Read all of these instructions.
Save these instructions for later use.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the
audio equipment.
Read Instructions — All the safety and operating instructions
should be read before the appliance is operated.
Retain Instructions — The safety and operating instructions
should be retained for future reference.
Heed Warnings — All warnings on the appliance and in the
operating instructions should be adhered to.
. Follow Instructions — All operating and use instructions
should be followed.
. Water and Moisture — The appliance should not be used
near water — for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen
sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming
pool, etc.
. Carts and Stands — The appliance should be used only with
a cart or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.
An appliance and cart combination should be moved with
care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may
cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
. Wall or Ceiling Mounting — The appliance should be mount-
ed to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manu-
facturer.
. Ventilation — The appliance should be situated so that its
location or position does not interfere with its proper venti-
lation. For example, the appliance should not be situated
on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the
ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in installation,
such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of
air through the ventilation openings.
. Heat — The appliance should be situated away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Power Sources — The appliance should be connected to a
power supply only of the type described in the operating in-
structions or as marked on the appliance.
Grounding or Polarization — The precautions that should
be taken so that the grounding or polarization means of an
appliance is not defeated.
Power-Cord Protection — Power-supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinch-
ed by items placed upon or against them, paying particular
attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and
the point where they exit from the appliance.

Cleaning — The appliance should be cleaned only as recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
Power Lines — An outdoor antenna should be located away
from power lines.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an outside antenna is
connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage
surges and built up static charges. Section 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70 — 1984, pro-
vides information with respect to proper grounding of the
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding con-
ductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode. See Figure below.

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 POWER switch in the
STANDBY position.

TO THE USER
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against interference in a residential
area. This device generates and uses radio
frequency energy and if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, it may cause
interference to radio or TV reception. If this unit
does cause interference with TV or radio
reception you can try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
a) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
b) Increase the separation between the
equipment and the receiver.
c) Plug the equipment into a different outlet so
that it is not on the same circuit as the
receiver.
If necessary, consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for additional suggestions.
CAUTION
Changes or modifications to this equipment not
expressly approved by TEAC CORPORATION for
compliance could void the user's authority to
operate this equipment.

VIDEO 2 INPUT Jacks
Antenna Connections __
In addition to the rear panel jacks, another set of
VIDEO 2 INPUT jacks are provided on the front panel
for the convenience of users who want to connect a
compact video camera recorder or portable video
source component.
If the two sets of VIDEO 2 INPUT jacks are used (front
panel and rear panel) and the AG-V1020 detects that a
video signal is input to the front panel jack, priority is
given to the front panel jacks and the rear panel jacks
will be disconnected.

FM Antenna (U.S.A./Canada)
In an area with strong FM signals, the “T"-type FM
antenna provided is sufficient. Extend this in the
shape of a T and connect the two wires at the base of
the T to the antenna terminals, as shown. For details
of how to connect the antenna wires to the terminals,
see the illustration.
Extend the top of the T and fix with thumb tacks, etc.
to a wall or window frame, for the best possible
reception.

How to connect antenna
Press down the lever and insert the stripped
end of the wire into the correct hole then move
the lever up so that the wire is held securely.
In an area where FM signals are weak, it will be
necessary to use a 75-ohm unbalanced type outdoor
FM antenna. Generally, a 3-element antenna will be
sufficient; if you live in an area where the FM signals
are particularly weak, it may be necessary to use one
with 5 or more elements.
75-ohm antennas use a coaxial cable and should be
connected as followings: first strip the covering of the
cable, then twist the wire shielding so the inner core
and shielding can be connected as shown.

AM Antenna
@ AM Loop Antenna
A high-performance AM loop antenna is provided with
the receiver and this is sufficient for good reception in
most areas.
Attach the loop antenna to the snap-in hinge on the
supplied loop antenna stand then connect its wires to
the AM antenna terminals as shown. For details of
connecting antenna wires to the terminals, see
“How to connect antenna" on page 6.
Place the antenna stand on a shelf, etc. or attach it to
a wall, etc. with screws so that it is as far away as
possible from the entire system, speaker cords and
the power cord to prevent noise.
As shown, turn the loop antenna for the best
reception.
There is a hole in the loop antenna and this can be
used to suspend the antenna from a screw in a
window frame, etc.

@ AM Outdoor Antenna
If the AM loop antenna provided does not provide
sufficiently good reception (because you are too far
from the transmitter or in a concrete building, etc.), it
may be necessary to use an outdoor AM antenna.
Use an insulated wire more than 15 ft (5 m) long, strip
one end, and connect this to the terminal shown. The
antenna wire should be strung outdoors or indoors
near a window. For better reception, connect the
GND terminal to a reliable ground.
Note: Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do
not disconnect the AM loop antenna.

Caution:
To avoid damaging the speakers by inputting a
sudden high level signal, before connecting the
speakers, be sure to switch the power off.
Connect the main pair of the speakers to the
SPEAKERS A terminals, and connect the second pair
to the SPEAKERS B terminals.
Connect the speaker cords to the speaker terminals as
shown in the following illustration.
* Press the lever, insert the stripped end of the
cord, then release the lever so that the cord is
held securely.
