The lighting llash with arrowhead
symbol, within an equ:lale'-al
triangle, is intended to alerl lhe user
to the presence of uninsulated
"dangerous voltage" within the
product's enclosure that may be oi
sufficient magnitude to constiture a
risk of electric shock to pe;'sons.
The exclamation point n ithin
an equilateral triangle is intended
to alert the user to the presence
o, importanl operaling and main-
tenance (servicing) rnslructions in
the literalure accompanying the
appliance.
"Note to CATV system installer:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV
system installer's attenlion to Article 82622 ol
the NECrthat provides guidelines for proper
grounding a(d, in particular, specifies that the

Figure 'l shows the location of the input ard out-
put jacks on the rear panel. (Front panel con-
trols and jacks will be discussed tater).
The-stereo pairs ol shiny round jacks such as
thoff used lor the phono inputs are called "RCA
phoro jac*s" and are designed to accommodate
shielded audb cables outfitled with "BCA phono
plugs". Appropdale cables of various lengths are
available at your i/hrantz dealer. Lengths of up
to 24 t. may be u*d. ll it as necessary to pur-
chase cable lor yo.r insiallation, u,e suggesfi ),ou
lirst arrange your eomponents in the desired
position, and then with a measuring tape deier-
mine how much cable will be needed. This will
ensure that l,ou do not underestimate lhe
lengths required for a neat, attractii€ installation.
To avoid confugion, connect one cable at a time
between the unit and the other componenls of
your system. This is the safest way to avoid
cross-connecting ctrannels or confusing source
outputs with inputs.
SPEAKERS
Use speaker systems with impedarrce ratiqgs of
&16 ohms. When you hork up 2 sets of speaker
systerns, be sure to use speakers with ratings
ol 8-16 ohms.
Before hooking up your speaker system, check
its impedarEe, which shoukd be indicated either
on the.back of the speaker, or in its insutruction
manual.
HOOKffiG UP SPEAfiEBS
On the rear panel there are two sets of speaker
terminals, SPEAKER A and B, to vytrich two
speaker systems may be connected. Connect
the speaker leads of the right-hand speaker to
terminals "R" of "A" (or "'B'), and the speaker
leads of the left-hand speaker to terminals "L"
of "A" (or "B'). Make sure thd the " + " speaker
lead is connected to the " + " terminal, and the
" - " lead to the " - " terminals. Strip 1.Ocm
(U8") ol the insulalion irom the end ot each
speaker lead. Twisi the exposed strands tight-
ly, and secure tlre end with a tolrch of solder.The
te{minals are the grsh-insert t1pe. lnsert the erd
of the lead into the hole while pushing on the
button. Then release the button; the hole win
close and the cord is firmly fixed.

Proper antenna installation is the key to smooth
signal reception. To install the sr+died T-shape
indoor antenna, stretch it taut and secure
horizontally aloqg a wal! or ina location where
sigrral reception is @imai- Secure*y connect the
antenna to FM antenfia terminals markd
"30OO" on lhe rear pa.nel^ lf an s.rtdoor tlpeFM
antenna is installed, the T-shape antenna is not
necessary. For proper use of your outdoor FM
antenna. follow the instructions below-
1. Be sure to select the most appropriate type
of antenna for the signal receplion conditions
in your area
2. A 75-ohm coaxial cable is remmmended to
condect the anlenna to the unit. Be sure to
use the coaxial iack cn the rear panel mark-
ed Antenna A.
3. Set the'antenna in a position as h{gr s pc;i-
ble if buildings,mountains or other obstruc-
tions nearby aftect reception.
I hble Ft (Antenna B)
This coaxial lqck on the rear panel is used for
receiying (FM) signals from cable or pay W
(CATV), where FM signals are being tranSmit-
ted separately lrom video signals (e.9., a sddlite
cable TV with hi-li stereo sodnQ.
Note: this is used in coniuction with the Anlen-
na B (Cable FM) button (24) on the front panel.
AM Loop Antenna

