GENERAL INFORMATION  
SAFETY INFORMATION  
• If the system is brought directly from a  
cold to a warm location, or is placed in a  
very damp room, moisture may  
condense on the lens of the disc unit  
inside the system. Should this occur, the  
disc player will not operate normally.  
Leave the power on for about one hour  
with no disc in the system until normal  
playback is possible.  
• Electrostatic discharge may cause  
unexpected problems. See whether  
these problems disappear if you unplug  
the AC power cord and plug it in again  
after a few seconds.

PREPARATION  
CAUTION:  
Note:  
A AM Loop Antenna  
Inserting batteries into the  
Remote Control  
Insert the batteries (Type R06 or AA)  
into the remote control as shown in the  
battery compartment.  
For optimal sound performance, it is  
recommended to use the supplied  
speakers.  
Do not connect more than one speaker  
to any one pair of +/- speaker  
terminal.  
Availability of wireless transmitter and  
its peripherals are subjected to the  
approval of local authorities. Please  
check with respective local safety or  
approving authority.  
Connection  
Connect the supplied loop antenna to the  
AM ANTENNA terminal. Place the AM loop  
antenna far away from the system and  
adjust its position for the best reception.  
Do not connect speakers with  
impedance lower than the speakers  
supplied. Please refer to  
E Connecting other  
B FM Wire Antenna  
equipment to your system  
Connection  
You can connect the audio left and right  
OUT terminals of a TV, VCR, Laser Disc  
player, DVD player or CD Recorder to the  
AUX/CDR IN terminals at the rear of the  
system.  
SPECIFICATION section of this manual.  
Connect the supplied FM wire antenna to  
the FM ANTENNA 75 terminal. Adjust  
the position of the FM antenna for the best  
reception.  
D Line Out Connection (wireless  
ready)  
You can connect the audio left and right  
LINE OUT terminals to a optional CD  
Recorder ANALOG IN terminals. This  
allows you to record in an analogue format.  
Outdoor Antenna  
For better FM stereo reception connect an  
outdoor FM antenna to the FM ANTENNA  
75 terminal using a 75 coaxial wire.  
F Subwoofer Out Connection  
Connect the optional active subwoofer to  
the SUBWOOFER OUT terminal. The  
subwoofer reproduces just the low bass  
sound effect (e.g. explosions, the rumble of  
spaceships, etc.). Be sure to follow the  
instructions supplied with the subwoofer.  
To avoid damage from possible battery  
leakage, remove dead batteries or  
batteries that will not be used for a long  
time. For replacement, use type R06 or  
AA batteries.  
You can also install additional optional  
front active speakers away from the  
system (e.g. in another room) to reduce the  
inconvenience of running long speaker  
wires across rooms. You can place as many  
remote speakers as you like provided they  
operate at the same radio frequency.  
Connect the wireless radio frequency  
transmitter to the LINE OUT terminals.  
Place the active speakers at your preferred  
location. Be sure to follow the instructions  
supplied with the active speakers.  
C Speakers Connection
