NOTE
0
Disconnect this unit’s power plug from the power outlet before connecting the
speakers. Also, turn off the subwoofer.

Never touch the speaker terminals while the power cord is connected. Doing so
could result in electric shock.
0
Use speakers with an impedance of 6 – 16 Ω/ohms.
Connecting the speaker cables
Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and + and – polarities on
the speakers being connected to this unit, and be sure to connect the
channels and polarities correctly.
1
Peel off about 10 mm of sheathing from the tip of the
speaker cable, then twist the core wire tightly.
.
2
Turn the speaker terminal counterclockwise to loosen
it.
.
3
Insert the speaker cable’s core wire to the hilt into the

For best results with the supplied indoor antenna, orient the antenna along a wall
such that it is stretched out horizontally and parallel to the floor (but above the
floor), and then fasten the two end tabs to the wall. This type of antenna is
directional and best results will be obtained when it is correctly oriented toward the
transmitting location.
0
For example, if the transmission tower is to the north, then the two ends of the
antenna (with the tabs) should be stretched toward west and east.
0
Do not connect two FM antennas simultaneously.

If you are unable to receive a good broadcast signal, we recommend installing an
outdoor antenna. For details, inquire at the retail store where you purchased the
unit.

Explanation of terms
o
Audio
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3)
This is an internationally standardized audio data compression scheme,
using the “MPEG-1” video compression standard. It compresses the data
volume to about one eleventh its original size while maintaining sound
quality equivalent to a music CD.
WMA (Windows Media Audio)
This is audio compression technology developed by Microsoft
Corporation.
WMA data can be encoded using Windows Media
®
Player. To encode
WMA files, only use applications authorized by Microsoft Corporation. If
you use an unauthorized application, the file may not work properly.
Sampling frequency
Sampling involves taking a reading of a sound wave (analog signal) at
regular intervals and expressing the height of the wave at each reading in
digitized format (producing a digital signal).
The number of readings taken in one second is called the “sampling
frequency”. The larger the value, the closer the reproduced sound is to the
original.
Speaker impedance
This is an AC resistance value, indicated in Ω (ohms). Greater power can
be obtained when this value is smaller.
Bit rate
This expresses the read amount per 1 second of video/audio data
recorded. A larger number means higher sound quality, but also means a
larger file size.
