CONNECTING INSTRUCTIONS
ANTENNA CONNECTION
Connecting The FM Antenna
Since FM broadcast signals travel along a straight, direct-line
path, they become rather weak behind hills and buildings even in the
vicinity of a broadcasting station. FM signals also become weak in
areas distant from a station even though there may not be any
obstruction to the direct-line path of the signal. Therefore, a good FM
antenna should be installed in the most EUSCHVE manner for best
possible FM reception.
in areas near the FM station, where signals are strong, stretch
the T-type indoor antenna that is supplied, to its maximum, and con-
nect it to the FM 30012 ANTENNA terminals. This antenna should be
carefully hung in the direction that provides best reception and clarity.
in areas subject to FM multipath interference such as locations
behind hills or in the shadow of buildings, an outdoor FM antenna
should be used. An outdoor FM antenna is also recommended for the
reception of weak and distant FM stations. Connections should be
made as follows: 300 ohm twin leads should be connected to the FM
3000? terminals, and 75 ohm coaxial cable to the FM 75 terminals.
Connecting The AM Antenna
The built-in AM ferrite antenna assures optimum AM reception.
In fringe areas or in locations surrounded by steel frame buildings
where satisfactory reception cannot be obtained with the ferrite anten-
na, an AM outdoor antenna should be connected to the AM terminal.
IVAN TABLE CONNECTION
The two shielded audio cables from your stereo turntable are
normally terminated with phono plugs. Connect the left channel of the
turntable to the “L’ PHONO 1 input jack and the right channel to the
“R™ PHONO 1 input jack.
If
an
additional
turntable
is
used
in
order
to
operate
two
turntables,
connect
the
left
channel
to
the
“L’’
PHONO
2
input
jack
and
the
right
channel
to
the
“R’
PHONO
2
input
jack.
If
the
turntable
has
a
grounding
wire,
connect
it
to
thts
receiver's
GND
terminal
to
avoid
hum.

CONNECTING INSTRUCTIONS
TAPE DECK CONNECTION
Recording
A tape deck can be connected for recording as follows: left
channel input of the tape deck to TAPE A (or B) REC “’L” jack, right
channel input of the tape deck to TAPE A (or B) REC “R”’ jack.
Playback
A tape deck can be connected for playback as follows: left
channel output of the tape deck to TAPE A (or B) PLAY “L” jack, right
channel output of the tape deck to TAPE A (or B) PLAY ’R” jack.
DIN CONNECTOR (PLAY/REC CONNECTOR)
If your tape deck is equipped with a DIN connector, connect it to
“TAPE A” PLAY/REC connector with a DIN connecting cord. A DIN
connector enables recording and playback with this single cord.
NOTE: When a DIN cord is connected, TAPE A PLAY and REC jacks should not be
used. However, TAPE 8 PLAY and REC jacks can always be used
regardless of the DIN cord connection.
AUX (AUXILIARY INPUTS)
High level INPUT AUX jacks are for miscellaneous sources, such
as extra tape decks, additional tuners, TV sound outputs, and other ex-
ternal components.
AC OUTLETS
The AC outlets on the rear panel of the receiver may be used to
supply power to other components, such as a turntable. tape deck, etc.
1. SWITCHED outlet
This outlet ts controlled by the POWER switch on the front panel.
{The capacity is 100 watts maximum).
2. UNSWITCHED outlets
These outlets deliver power at all times. (The total capacity is
200 watts maximum.)
NOTE: 1. Donot connect here any equipment whose power consumption exceeds
the capacity of each outlet.
2. Units shipped to the European countries are not equipped with the AC
Outlets.
FM DEF OUT JACK
The FM detector circuit output is made available here so that thrs
receiver will be ready for 4-channel broadcasting developments in the
future. When FM discrete 4-channel broadcasting becomes 4a reality.
a simple der..odulator connected here will enable you to fully enjoy this
coming development.
ADAPTOR IN-OUT JACKS
When ji is desired to set up a 4-channel stereo system or a Dolby
NR system, remove the attached jumper connector and connect
another decoder amplifier or Dolby NR adaptor to the ADAPTOR
jacks. For cstailed instructions on connections, etc., see the instruc-
tion manual supplied with the adaptor.
NOTE: Wher using the ADAPTOR jacks do not use the attached jumper connector
in other jacks. Keep it, because it must be plugged into these jacks when
they are not used.

MAINTENANCE
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CONCERNING TRANSISTORS
Transistors
differ
fundamentally
from
radio
vacuum
tubes
and
require
special
attention
to
ensure
their
full
performance
capabilities.
Given
proper
care,
transistors
will
provide
years
of
practically
troublefree
performance.
PROTECTION CIRCUIT
The
newly
developed
protection
circuit
is
Completely
effective
and
prevents
damage
which
may
be
caused
by
short-circuiting
at
the
speaker
terminals
or
the
power
output
circuit
of
the
receiver,
When
a
short-circuit
occurs,
this
protection
circuit
will
function
automatically
to
protect
the
power
output
transistors.
If
the
power
output
transistor
fails,
this
protection
circuit
will
function
automatically
to
protect
the
speakers.
CLEANING PRECAUTIONS
Do
not
use
volatile
liquid
such
as
alcohol,
thinner,
gasoline;
ben-
zine,
etc.,
when
cleaning
the
unit
surface.
Use
silicon
cloth
or
soft
dry
cloth.

Switch off the unit and disconnect the power plug from your AC outlet im-
mediately if the abnormality (smell, smoke. etc.) should take place.
When you connect or disconnect the power plug from your AC outlet, never do it
with wet hands to avoid unexpected accident from electric shock. Besides, do it
by holding the power plug itself, not the power cord.
Discqgnnect the power plug from your AC outlet when it begins to thunder
terrifically. (It is advisable to disconnect the antenna feeder or coaxial cable from
the unit if an outdoor antenna is installed. Do not touch the antenna feeder or
coaxial cable disconnected then.}
‘tt ts desirable to disconnect the power plug from your AC outlet when you leave
your house for a long time.
* * *
The power cord must not be pulled strongly, nor bent forcibly, nor scratched, nor
extended by connecting an extra cord. This will damage the cord and be a cause
of electric shock and a fire.
Do not put a heavy thing on the power cord,
a * *
Do not put on and near the unit what contains water such as a vase, pitcher, etc.
Be careful not to drop the inflammable (paper, celluloid, etc.) and the metal (nee-
dle, hairpin, coin, etc.} in the unit.
* * *
Never close the ventilation holes on the case top with a table cloth, curtain, etc.
Nothing must be put on the unit especially when using for a long time.
* * ®
Never dismantle the case from the unit and touch the internal part. Never modify
the internal part. Otherwise, the danger of electric shock will be incurred.
