Before attaching a 75-ohm coaxial cable (the kind with a round  
wire going to an outdoor antenna), disconnect the supplied FM  
antenna.  
How to strip the 75-ohm coaxial cable and connect it  
to the FM terminals  
1. Strip off the outside covering of the 75-ohm coaxial cable to  
expose the braided metallic mesh about 20 mm (13/16  
inches).  
2. Pull the mesh back and twist it into a single connector as  
shown in the illustration above.  
3. Strip the insulation about 10 mm (7/16 inches) back from  
the central wire.  
DO NOT use an old battery together with a  
new one.  
DO NOT use different types of batteries  
together.  
DO NOT expose batteries to heat or flame.  
DO NOT leave the batteries in the battery  
compartment when you are not going to use  
the remote control for an extended period of  
time. Otherwise, it will be damaged from  
battery leakage.  
4. Insert the twisted mesh and the central wire to the FM  
terminals, as shown in the illustration above.

3 Release the finger from the clamp.  
For better reception of both FM and AM  
Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other  
terminals and connecting cords.  
Keep the antennas away from metallic parts of the unit,  
connecting cords, and the AC power cord.  
IMPORTANT: Use only speakers with the same speaker  
impedance as indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of

You can select the volume level from among four

How Recording Timer actually works  
The unit automatically turns on, tunes into the specified station,  
sets the volume level to “0,” and starts recording when the on-time  
comes (the b indicator flashes just before the on-time, and continues  
flashing while the timer is operating). Then, when the off-time comes  
(“OFF” appears just before the off-time), the unit automatically turns  
off (stands by).
