PRECAUTIONS
Placement
of
the
Unit
As
the
unit
incorporates
a
powerful
amplifier,
heat
is
radiated
from
the
back
and
top
of
the
unit;
the
location
where
the
unit
is
installed
should
be
well
ventilated.
Avoid
installing
where
it
would
be
exposed
to
high
temperatures,
direct
sunlight,
high
humidity
and
dust.
If
the
wiring
is
too
long,
particularly
the
speaker
cables,
it
may
result
in
degraded
sound.
Keep
the
connection
cables
as
short
as
possible.
The
receiver
draws
nominal
non-operating
power
from
the
AC
outlet
with
its

it
will
be
necessary
to

will
be
sufficient;
if
you

it
may
be

should
be
connected
as
followings:
first

polarities,
as
shown
in

@
Do
not
use
an

and
a
new
battery
at
the

time.
e
Use
batteries
of
the
same
type.
Never
use
batteries
of
different
types
together,
even
if
they
are
the
same
shape.
@
Both
rechargeable
and
non-rechargeable
batteries
can
be
used. Refer
to
the
cautions
on
their
labels
before
use.
©
Do
not
disassemble

never
dispose
of

Cautions
on
Use
of
the
Remote
Control
Unit
Even
when
the
remote
control
unit
is
used
within
the
range
shown,
if
there
is
any
obstacle
between
it
and
the
receiver,
operation
will
be
impossible.
If
you
have
other
appliances
controlled
by
infrared
signals
installed
in
the
same
room
as
your
AG-620,
these could
be
operated
erroneously
by
signals
from
the
remote
control.
(TEAC
cannot
take
responsibility
for
any
incidental
or
consequential
damage
this
may
cause.)
Conversely,
their
remote
controls
could
cause
the
AG-620
to
operate
erroneously.
Be
careful
not
to
place
books,
etc.
on
the
remote
control
unit.
These
could
press
its
buttons
in
which
case
its
batteries
would
become
exhausted
more
quickly.
When
the
remote
control
unit
is
not
to
be
used
for
more
than
a
month
or
so,
remove
the
batteries
so
they
cannot
leak
and
cause
damage.
If
they
do
leak,
clean
the
battery
compartment
by
wiping
with
a
clean
tissue,
then
insert
new
batteries.

is
connected
to
the

using
a
remote

cable
(optionally
available),
its

are
remote

using

can
be
remote

is
used
in
a
system
with
a
TEAC
CD
Player
and
a
TEAC
cassette
deck
(with
full-logic
control),
it
is
possible
to
synchronize
the
operations
of
the
CD
player
and
cassette
deck,
so
that
they
can
be
started
at
exactly
the
same
time,
when
copying
a
CD
onto
tape.
In
this
configuration,
the
CD
player's
CD/DECK
SYNC
terminal
and
the
cassette
deck's
CD/DECK
SYNC
terminal
should
be
connected
using
the
optional
WR-7000
sync
cable
(note
that
this
is
different
from
the
optional

cable).
Synchronized
operation
of
the

can
be
started
by
pressing
either
the
