BEFORE USE   

 

READ THIS BEFORE OPERATION

 

Read this before operation 
1.

 

Choose the installation location of your unit carefully. 
Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source 
of heat. Also avoid locations subject to vibration and 
excessive dust, cold or moisture. 

2.

 

The ventilation holes should not be covered. Make 
sure there is enough space above and beside the 
amplifier/receiver (about 4 inches). Do not place a 
CD player or other equipment on top of the 
amplifier/receiver. 

3.

 

Do not open the cabinet as this might result in 
damage to the circuitry or electrical shock. If a 
foreign object gets into the set, contact your dealer or 
authorized service center. 

4.

 

When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, 
always pull directly on the plug, never on the cord. 

5.

 

Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical 
solvents as this might damage the finish. Use a clean, 
dry cloth. 

6.

 

Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference. 

 

Back-up Memory Function 

 
This is the function that preserves the preset memory and 
most-recent memory function. In the event of a power 
failure, or if the power cord of this unit is disconnected 
from the electric outlet, the back-up memory will 
preserve the preset memory and most-recent memory 
functions for as long as approximately 1 week. 
 
If the power supply is interrupted for 7 days or longer, the 
memory settings will be erased. 
 
When to use 

ORIGINAL SETUP PRESET 

switch 

1.

 

When this system is subjected to an electrical shock. 

2.

 

When the power is interrupted. 
In this case, try the following: 
Switch on the 

POWER

, use a paper clip to press the 

ORIGINAL SETUP PRESET button for more than 3 
seconds duration.   

 

 

 

Note:

 If the 

ORIGINAL SETUP PRESET

 button is 

pressed for more than 3 seconds, all the current set up 
memory will be erased. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 

BEFORE CONNECTION 
Caution 

Turn off the power of all the equipment before making 
connections. 
Read instructions of each component you intend to 
connect to this unit. 
 

z

 

Be sure to insert each power plug securely. To 
prevent hum and noise, do not bundle the 
interconnection leads with power cord or speaker 
leads. 

 

Speaker Connections 
Caution: 

To avoid damaging the speakers with a sudden high-level 
signal, be sure to switch the power off before connecting 
the speakers. 

z

 

Check the impedance of your speakers. 
Connect speaker with an impedance of 8 ohms or 
more. The amplifier’s red speaker terminals are the + 
(positive) terminals and the black terminals are the – 
(negative) terminals. 

z

 

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 + terminals and the 
unmarked side is the black terminal. 

z

 

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. 
Twist the wires tightly together so that they are not 
straggly. 

 
 

How to connect 

Red: positive (+) 
Black: negative (-) 
 

 

 
1. Unscrew the knob 
2. Insert the speaker cable. 
3. Tighten the knob and secure the cable.
