Getting Started

This section explains how to connect audio/video components and speakers to the receiver, and how to connect the
power supply.

Before Installation

General

• Be sure your hands are dry.
• Turn the power off to all components.
• Read the manuals supplied with the components you are going to

connect.

Locations

• Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from

moisture.

• The temperature around the receiver must be between –5˚ and 35˚

C (23˚ and 95˚ F).

• Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor

ventilation could cause overheating and damage the receiver.

Handling the receiver

• Do not insert any metal object into the receiver.
• Do not disassemble the receiver or remove screws, covers, or

cabinet.

• Do not expose the receiver to rain or moisture.

supplied with the receiver.
The number in the parentheses indicates quantity of the pieces
supplied.

• Remote Control (1)

B. Using the Standard Type Connector (Not Supplied)

A standard type connector should be connected to the FM 75

Ω
