Checking what's in the box
Please check that you've received the following
supplied accessories:
· AM loop antenna
· FM wire antenna
· Dry cell batteries (AA size IEC R6P) x 2
· Remote control
· These operating instructions
Installing the receiver
Please note the following points:
· Do not place
objects directly
on top of this unit.
This would
prevent proper
heat dispersal.
· When installing on a rack, shelf, etc., be
sure to leave more than 8 inches (20 cm.)
of space above the receiver.
Making cable connections
Make sure not to bend the cables over the top
of this unit (as shown in the illustration). If this
happens, the
magnetic field
produced by the
transformers in
this unit may
cause a humming
noise from the
speakers.
Loading the batteries
Incorrect use of batteries may result in such
hazards as leakage and bursting. Observe the
following precautions:
· Never use new and old batteries together.
· Insert the plus and minus sides of the
batteries properly according to the marks
in the battery case.
· Batteries with the same shape may have
different voltages. Do not use different
batteries together.
· When disposing of used batteries, please
comply with governmental regulations or
environmental public instruction's rules
that apply in your country or area.
Operating range of remote
control unit
The remote control may not work properly if:
· There are obstacles between the remote
control and the receiver's remote sensor.
· Direct sunlight or fluorescent light is
shining onto the remote sensor.
· The receiver is located near a device that is
emitting infrared rays.
· The receiver is operated simultaneously
with another infrared remote control unit.
