Speaker

System

Connections

•

This

receiver

can

accommodate

connections

of

a

total

of

eight

speakers

including

two

set

of

(front)

main

amplifier

speakers

(A

and

B),

one

set

of

rear

speakers,

and

one

or

two

center

speakers.

•

Connect

the

speaker

terminals

with

the

speakers

making

sure

that

like

polarities

are

matched

(Cs

with

0 ,

e

with

e).

Mismatching

of

polarities

will

result

in

weak

central

sound,

unclear

orientation

of

the

various

instruments,

and

the

sense

of

direction

of

the

stereo

being

impaired.

•

When

making

connections,

take

care

that

none

of

the

indi-

vidual

conductors

of

the

speaker

cord

come

in

contact

with

adjacent

terminals,

with

other

speaker

cord

conductors,

or

with

the

rear

panel.

•

Speaker

Impedance

•

•

When

speaker

systems

A

and

B

are

use

separately,

speakers

with

an

impedance

of

from

6

to

16

4

/ohms

can

be

connected.

•

Be

careful

when

using

two

pairs

of

main

speakers

(A

+

8)

at

the

same

time,

since

use

of

speakers

with

an

impedance

outside

the.range

of

12

to

16

/ohms

will

lead

to

damage.

•

Speakers

with

an

impedance

of

6

to

12

0/ohms

can

be

connected

for

use

as

center

and

rear

speakers.

•

The

protection

circuit

may

operate

or

damage

may

occur

when

speakers

with

an

impednce

outside

of

the

above

range

are

used.

ANTENNA

INSTALLATION

•

FM

ANTENNA

The

supplied

FM

antenna

can

be

used

inside

wooden

houses

for

receiving

local

FM

stations

and

other

strong

FM

signals.

Stretch

out

the

ends

of

the

antenna

and

mount

the

antenna

on

the

wall

or

ceiling

where

optimum

reception

is

achieved.

A

indoor

FM

antennas

may

not

consistently

ensure

stable

recep-

tion,

due

to

environment

changes.

In

such

cases,

the

indoor

FM

antenna

should

only

be

used

temporarily

until

an

outdoor

FM

antenna

has

been

installed.

When

connecting

an

outdoor

FM

antenna,

the

use

of

75

ohm

coaxial

cable

(3C

-2V,

5C

-2V)

is

strongly

recommended.

•

AM

ANTENNA

Attach

the

supplied

AM

loop

antenna

even

when

using

an

outdoor

AM

antenna.

Connect

the

leads

to

the

AM

and

GND

terminals.

Also

use

the

AM

terminals

for

connecting

an

outdoor

AM

antenna

(when.making

such

a

connection

do

not

disconnect

the

AM

loop

antenna.)

Adjust

the

loop

antenna

to

obtain

optimum

recep-

tion,

Where

broadcast

stations

are

distant

and

only

weak

signals

are

received,

or

where

signals

are

blocked,

it

is

best

to

install

an

outdoor

AM

antenna.

NOTES

•

This

receiver

has

a

full

back-up

system.

When

the

power

is

turned

on,

the

INPUT

SELECTOR

buttons

are

set

to

the

last

mode

set

before

the

power

was

turned

off.

•

When

using

this

receiver

in

close

proximity

to

video

equipment

(TV,

VCR,

VDP,

etc.),

noise

may

be

generated

in

AM

broadcasts.

To

avoid

this,

keep

the

receiver

as

far

away

from

other

video

components

as

possible,

or

detach

the

AM

loop

antenna

from

the

antenna

holder

and

place

it

where

noise

is

reduced.

If

the

noise

is

not

reduced,

turn

off

the

power

of

the

video

components

when

listening

to

AM

broadcasts.

Note

to

CATV

system

installer:

This

reminder

is

provided

to

call

the

CATV

system

installer's

attention

to

Article

820.40

of

the

NEC

which

provides

guidelines

for

proper

grounding

and,

in

particular,

specifies

that

the

cable

ground

shall

be

connected

to

the

grounding

system

of

the

building,

as

close.to

the

point

of

cable

entry

as

practical.
