ANTENNAS

FM

Antenna

If

experiencing

poor

FM

reception

while

using

the

accessory

antenna,

the

use

of

an

outdoor

antenna

exclusively

for

FM

reception

is

likely

to

improve

FM

reception.

The

connecting

wire

between

the

antenna

and

the

antenna

input

terminal

is

called

a

feeder.

Most

feeders

are

300

Ohm

parallel

or

75

Ohm

coaxial

cables.

We

recommend

type

3C

-2V

or

5C

-2V

75

Ohm

coaxial

cable

to

be

used

with

this

unit

to

enable

it

to

perform

to

its

fullest

capacity.

The

coaxial

cable

has

a

stronger

resistance

against

loss

and

interference

compared

to

a

parallel

feeder.

If

there

is

a

lot

of

noise

while

receiving

an

FM

broadcast,

we

recommend

that

you

make

a

ground

connection.

Connect

one

end

of

a

thick

wire

to

the

antenna

"GND"

terminal

and

wind

the

other

end

around

an

earth

bar

or

earth

plate

and

drive

it

into

the

ground.

Unfold

the

to

a

and

secure

both

ends

in

the

position

that

provides

optimum

CAUTION:

Never

make

a

connection

to

a

gas

pipe

because

it

can

cause

fire

hazard.

AM

Antenna

The

AM

loop

antenna

attached

to

this

unit

allows

sufficient

reception,

except

in

an

area

where

AM

signals

are

weak.

In

a

fringe

area

or

inside

a

concrete

building

where

the

re-

ception

is

weak

and

the

sound

quality

is

poor,

an

outdoor

AM

antenna

is

likely

to

improve

reception.

Place

the

AM

loop

antenna

as

far

away

from

this

unit

as

possible,

e.g.

hang

it

on

wall,

without

touching

a

metal

object.

You

may

also

install

the

AM

loop

antenna

by

fi

tting

it

onto

the

antenna

holder

on

the

rear

panel.

To

remove

the

AM

loop

antenna

from

the

unit,

simply

pull

it

out

of

the

holder.

Connecting

Other

Components

Carefully

connect

the

plugs

to

the

left

and

right

channel

jacks.

Push the

plugs

in

all

the

way.

Poor

setting

of

the

plugs

tends

to

cause

hum

or

intermittent

sound

and

may

damage

the

speakers.

NOTE:

While

you

are

connecting

this

unit

to

the

rest

of

your

high

fidelity

system,

please

unplug

the

power

cord,

disconnecting

not

only

this

unit

but

all

the

components,

from

the

AC

outlet.

Do

not

interwind

the

connection

wires

with

the

power

cord.

If

interwound,

the

sound

quality

may

be

degraded.

AC

Convenience

Receptacles

This

unit

is

provided

with

three

AC

convenience

receptacles

on

the

rear

panel

for

supplying

power

to

a

turntable,

tape

deck

or

other

low

power

component.

The

"SWITCHED"

receptacles

have

a

combined

power

capacity

of

180

watts.

The

"UNSWITCHED"

receptacle

has

a

power

capacity

of

180

watts.

Check

the

component's

owner's

manual

to

find

its

power

requirement.

SWITCHED:

The

power

to

this

receptacle

is

turned

on

and

off

by

this

unit's

power

switch.

UNSWITCHED:

The

power

to

this

receptacle

is

independent

of

this

unit's

power

switch.

Connecting

Speakers

Connect

the

speaker

wires

carefully

to

the

speaker

terminals

on

the

rear

panel

so

as

not

to

mistake

the

left

and

the

right

channels

or

reverse

the

speaker

polarities

(+

and

—

).

Use

sufficiently

thick

wire

(18

gauge

for

short

lengths,

16—

12

gauge

for

longer

lengths).

It

is

recommended

to

use

color

-coded

wire

for

easy

polarity

identification. Speaker

wires

should

be

as

short

as

possible,

and

the

left

and

the

right

channel

wires

should

be

the

same

length.

Remove

about

3/4

of

insulation

from

the

end

of

each

wire

and

twist

the

strands

of

each

end.

After

making

sure

of

the

correct

channel

and

polarity,

loosen

the

"SPEAKER

SYSTEM"

terminal

knob

and

insert

the

conductor

directly

into

the

recess

at

the

upper

-

right

of

the

terminal.

Then

tighten

the

terminal

knob,

and

the

end

of

speaker

wire

is

automatically

wound

around

the

terminal.

s,

CAUTION:

Two

speaker

systems

can

be

connected

to

this

unit.

The

minimum

speaker

impedance

should

be

8

Ohm

when

only

one

speaker

system

is

connected.

When

two

speaker

systems

are

connected,

care

should

be

taken

that

net

impedance

does

not

become

less

than

8

Ohm.
