radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.

FOR U.S.A AND CANADA ..............................120 V
Units shipped to the U.S.A and Canada are designed
for operation on 120 V AC only.
Safety precaution with use of a polarized AC plug.
However, some products may be supplied with a
nonpolarized plug.
CAUTION : To prevent electric shock, match wide
blade of plug to wide slot, fully insert.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
FOR EUROPE AND AUSTRALIA .........230 V/240 V
Units shipped to Australia are designed for operation
on 240 V AC only.
To ensure safe operation, the three-pin plug supplied
must be inserted only into a standard three-pin
power point which is effectively earthed through the
normal household wiring. Extension cords used with
the equipment must be three-core and be correctly
wired to provide connection to earth.
Improper extension cords are a major cause of
fatalities. The fact that the equipment operates
satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is
earthed and that the installation is completely safe.
For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective
earthing of the power point, consult a qualified
electrician.
PAN-EUROPEAN UNIFIED VOLTAGE
All units are suitable for use on supplies 230~240 V
AC.

AM loop antenna
Do not plug the AC input cord into the wall AC outlet until all connections are completed.
Be sure to connect the white RCA pin cord to the L(left) and the red RCA pin cord to the R(right) jacks when making audio
connections.
Change the position of the FM indoor antenna until you get the best reception of your favorite FM stations.
A 75 outdoor FM antenna may be used to further improve the reception.
Disconnect the indoor antenna before replacing it with the outdoor one.
Place the AM loop antenna as far as possible from the receiver, TV set, speaker cords and the AC input cord and set it to a
direction for the best reception.
If the reception is poor with the AM loop antenna, an AM outdoor antenna can be used in place of the AM loop antenna.
Make connections firmly and correctly. If not, it can cause loss of sound, noise or damage to the receiver.
If the electricity fails or the AC input cord is left unplugged for more than 2 weeks, the memorized contents will be cleared.
Should this happen, memorize them again.
