AM (MW) Antenna
Connecting Speaker Systems
AM Indoor Loop Antenna
A high-performance AM loop antenna provided with the
receiver is sufficient for good reception in most areas.
Connect the loop antenna's wires to the AM antenna
terminals as shown. Place the antenna on a shelf, for
example, or hang it on a window frame, etc., in the
direction which gives the best reception, as far away as
possible from the entire system, speaker cords and the
power cord, to prevent unwanted noise.
AM Outdoor Antenna
If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver
sufficient reception (because you are too far from the
transmitter or in a concrete building, etc.), it may be
necessary to use an outdoor AM antenna. Use an
insulated wire more than 15 ft (5 m) long, strip one end,
and connect this to the terminal as shown. The antenna
wire should be strung outdoors or indoors near a
window. For better reception, connect the GND terminal
to a reliable ground.
Note:
●
Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do not
disconnect the AM loop antenna.
Caution:
To avoid damaging the speakers by inputting a
sudden high-level signal, be sure to switch the power
off before connecting the speakers.

Connecting the AC Power
Be sure to connect the power cord to an AC outlet which
supplies the correct voltage.
How to connect the speaker cords
Press the lever, insert the stripped and twisted
end (approx. 10 mm) of the cord, then release
the lever so that the cord is held securely.
AC OUTLET
SWITCHED:
This socket switches on and off as you turn on and off
the receiver.
Caution:
The total power consumption of the components
connected to the AC OUTLET must not exceed 100W.
Connect the cable from each speaker to the
corresponding terminal on the rear of the receiver.
●
Most speaker cables have different markings, textures
or colors to help you tell the difference between
negative and positive.
●
Be sure to connect the positive (+) terminal on each
speaker to the positive (+) terminal on the receiver.
Similarly, connect the negative (–) terminal on the
speaker to negative (–) terminal on the receiver.
Notes:
●
Use speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms
or more.
●
When attaching speakers, be sure to connect them to
both channels (L and R).
If speakers are connected to only A or B, no sound
will be heard from them if both SPEAKERS “A” and
“B” are selected.
