Congratulations on Your Purchase!
Your new high fidelity receiver is designed to deliver
maximum enjoyment and years of trouble free service.
Please take a few moments to read this manual
thoroughly. It will explain the features and operation of
your unit and help ensure a trouble free installation.
Please unpack your unit carefully. We recommend that
you save the carton and packing material. They will be
helpful if you ever need to move your unit and may be
required if you ever need to return it for service. Your unit
is designed to be placed in a horizontal position and it is
important to allow at least two inches of space behind

convenience.
To avoid damage, never place the unit near radiators, in
front of heating vents, in direct sunlight, or in excessively
humid or dusty locations. Connect your complementary
components as illustrated in the following section.

System Connections
· Do not plug the AC input cord into the wall AC outlet until all connections are completed.
· Be sure to observe the color coding when connecting audio and video cords.
· 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.
