UNPACKING

After

unpacking

the

Recital

II,

inspect

it

carefully

for

any

signs

of

damage

in

transit.

Your

unit

was

subjected

to

many

inspections

and

tests,

and

then

carefully

packed.

If

any

damage

is

visible,

notify

the

transportation

com-

pany

at

once.

Check

the

contents

of

the

package

carefully.

You

should

Warranty

Card

It

is

strongly

urged

that

the

warranty

card

be

com-

pleted

and

mailed

without

delay,

to

protect

your

rights

under

the

warranty.

If

you

should

require

repair

serv-

ice

or

information

on

the

use

of

the

Recital

II,

we

will

be

able

to

identify

your

unit

immediately,

and

respond

quickly.

VENTILATION

All

electrical

equipment

generates

heat

which

must

be

allowed

to

escape.

Although

the

Recital

II

is

well

ventilated

in

itself,

sufficient

space

should

be

allowed

around

it

to

permit

free

air

flow.

If

it

is

placed

in

a

bookcase,

it

should

be

located

well

toward

the

front,

to

provide

as

much

clearance

as

possible

at

the

rear.

Do

not

put

books

or

other

objects

on

top

of

the

Recital

H.

Covering

the

perforated

tube

grill

will

reduce

the

ventilation

and

result

in

sharply

reduced

component

and

tube

life.

CONNECTIONS

AM

ANTENNA

The

Harman

-

Kardon

ferrite

loopstick,

built

into

the

Recital

II,

comprises

all

the

antenna

required

for

the

finest

in

noise

-free

local

AM

reception.

In

locations

more

removed

from

metropolitan

areas,

an

outdoor

antenna

may

be

required.

This

should

consist

of

a

sin-

gle

wire,

as

long

as

is

reasonably

practical,

located

away

from

large

metal

objects,

power

lines

or

electri-

cal

machinery.

Connect

one

end

to

the

AM

terminal

of

the

ANTENNA

terminal

strip

on

the

rear

of

the

chassis.

FM

ANTENNA

all

A

short

length

of

ordinary

wire,

connected

to

the

terminal

marked

FM

will

prove

adequate

in

most

in-

stallations.

A

loop

of

wire,

approximately

36

inches

long,

connected

between

"FM"

and

"G"

and

hung

inside

the

cabinet

will

prove

useful

in

increasing

the

rejection

of

spurious

signals.

In

those

situations

requiring

an

external

FM

antenna,

connections

should

be

made

be-

tween

"G"

and

"FM."

A

single

dipole

will

be

useful

when

stations

to

.

be

received

are

located

in

opposite

directions

from

each

other.

A

non

-directional

dipole

should

be

used

if

the

stations

are

located

in

dispersed

directions.

A

folded

dipole

antenna

with

reflector

will

provide

maximum

efficiency

and

may

increase

the

num-

ber

of

distant

FM

stations

your

Recital

II

can

receive.

POWER

the

power

cord

into

any

outlet

The

exact

is

relatively
