English Introduction Precautions How to Read This Manual Installation To make this manual as simple and easy-to-understand as possible, we have adapted the following methods: • Button and control operations are explained as listed in the table below. • Some related tips and notes are explained later in the sections “Additional Information” and “Troubleshooting,” but not in the same section explaining the operations.
Step 1:Unpack the package and check the accessories. English Getting Started Step 1: Unpack After unpacking, check to be sure that you have all the following items. The number in parentheses indicates the quantity of each piece supplied. • FM antenna (1) • AM loop antenna (1) • Composite video cord (1) • Remote control (1) • Batteries (2) If any item is missing, consult your dealer immediately.
English Step 3: Hook Up If you need more detailed information, see page 6. Before connecting optical digital cord Illustrations of the input/output terminals below are typical examples. When you connect other components, refer also to their manuals since the terminal names actually printed on the rear may vary. Remove the protective cap from the DVD OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT terminal. Turn the power off to all components before connections.
English For better FM/AM reception Outdoor FM antenna (not supplied) AM loop antenna Keep it connected. Vinyl-covered wire (not supplied) Extend it horizontally. Disconnect the supplied FM antenna, and connect to an outdoor FM antenna using a 75 Ω wire with coaxial type connector. FM antenna (supplied) Extend it so that you can obtain the best reception. AM loop antenna (supplied) Turn it until the best reception is obtained.
English To connect the AM loop antenna IMPORTANT 1 Hold 3 Release 2 Insert • If the AM loop antenna wire or speaker cords are covered with vinyl, remove the vinyl to expose the tip of the antenna by twisting the vinyl. • Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals, connecting cords and power cord. Also, keep the antennas away from metallic parts of the System, connecting cords, and the AC power cord. This could cause poor reception.
