• Do not expose your receiver to extreme temperature or humidity.
• Avoid placing your receiver on a hot surface such as on top of other hot running equipment. Make sure that there is adequate ventilation to your receiver.

Connecting the antennas

1. Assemble the AM antenna.
   
2. To connect the indoor AM antenna, press the GND and AM Loop levers, insert the ends of the wires, then release the levers. Make sure that only the bare, stripped wire is inserted in the jack.
   
3. Connect the indoor FM antenna to the FM jack on the back of the receiver.
4. Later, move the antennas until you get the best reception of your favorite AM and FM stations.

Connecting audio-only devices

Connecting devices with video

1. Connect the cable from the Audio Out jack on the audio device to the L/R AUX IN (1 or 2) jacks on the receiver.
2. Connect the video cable(s) (component, composite, HDMI, or coaxial) from the output jack on the video device to the appropriate input jack on your TV.

NOTE: For more information on connecting a recording device, such as a VCR or tape deck, refer to the User Guide.

Connecting speakers

NOTE: If you have only one pair of speakers, connect them to the SPEAKER A terminals.

1. Turn the terminal cap to loosen it.
2. Insert the bare wire into the terminal and tighten the terminal cap to securely connect it. Make sure that you strip the wire adequately so that none of the wire insulation is under the terminal.
3. Make sure cables are secure by lightly pulling on them.
   NOTE: Connect speakers by matching the channel (left and right) and polarity (+ and -). If the sound is unnatural and lacks bass, the speaker polarity is incorrect.

Connecting headphones
