for your area.
AM Channel Spacing Selector: Using the tip of a ballpoint pen, adjust the AM channel
spacing for your area.
After checking all connections, insert the power cord plug into an outlet.
When the power supply is connected correctly, the POWER STANDBY indicator lights on the
front of the receiver. A small amount of power (5 watts) is consumed under these conditions,
even if the receiver is turned off. To shut off the power completely, unplug the power cord from
the outlet.
Z\ CAUTION!
* Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
* Do not pull on the power cord to unplug the receiver. Always grasp the plug
directly so as not to damage the cord.
¢ Do not plug the power cord into a socket until all components are connected
correctly.
IMPORTANT! If the power cord is disconnected or a power failure occurs, the
receiver settings in memory are retained for 2 or 3 days.
The remote control requires two batteries (supplied). To insert batteries, follow these steps:
Step 1 On the back side of the remote control, press down on the battery cover and slide it
out.
Step 2 Insert batteries. Make sure to observe the proper polarity: (+) to (+) and (—) to (-).
Step 3 Slide the cover in.
If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace the batteries. Use two (2)
AAA (24F) dry-cell batteries of the RO3/UM-4 type.
A\ CAUTION! Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:
¢ Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity indicated:
(+) to (+) and (-) to (-).
¢ Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may differ in
voltage.
¢ Always replace both batteries at the same time.
© Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.
