System Connections  
• Do not plug the AC input cord into the wall AC outlet until all connections are completed.  
• Be sure to connect the white RCA pin cords to the L (left) and the red RCA pin cords to the R (right) jacks when  
making audio connections.  
• Make connections firmly and correctly. If not, it can cause loss of sound, noise or damage to the receiver.  
1.  
CONNECTING ANTENNAs  
• Change the position of the FM indoor anten-  
na until you get the best reception of your  
favorite FM stations.  
• A 75Ω outdoor FM antenna may be used to  
further improve the reception. Disconnect  
the indoor antenna before replacing it with  
the outdoor one.  
• Place the AM loop antenna as far as possi-  
ble from the receiver, TV set, speaker cords  
and the AC input cord and set it to a direc-  
tion for the best reception.  
• If the reception is poor with the AM loop  
antenna, an AM outdoor antenna can be  
used in place of the AM loop antenna.

CONNECTING SPEAKERS  
• You can connect up to four pairs of  
speakers to this receiver and select the  
various combinations of speakers according  
to your tastes.  
• The speakers C and D can be installed in  
the main room as the speakers A and B can  
or in the another room (ROOM2) for  
ROOM2 playback. (For details, refer to  
"ROOM2 PLAYBACK" on page 19.)  
• Be sure to connect speakers firmly and  
correctly according to the channel (left and  
right) and the polarity (+ and -).  
• If the connections are faulty, no sound will  
be heard from the speakers, and if the  
polarity of the speaker connection is  
incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and  
lack bass.  
Notes :  
• For safe amplifier operation, use the  
speakers with impedance of over 8Ω when  
you connect a pair terminals of SPEAKER A  
and B terminals or/and a pair terminals of  
SPEAKER C and D terminals and use the  
speakers with impedance of over 16Ω when  
you connect both SPEAKER A and B  
terminals or/and both SPEAKER C and D  
terminals.  
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch  
each other or any metal part of this receiver.
