15) Lightning -- For added protection for this product during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product
due to lightning and power-line surges.
16) Power Lines -- An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light
or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits.
When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be
taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact
with them might be fatal.
17) Overloading -- Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or
integral convenience receptacles as this can result in risk of fire or
electric shock.
18) Object and Liquid Entry -- Never push objects of any kind into
this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
19) Servicing -- Do not attempt to service this product yourself as
opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage
or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
20) Damage Requiring Service -- Unplug this product from the
wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under
the following conditions:
a) when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b) if liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product.
c) if the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d) if the product does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by
the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work
by a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal
operation.
e) if the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.
f ) when the product exhibits a distinct change in performance _ this
indicates a need for service.
21) Replacement Parts -- When replacement parts are required,
be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified
by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original
part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or
other hazards.
22) Safety Check -- Upon completion of any service or repairs to
this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the product is in proper operating condition.
23) Wall or Ceiling Mounting -- The product should be mounted to
a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
24) Heat -- The product should be situated away from heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
10) Ventilation -- Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to
protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked
or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the
product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product
should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or
rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's
instructions have been adhered to.
11) Power Sources -- This product should be operated only from
the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are
not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your
product dealer or local power company. For products intended to
operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating
instructions.
12) Grounding or Polarization -- This product may be equipped
with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only
one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug
fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail
to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
13) Power-Cord Protection -- Power-supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the product.
14) Outdoor Antenna Grounding -- If an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or
cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with
regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding
conductors,
location
of
antenna-discharge
unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode.

Before Use
... Place the receiver on a hard, flat
surface.
... The ventilation holes should not be
covered. Make sure there is at least 50
cm (20 inches) of space above and at
least 10 cm (4 inches) of space beside
the receiver. Do not place a CD player or
other equipment on top of the receiver.
... Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or
close to a source of heat. Also avoid
locations subject to vibrations and
excessive dust, heat, cold or moisture.
... Do not open the cabinet, as this might
result in circuitry damage or electrical
shock.
... Do not attempt to clean the unit with
chemical solvents as this might damage
the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
How to connect
(1) Twist the wires tightly together so that
they are not straggly.
(2) Turn the terminal cap counterclockwise
to loosen it.
The speaker terminal caps cannot be
fully removed from the base.
(3) Insert the wire into the terminal fully and
turn the terminal cap clockwise to
securely connect it.

Notes on power sources
Caution:
To avoid damaging the speakers by inputing
a sudden high-level signal, be sure to
switch the power off before connecting the
speakers.
Before connecting
... Check the impedance of your speakers.
Connect speaker with an impedance of 8
to 16 ohms.
The receiver's red speaker terminals are
the (positive) terminals and the black
terminals are the ­ (negative) terminals.
... The side of the speaker cable is
marked to make it distinguishable from
the ­ side of the cable. Connect this
marked side to the red terminal and
the unmarked side to the black terminal.
... Prepare
the
speaker
cords
for
connection
by
stripping
off
approximately 10 mm or less (no more as
this could cause a short-circuit) of the
outer insulation.

IMPORTANT (for U.K. Customers)
DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this
equipment. If the plug fitted is not
suitable for the power points in your
home or the cable is too short to reach
a
power
point,
then
obtain
an
appropriate safety approved extension
lead or consult your dealer.
If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off,
remove the fuse and dispose of the plug
immediately, to avoid a possible shock
hazard by inadvertent connection to the
mains supply.
If this product is not provided with a
mains plug, or one has to be fitted, then
follow the instructions given below:
IMPORTANT.
DO
NOT

product are coloured in accordance
with the following code:
BLUE:
NEUTRAL
BROWN:
LIVE
As these colours may not correspond

marked with the letter N or coloured
BLACK.
The wire which is coloured BROWN
must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter L or
coloured RED.
When replacing the fuse only a
correctly rated approved type should
be used and be sure to re-fit the fuse
cover.
IF
IN

Speaker placement
The playback characteristics of the
speakers are greatly influenced by the
placement and the room in which the
speakers are used. To find the best location
for the speakers play back some music
without using the tone controls and move
the speakers around. However, please keep
the following in mind:
... Place the speakers on a flat, solid
surface which is free from vibrations.
... Place the speakers in an area that is well
ventilated. Do not place the speakers in
a humid place.
... Keep the speakers away from direct
sunlight and heat sources (stoves, etc.).
... Keep the speakers away from the
turntable.
