LINE VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH
Only muiti-voltage models are provided with this
switch. U.S., Canadian, European, U.K., and Australian
models are not provided with this switch.
Mains voltages in Saudi Arabia are 127 V and 220 V only.
Never use this model with 110 V setting in Saudi Arabia.
The line voltage selector switch is on the rear panel. Before
your model is shipped from the factory, this switch is set to
the power requirements of the destination. Check that it is set
properly before plugging the pawer cord into the AC wall
socket. If the voltage is not properly set or if you mave to
an area where the voitage requirements differ, adjust the
selector switch as follows.

NOTE:
® When not using the remote contro! unit for an extended
period (one month or more}, remove the batteries in order to
prevent damage from leakage. ff battery leakage does occur,
use a rag to carefully wipe away the leaked fluid, and insert
new batteries.
e Do not fay books, or other objects on top of the remote
control unit, since the keys may be depressed, causing early
depletion of the batteries.
© ff the remote controf unit's operating distance becomes
noticeably shortened, the batteries are likely depleted.
Replace them with new batteries.
(1) Open the battery compartment lid on the reverse
panel, and insert the accessory batteries taking care
to arrange the polarities in the directions shown.
(2) Replace the battery compartment lid.
if dry batteries are misused, leakage and rupture may occur, Be
sure to note the following precautions:
© Insert batteries correctly with polarities as shown in the
diagram within the battery case.
@ Do not mix fresh batteries with already used batteries.
® Batteries of the same size may differ in voltage depending on
manufacturer. Do not mix batteries of differing make together.

Radio reception is not possible unless the
antenna is properly connected.
The strength of broadcast signals varies from one area to
another (signa! propagation is especially poor in metropol-
itan areas, where there are many tall buildings. and in
mountainous areas). Proper antenna installation is vital to
good reception.
AM ANTENNA
The AM loop antenna supplied with the tuner should be
connected to the AM antenna terminals. The antenna
should be placed at a distance from the tuner, and should
not be allowed to touch metallic objects. Avoid placing it
near CD players, personal computers, television sets, and
other devices generating radio frequencies.
Setting Up the AM Antenna
®@ Fold out the supports on the bottom of the antenna.
Insert the stopper in the hole in the antenna to lock them
in place.
® Place the antenna on a level surtace and rotate it to locate
the orientation that yields the best reception

External FM antenna installation
Use an external antenna when the signals from the station
are weak and cannot be picked up by the accessory T-type
FM antenna, of when the sound heard is accompanied by
large amounts of noise. There are two ways of connecting
the external FM anienna to the ANTENNA terminals: with
30082 feeder wire, or with a 75Q coaxial cable.
It is recommended that you use the 75Q coaxial cable,
so that the effects of extraneous noise are reduced to a
minimum

Antenna ground
Although grounding ig not afways necessary for reception, it is
recommended for protection against darnage from lightning if an
outdoor FM antenna is used. Grounding is recommended as well
to help reduce noise and hum.
NOTE:
Never make the ground connection to a gas pipe as sparks could
cause the gas to ignite.
