This figure shows the method of connection between the main unit and provided accessories.
AM loop antenna
The supplied antenna is for indoor use. Place it as
far as possible from the main system, TV set,
speaker cords and power cord, and set it to a di-
rection which provides the best reception.
Connect the components as shown in the diagram.
Only plug the power cord into a power outlet once
connections are completed.
1. If a speaker is installed near a TV, color irregularities
may be observed on the TV screen. To avoid this, in-
stall the speakers apart from a TV.
2. Color irregularities on the TV screen may also be pro-
duced depending on the method how the speakers are
installed. When color irregularities are observed after
the speaker installation, first turn the TV off, wait for 15
to 30 minutes and turn it on again: The interference
may be improved by the self-demagnetizing function of
the TV. If the color irregularities still remain, install the
speakers more apart from the TV.
3. Due to induction by the electromagnetic waves pro-
duced by a TV, the speakers may produce sound even
when the stereo unit is turned off. In this case also,
install the speakers more apart from the TV.
Installation of speakers and positioning of TV
AM loop antenna
CAUTION Note on Connection
Speaker (Right)
÷Never short-circuit the "+" and " - " speaker cords.
÷If the "+" and "
- " polarity are inverted, the sound will be unnatural with unclear positioning of musical instru-
ments, etc.
÷Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections are imperfect, the sound may not be
produced or noise may interfere.
÷Before plugging or unplugging a connection cord, be sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet. If
connection cords are plugged or unplugged with the power cord left plugged in, malfunction or damage may result.