AM Antenna
I AM Antenna
The loop antenna is provided for optimum AM
reception- Attach the loop ar*enna onto the
antenna holder on the rear panel, and @nnect
the lead wires to the antenna screw terminals
marked "GND" and "AM". lf an outdoor anien-
na is desired tor better recedion or il you are
in a difficull reception area, oonnec,t lhe anten-
na to the same terminals as the loop antenna.
you should leave the loop antenna connected
to the terminals even when the extemal anten-
na is connocted.

component according to the instructions sup.
plied with that component. Components con-
nected to ESL LOOPING terminals are always
in signal path, before pre.amp controls (tone,

REGEPTACTES
There are two pairs ol teririnals markeg
PFIEAMP OUTand MAIN AMP lN A and B con-
nected with jumper pins on tle reai chassis. Nor-
mally with the pins in place, your receiver is in-
tegrated- However, by removirq tte jumper pins,
your unit in essence becomes tno independent
components consisting of one preamplitier and
one main-amplifier (for A and B).'These recep
tacles are intended for use with any oplional
equipment designed to be installed between the
preampliter and the main-amplifier or for
separate use of either section alone. Equipment
such as an audio qualizer or reverberation
unit can be used; or another preamplifier or
main-amplifier may be hooked up. Simpty
disconnect lhe lumper pins and fcilow lhe
instructions supplied with the accessory equip-
ment. Wheft no auxiliary equipment is being us-
ed, the jumper pins MUST be reinserted in order
to use the receiver. Set A is for the front stereo
amplifierslA speakers), and the set B is for the
rear stereo amplifiers (Bspeakers).
CEITTER GHATTET OUT
The mono signal (left and righl channels) from
the PREAMP OUT A will come out of this out-
put. A power amplifier can be connecied to the
terminat lor driving a subwooler speaker system,
it so ciesired.

SURBOUilO SOUIID SYSTEM
Surroirnd souM can be achieved by using the
controls on theSR€ooosurfbund system, which
incorFrates high powered 4-channel amplifiers
and 4 speaker systems. The sources can be
video tapes and.discs which have Dolby Sur-
mund encoded, and rprmal stereo programs lor
simulaled surround etfects (Matrix and Hall
etlects).
IIIPORTANT: Please make sure that the NOFI-
MAUBHIDGED selector button on the rear panel
is swithched ro NORMAL position, and the 4
speakers are conneetd properly to the speaker
terminals. Use speaker terminal A for the front
speakers, and speaker terminal B for the rear

connections or by running the cableslooclce
to a strong AC field.
When your unit picks up noise during the reep-
tion of broadcasts, causes are rpstly due to ex-
temal obiects such as fluorescent lamps and
house appliances using a mot(r or thermostal,
or other$ thal may induce the noise.
Eilher relocating the unit away from the noise

PROTEGTIOX GIBCUIT
The SR€600 incorporales dl pcsible satety
measures by combining muhfi*e prdecticn cir-
cuits to prev€nt accident or damage.
lf for some reason the protection circuit is ac-
tivated, there wifi be a srdden cut-ofi sound lrom
the speakere.
ll no sound is produced, the reason may be due
to the functioning ot the proiection circuit. FiFt,
tum ofi the povyer and disconneci the plug from
the electrical outlet, and c-heck to b€ sure that
the speaker cables are not short-circuited. Also
check to make sure the impedance of each
speaker is 8 ohms or over (rf it is below 4 ohms,
lhe unit will be overloaded due to low im-
pedance). When u$rq 2 seh d speakersystems
simultaneously, make sure that the impedance
of each speaker is 16 ohms or more.
Afterchecking the abve points, tum the p,ourer
on. The protection cirsuit will automatically be
deactivat€d and the unit will start functioning
again.
The protection circuit normally operates when
the unit is first tumed sr to prBvent a pop$ng
noise lrcm occllring- No sound is produced for
seneral sgcords after turnon.
