Ground wire
75 ohm
coaxial cable
Supplied FM antenna
Connect the FM antenna wire to the FM 75 OHMS terminal
and position the FM antenna wire in the direction where the
strongest signal can be received.
Supplied AM loop antenna
Connect the AM loop antenna wire to the AM and GND termi-
nals.
Position the AM loop antenna for optimum reception. Place the
AM loop antenna on a shelf, etc., or attach it to a stand or a
wall with screws (not supplied).
Notes:
When static is still heard even after adjusting the position of
the AM loop antenna, try reversing the wire connections.
Do not place the AM loop antenna and the FM antenna wire
on the unit. It may result in noise generation, since the unit is
equipped with digital electronics.
Place the AM loop antenna and the FM antenna wire away
from the unit for better reception.
If the AM loop antenna and the FM antenna wire are placed
near the AC power cord, interference may result.

Outdoor FM antenna
Use an outdoor FM antenna (75 ohm coaxial cable)
if you require better reception. Consult your dealer.
Note:
When an outdoor FM antenna is used, disconnect the sup-
plied FM antenna wire from the FM 75 OHMS terminal.
Outdoor AM antenna
Use an outdoor AM antenna if you need better reception. Con-
sult your dealer.

Connect each speaker wire to the SPEAKER terminals as
shown.
Use speakers with an impedance of 6 ohms or more, as lower
impedance speakers can damage the unit.
Caution:
Before connecting the speakers to the unit, connect the
speaker wires to the speakers first. Then, connect the
speaker wires to the terminals on the unit.
Connect the speakers to the main unit before you use the
system. If the speakers are not connected before opera-
tion, the system may be damaged.
Notes:
Connect the black wire to the minus (–) terminal, and the
red wire to the plus (+) terminal.
Do not mix the right channel and left channel wiring when
connecting the speakers to the unit.
Do not let bare speaker wires touch each other as this may
damage the amplifier and/or speakers.
