CONNECTING THE INCLUDED ANTENNAS
Installing the FM indoor antenna
Tune in FM station (see page 12), set the
antenna so that distortion and noise is minimal,
then secure the tip of the antenna in this
position using tape or a pin.
Installing the AM loop antenna
Tune in an AM station (see page 12) and set
the antenna as far from the system as possible
to keep distortion and noise is minimal. In
some cases, it is best to invert the polarities.
AM broadcasts cannot be received well if the
loop antenna is not connected or if it is set
close to metal objects.
Connecting an FM outdoor antenna
If good reception cannot be achieved with the
included FM antenna, use an FM outdoor
antenna. Connect an PAL-type connector to
the coaxial cable and connect the antenna to
the FM COAX. (75 Ω/ohms) terminal.
Selecting a place for the FM outdoor antenna
• Set the antenna so that it points towards the
broadcast station’s transmitting antenna.
Behind buildings or mountains, set the
antenna in the position at which reception is
best, and also try changing the direction of
the antenna.
• Do not install the antenna under power lines.
Doing so is extremely dangerous, as the
power line could touch the antenna.
• Install the antenna away from roads or train
tracks to avoid noise from cars or trains.
• Do not install the antenna too high, as it may
be hit by lightning.

CAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION

BEFORE USING
Read the following before using the system.
• Before turning on the power
Check again that all connections are correct
and that there are no problems with the
connection cords. Be sure to unplug the
power cord before connecting or
disconnecting the connection cords.
Humming may be produced if this system is
set near a TV or other audio equipment. If
this happens, try changing the position of the
equipment or the connection cords.
• Moving the system
Be sure to remove CD before moving the
system. If a CD is left in the CD receiver, it
may be scratched.
To prevent short-circuits or damage to the
connection cords, always unplug the power
cord and disconnect all connection cords to
other audio equipment.
• Condensation (dew)
Condensation (water droplets) may be
produced on internal optical lenses or discs in
the following cases:
• Directly after a heater is turned on.
• When the system is in a steamy or humid
room.
• When the system is moved abruptly from a
cold place (room) to a warm room.
• Should condensation occur:
The signals on the disc cannot be read and
the system will not function properly.
Remove the disc then let the system set with
the power on. The condensation will
evaporate in one hour or less, at which time
the system will function normally.

After reading, store this instructions along
with the warranty in a safe place. Also fill in
the items on the back paper for your
