ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminal(s) correctly, referring to the following diagram.
Both AM and FM indoor antennas are supplied to this unit. In general, these antennas will 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, which 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, a coaxial cable is
preferable.

Adjusting the BASS and TREBLE
controls
Adjusting the BALANCE control Selecting the SPEAKER system
Adjust the balance of the output volume to the left and right
speakers to compensate for sound imbalance caused from
speaker location or listening room conditions.
Because one or two speaker systems can be connected to this
unit, the SPEAKERS switches allow you to select speaker
system A or B, or both at once.
BASS : Turn this clockwise to increase (or counter-
clockwise to decrease) the low frequency
response.
TREBLE : Turn this clockwise to increase (or counter-
clockwise to decrease) the high frequency
response.
Adjusting the continuously variable
LOUDNESS control
This control provides compensation for the human ears’ loss of
sensitivity to high and low-frequency ranges at low volume.
This control is adjustable to retain full tonal range at any
volume level.
1
Set to the “FLAT” position.
2
Set to the loudest listening
level that you would listen
in.
3
Turn until the desired
volume is gained.

Using the PURE DIRECT switch
You can enjoy the purest possible sound from your audio
sources by setting this switch so that the indicator illuminates.
By doing so, the audio signals bypass the BASS, TREBLE,
BALANCE and LOUDNESS controls, thus eliminating any
alteration to the audio signals.
You can enjoy the purest possible CD sound from your CD
player by setting this switch so that the indicator illuminates.
By doing so, CD’s input signals are sent to the built-in special
amplifier for CD directly bypassing the INPUT selector, BASS,
TREBLE, BALANCE and LOUDNESS controls, and then sent
to the power amplifier. This signal routing reproduces the
purest CD sound eliminating any alterations to the CD signals.

TUNING OPERATIONS
Normally, if station signals are strong and there is no interference, quick automatic-search tuning (AUTOMATIC TUNING) is
possible. However, if signals of the station you want to select are weak, you must tune to it manually (MANUAL TUNING).
Note
If you tune to an FM station manually, it is received in monaural
mode automatically to increase the signal quality.

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 this unit is turned into the standby
mode 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. With this function, you can recall any desired station only by
selecting the preset station number where it is stored. Up to 40 stations (8 stations x 5 groups) can be stored.
