Connections Connecting Speakers Connect the speaker cords carefully so as not to mistake the left and the right channels and reverse the speaker polarities (+ and -). 1. Use sufficiently thick cords (for example, 30-strand cords) with low electric resistance. It is recommended to use color-coded cords for easy discrimination of polarities. Speaker cords should be as short as possible, and the left and the right channel cords should have the same length. 2. Connection is carried out by inserting the wires. Remove about half an inch (12 mm) of insulation from the end of each cord, and twist the strands of each conductor. 3. Push the plastic head of the connector, and insert the bare end of the cord into the center opening. When the head is released, the end of the cord is automatically held in place. L12 mm--*1 6 Caution: Two speaker systems can be connected to this unit. The minimum speaker impedance should be 452 when only one speaker system is connected, and 82 when two speaker systems are connected. Connecting Other Component •Make certain that the POWER LINE CORD is unplugged from the AC outlet when other component is to be connected with it. Unplug or turn off other component which is already connected with the unit when another piece is to be connected. •Connect the left and the right channels properly without reversing polarities. •Push the plugs in all the way. Unfirm seating of the plugs tend to cause noises or discontinuous sounds. Caution: The capacity of AC convenience outlet at the rear panel is 180W. It is very dangerous to connect component with a capacity for more. Read manual or labels on the component to check its watt consumption before connecting it to this unit. Antenna Connections •Connecting a 752 Coaxial Cable 1. Remove the insulation from the cable about half an inch (15 mm), and fold the braided shielding back. 15mm--1 2. Remove the coating of the core leaving about 1/8 inches (3 mm) from the insulation, exposing the core. Braided shielding Wg = 3mm Fold back the braided shielding Coating Core 3. Loosen the clamp located leftside the FM antenna terminal, and insert the cable. Insert the core into the antenna terminal, and screw it in. Retighten the screw of the clamp. FM 75E1 UNBAL FM 30011 BAL O11) AM •Connecting a 3002 Parallel Feeder 1. Remove about half an inch (12 mm) of insulation from each end of the feeder, and FNT twist the strands of each 30052 conductor. 2. Insert the strands around the FM antenna terminals AM and tighten the screws. •Connecting a Feeder Antenna Insert the cord of the feeder antenna around the FM antenna terminal and screw it in. •Connecting an AM Outdoor Antenna Insert the feeder of the AM antenna around the AM antenna terminal and screw it in. 8

be
connected
to

Connecting
Other
Component
•Make
certain
that
the
POWER
LINE
CORD
is
unplugged
from
the
AC
outlet
when
other
component
is
to
be
con-
nected
with
it.
Unplug
or
turn
off
other
component
which
is
already
connected
with
the
unit
when
another
piece
is
to
be
connected.
•Connect
the
left
and
the
right
channels
properly
without
reversing
polarities.
•Push
the
plugs
in
all
the
way.
Unfirm
seating
of
the

Caution:
The
