CONNECTING SPEAKERS
Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire
of the proper gauge, cut as short as possible. If the
connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the
speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is
correct, that is, + and – markings are observed. If these wires
are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and will lack bass.
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do
not let them touch the metal parts of this unit as this could
damage this unit and/or speakers.
How to Connect:
Red: positive (+)
Black: negative (–)
➀
Unscrew the knob.
➁
Insert the bare wire.
[Remove approx. 5mm
(1/4”) insulation from
the speaker wires.]
➂
Tighten the knob and
secure the wire.
Notes
●
One or two speaker systems can be connected to this unit.
If you connect only one speaker system, connect it to either
the SPEAKERS A or B terminals.
●
Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the
rear of this unit.
●
<U.S.A., Canada, Australia and General models only>
Banana Plug connections are also possible. Simply insert
the Banana Plug connector into the corresponding terminal.

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
●
Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following diagram.
●
Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal
strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience
poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.
Connecting the AM loop antenna
* The AM loop antenna should be placed apart from the main unit. The antenna may be hung on a wall.
* The AM loop antenna should be kept connected, even if an outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.
GND terminal
For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect the
GND terminal to a good earth ground. A good earth ground is
a metal stake driven into moist earth.
Notes
●
When connecting the indoor
FM antenna, insert its
connector into the FM ANT
terminal firmly.
●
If you need an outdoor
FM antenna to improve
FM reception quality, either
300-ohm feeder or coaxial cable may be used. In locations
troubled by electrical interference, coaxial cable is
preferable.

Notes
●
A new setting can be programmed in place of the former
one.
●
For presets, the setting of the reception mode (stereo or
monaural) is stored along with the station frequency.
Memory back-up
The memory back-up circuit prevents the programmed data
from being lost even if the POWER switch is set off or the
power plug is disconnected from the AC outlet or the power is
cut due to temporary power failure. If, however, the power is
cut for more than one week, the memory may be erased. If
so, it can be re-programmed by simply following the PRESET
TUNING steps.
MANUAL PRESET TUNING
This unit can store station frequencies (selected by tuning operation) by using the PRESET STATIONS buttons. With this function,
you can recall any desired station by only pressing the corresponding PRESET STATIONS button. Up to 40 stations (8 stations x 5
groups) can be stored.

AUTOMATIC PRESET TUNING
You can also make use of an automatic preset tuning function for FM stations only. By this function, this unit performs automatic
tuning and stores FM stations with strong signals sequentially. Up to 40 stations are stored automatically in the same way as in the
manual preset tuning method on page 18.

After 5 seconds, the automatic preset tuning begins from A1.
Received stations are programmed to A1, A2 ... A8
sequentially.
* If more than 8 stations are received, they are also
programmed to the preset station numbers on other groups
(B, C, D and E) in that order.
If you want to store the first station received by the
automatic preset tuning to a desired preset station
number.
If, for example, you want to store the first received station to
C5, select “C5” by using the A/B/C/D/E button and the
PRESET STATIONS buttons after pressing the MEMORY
button in step 2 before the automatic preset tuning begins. The
first received station is stored to C5, and next stations to C6,
C7 ... sequentially.
If stations are stored up to E8, the automatic preset tuning is
finished automatically.
When the automatic preset tuning is finished
The display shows the frequency of the last preset station.
Check the contents and the number of preset stations by
following the procedure of the section “To recall a preset
station” on page 18.
To recall a preset station
Simply follow the procedure of the section “To recall a preset
station” on page 18.
Notes
●
If no station is received by the automatic preset tuning
search, the search finishes after
“NOTHING” flashes for
about 3 seconds on the display.
●
You can replace a preset station by another FM or AM
station manually by simply following the procedure of the
section “To store stations” on page 18.
●
If the number of received stations is not enough to be stored
up to E8, the search will be finished automatically when it
reaches the highest frequency after searching through all
frequencies.
●
With this function, only FM stations with sufficient signal
strength are stored automatically. If the station you want to
program is weak in signal strength, tune to it in monaural
manually and program it by following the procedure of the
section “To store stations” on page 18.
