CARE AND MAINTENA
Your receiver is
an
example of superior
design and craftsmanship. The follow-
ing suggestions will help you care for
your receiver so that you can enjoy it for
years.
Keep the receiver dry. If it
does get wet, wipe it dry
immediately. Liquids can
contain minerals that can
damage the electronic
circuits.
Use and store the receiver
only in normal temper-
ature environments. Ex-
treme temperatures can
shorten the life of electronic
devices and distort
or
meH
plastic parts.
Handle the receiver gently
and carefully. Dropping it
can damage circuit boards
and cases and cause the
receiver to
work
impro-
perly.
Keep the receiver away
from dust and dirt, which
can cause premature wear
of parts.

2.
Plug the other end of the audio cable
into your receiver's front panel
CD/TAPE input jack.
3.
Set the source selector to the
CD/TAPE position.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
Your receiver has
an
overload protec-
tion system. If
your
speaker terminals
receive
an
unusuallyhigh power surge,
this system automatically decreases
the output power to a very low level to
protect
your
receiver and speakers.
If this happens, turn off the power
and check
all
speaker connections.
Be sure that there are no stray pieces
of wire touching between the positive
(+)
and negative
(-)
speaker term-
inals. Also check that
your
speakers
have
an
impedance rating of at least
8 ohms.
THERMAL PROTECTION
Your receiver also has a thermal
protection system.
If
the receiver
overheats, it automatically turns off
press [POWER] to the out position,
and
then check to
be
sure the receiver's
ventillation holes are unobstructed.
After the receiver cools (about
15
minutes), press [POWER]
in.
Caution: Using speakers with
an
im-
pedance rating less than 8 ohms can
cause the receiver to overheat.

PREPARATION FOR USE
Before making any connections:
•
Be
sure the receiver's power cord is
unplugged.
•
Be
sure the [POWER] button is off.
Note: To eliminate or reduce inter-
ference, use shielded audio cables for
all connections other than speaker
connections.
CONNECTING SPEAKERS
Your receiver is designed for use with
speakers that have
an
impedance of 8
ohms or higher. To fully enjoy the
receiver's capabilities, we recommend
that you use our Minim
us
series speaker
systems. However, you can also use
any high-efficiency standard speakers
or other types of compact speakers.
For speaker connections,
use
speaker
cable
or
1
8-1
6 gauge speaker cable
or
two-conductor wire.
We
recom-
mend that you use the shortest length
of wire possible.
Speaker wire consists of two individual
wires encased in insulation. Speaker
wire is usually color-coded or marked
with a ridge along one side to help you
make the proper connections between
your receiver and speakers.
1.
Cut your speaker wires to the length
needed to connect your speakers to
your receiver.
6
2.
Split both speaker wires approx-
imately four inches
on
each end.
3.
Using a wire stripper, carefully strip
about 1/4 inch of insulation from the
end of each individual wire.
~
~
4.
Connect one of the individual wires
to the right positive (
+)
SPEAKERS
push
terminal
located
on
the
receiver's back panel. Then, connect
the other individual wire to the right
negative
(-)
SPEAKERS push
terminal.
5.
Using the speaker wire's coding
as
a guide, connect the positive wire to
the positive
(+)terminal
on
your right
speaker.
Then connect the negative wire to
your right speaker's negative
(-)
terminal.

Repeat Steps 4-5 to connect the left
speaker
to
the
receiver's
left
SPEAKERS push terminals.
Caution:
•
Do
not use speakers that have
an
im-
pedance of less than 8 ohms.
• To avoid a short circuit, do not allow
stray wires to touch another terminal.
• Use only the length of wire necessary
to connect the speakers to the
receiver.
POSITIONING
YOUR SPEAKERS
Placement of your speakers depends
largely
on
the arrangement of your
listening room and the way you listen to
music.
Experiment
with
different
speaker locations to achieve the best
sound.
Stereo speakers should be several feet
apart. Putting them too close together
reduces the stereo effect, while placing
them too far apart reduces the bass
effect and creates a
"hole"
in
the
middle. Speakers usually disperse the
sound at about a 60-degree angle,
so
ideally, your listening position should
be
in
the overlap area. You might want to
angle the speakers toward
you
for a bet-
ter stereo effect.
CONNECTING ANTENNAS
Under most conditions, your receiver's
built-in antennas are adequate for
FM
and
AM
reception. Connect the FM
line-cord antenna to the
FM
ANT
300-ohm screw terminal
on
the back
panel of your receiver. The built-in
AM
antenna requires no attention.

IMPROVING
FM
RECEPTION
If you have trouble with the
FM
recep-
tion
in
your area, try one of the ar-
rangements listed below.
• Build the low-cost folded dipole
antenna illustrated (available at
your
local Radio Shack store). Attach the
flat cable to the 300-ohm terminals
on the receiver's back panel. You
can tack the antenna to the back of
a record cabinet
or
onto a wall.
Reception
is
usually best when you
attach the antenna at the highest
possible position.
• A set of
VHF-
TVrabbit ears or anten-
nas made specially for
FM
reception
work
well
in
suburban areas. Connect
these types of antennas to the
300-ohm screw terminals
on
the
receiver's back panel.

• An outsideVHF-TVantennaprovides
excellent FM reception. A "splitter"
(available at
all
Radio Shack stores)
permits you to connect a TV set and
your
receiver to the same antenna.
Your local Radio Shack store also
sells a full line of outside antennas to
help you achieve adequate recep-
tion
in
fringe areas.
If you use a 300-ohm flat cable, con-
nect it to the antenna's 300-ohm ter-
minals. If you use a 75-ohm coaxial
cable, connect it to the antenna's
75-ohm terminals. When you use the
75-ohm coaxial cable, attach the
center wire of the cable to the com-
mon terminal between the 75-ohm
and 300-ohm antenna terminals.
Then, connect the braided ground
wire under the clamp
as
shown
below.
