instructions
in
the
literature
accompanying the appliance.
Read these Operating Instructions carefully and completely
before operating the unit. All precautions in this booklet and
on the unit should be strictly followed.
Keep the Operating Instructions for future reference.
Installation
1 Water and moisture -- Do not use this unit near water,
such as near a bathtub, washbowl, swimming pool, or the
like.
2 Heat -- Do not use this unit near sources of heat, including
heating vents, stoves, or other appliances that generate heat.
It also should not be placed in temperatures less than 5°C
(41°F) or greater than 35°C (95°F).
3 Mounting surface -- Place the unit on a flat, even surface.
4 Ventilation -- The unit should be situated with adequate
space around it so that proper heat ventilation is assured.
Allow 10 cm (4 in.) clearance from the rear and the top of
the unit, and 5 cm (2 in.) from each side.
- Do not place the unit on a bed, rug, or similar surface that
may block the ventilation openings.
- Do not install the unit in a bookcase, cabinet, or airtight
rack where ventilation may be impeded.
5 Objects and liquid entry -- Make sure that objects or
liquids do not get inside the unit through the ventilation
openings.
6 Carts and stands -- When placed or
mounted on a stand or cart, the unit should
be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive
force, and uneven surfaces may cause the
unit or cart to overturn or fall.
7 Condensation -- Moisture may form on the CD pickup
lens when:
- The unit is moved from a cold spot to a warm spot
- The heating system has just been turned on
- The unit is used in a very humid room
- The unit is cooled by an air conditioner
When this unit has condensation inside, it may not function
normally. Should this occur, leave the unit for a few hours,
then try to operate again.
8 Wall or ceiling mounting -- The unit should not be
mounted on a wall or ceiling, unless specified in the
Operating Instructions.
Electric Power
1 Power sources -- Connect this unit only to power sources
specified in the Operating Instructions, and as marked on
the unit.
2 Polarization -- As a safety feature, some units are
equipped with polarized AC power plugs which can only be
inserted one way into a power outlet. If it is difficult or
impossible to insert the AC power plug into an outlet, turn
the plug over and try again. If it still does not easily insert
into the outlet, please call a qualified service technician to
service or replace the outlet. To avoid defeating the safety
feature of the polarized plug, do not force it into a power
outlet.
3 AC power cord
- When disconnecting the AC power cord, pull it out by the
AC power plug. Do not pull the cord itself.
- Never handle the AC power plug with wet hands, as this
could result in fire or shock.
- Power cords should be firmly secured to avoid being
severely bent, pinched, or walked upon. Pay particular
attention to the cord from the unit to the AC outlet.
- Avoid overloading AC outlets and extension cords beyond
their capacity, as this could result in fire or shock.
4 Extension cord -- To help prevent electric shock, do not
use a polarized AC power plug with an extension cord,
receptacle, or other outlet unless the polarized plug can be
completely inserted to prevent exposure of the blades of the
plug.
5 When not in use -- Unplug the AC power cord from the
AC outlet if the unit will not be used for several months or
more. When the cord is plugged in, a small amount of
current continues to flow to the unit, even when the power
is turned off.

sunlight, etc., or if its line of sight is obstructed.
Connection
Plug in the AC power cord to the AC power outlet after all other
connections are made.
1 Connect the speakers.
Connect the right speaker to the SPEAKERS R terminals
and the left to the SPEAKERS L terminals. The speaker
cords with the stripes go to the 0 terminals.
PREPARATIONS
2 Connect the supplied antennas.
Connect the FM antenna to the FM 75
terminals and
the AM antenna to the AM LOOP terminals.
