Safety precautions
Placement
Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct
sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity, and excessive
vibration. These conditions can damage the cabinet and
other components, thereby shortening the unit’s service life.
Place it at least 15 cm away from wall surfaces to avoid
distortion and unwanted acoustical effects.
Do not place heavy items on the unit.
Voltage
Do not use high voltage power sources. This can
overload the unit and cause a fire.
Do not use a DC power source. Check the source
carefully when setting the unit up on a ship or other place
where DC is used.
AC mains lead protection
Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not
damaged. Poor connection and lead damage can cause fire
or electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or place heavy items on
the lead.
Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling
the AC mains lead can cause electric shock.
Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause
electric shock.
Foreign matter
Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can cause
electric shock or malfunction.
Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric
shock or malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect
the unit from the power supply and contact your dealer.
Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They
contain flammable gases which can ignite if sprayed into the
unit.
Service
Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is
interrupted, indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any
other problem that is not covered in these instructions
occurs, disconnect the AC mains lead and contact your
dealer or an authorized service center. Electric shock or
damage to the unit can occur if the unit is repaired,
disassembled or reconstructed by unqualified persons.
Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the
power source if it is not to be used for a long time.

sensor and remote control unit.
• Do not expose the remote control signal sensor to direct
sunlight or to the bright light of a fluorescent light.
•Take care to keep the remote control signal sensor and
end of the remote control unit free from dust.
• If this system is installed in a rack with glass doors, the
glass doors’ thickness or color might make it necessary to
use the remote control unit a shorter distance from the
system.

Kj!S& X
1 Connect the FM indoor antenna.
Tape the antenna to a wall or column, in a position
where radio signals are received with the least amount
of interference.
UBH
For the best reception:
An FM outdoor antenna is recommended. page 7)
2 Connect the AM loop antenna.
After attaching the antenna, turn on the system and
tune in a broadcast station. Put the antenna where the
reception is best and interference is minimal.
3 Connect the speaker cables.
Connect each end of the speaker cables to the
terminal lever of the same color so (+) and (-) are
correct. Never allow the exposed wires to contact each
other when connected.
Incorrect connection can damage the unit.
Caution
Use only the supplied speakers.
The combination of the main unit and speakers provide
the best sound. Using other speakers can damage the
unit and sound quality will be negatively affected.
Caution
• Use the speakers only with the recommended
system.
Failure to do so may lead to damage to the
amplifier and/or the speakers, and may result
in the risk of fire. Consult a qualified service
person if damage has occurred or if you
experience a sudden change in performance.
• Do not attach these speakers to walls or
ceilings.
