Setting up the system
Make connections as shown in the following pages.
When connecting the related system components, be sure
to refer to the instruction manuals supplied with the compo-
nents you are connecting.
Do not connect the power cord to a wall outlet until all
connections are completed.
Notes
1. Be sure to Insert all connection cords securely If therr connectrons are
Imperfect. sound may not be produced or there WI/Ibe norse Inference
2. Be sure to remove the power cord from the AC outlet before pluggrng
or unpluggrng any connectron cords Pluggrnglunpiuggrng connectron
cords wrthout drsconnectrng the power cord can cause malfunctrons
and may damage the unrt
3. Do not connect power cords from components whose power con-
sumption ISlarger than what ISindicated on the AC outlet at the rear
of thrs unrt
Analog connections
Audio connectrons are made usrng RCA pm cords These cables transfer
stereo audro signal rn an “analog” form Thus means the audio signal
corresponds to the actual audro of two channels These cables usually
have 2 plugs on each end, one red for the rtght channel and one white for
the left channel. These cables are usually packed together wrth the
source unit, or are avarlable at your local electroncs retailer
though all connectrons have been made properly, reset the micro-
computer refemng to “In case of drffrculty”
CAUTION
Be sure to adhere to the following, or proper ventilation will be
blocked causing damage or fire hazard.
l Do not place any objects imparnng heat radratron onto the top of the
unit.
l Leave some space around the unrt (from the largest outside
drmensron rncludrng projection) equal to or greater than, shown
