Basic connections
Connecting the FM antenna
Extend the FM antenna when connecting so
that you can obtain the best reception.
NOTE
Make sure the antenna conductors do not
touch any other terminals, connecting cords
or the power cord.
Also, keep the antennas away from metallic
parts of the main unit, connecting cords, and
the AC power cord. Otherwise, it could cause
poor reception.
If you want to get a better reception,
disconnect the supplied FM antenna, and
connect to an outdoor FM antenna (not
supplied) using a 75 Ω wire with coaxial type
connector.
•
•
Connecting the power cord
Connect the supplied AC adaptor to the DC IN
jack on the System. Then connect the supplied
AC power cord to the AC adaptor, and plug it
into a wall outlet.
CAUTION
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning
or moving the System.
To avoid the risk of fire and to prevent
damage,
- Do not use any AC adaptors other than the
one supplied.
- Do not use the supplied AC adaptor for
other equipment.
Be sure to unplug the power cord from the
outlet when going out or when the System is
not in use for an extended period of time.
