BEFORE USE
Read this before operation
1. Choose the installation location of your unit carefully. Avoid
placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat. Also
avoid locations subject to vibrations and excessive dust, cold
or moisture.
2. Do not cover the ventilation holes. Make sure there is enough
space above and beside this unit (about 4 inches). Do not
place a CD player or other equipment on top of this unit.
3. Do not open the cabinet as this might result in damage to the
circuitry or electrical shock. If a foreign object falls into the unit,
contact your dealer.
4. When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always
pull directly on the plug, never on the cord.
5. Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents as this
might damage the finish. Use a clean, damp cloth only.
6. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
Back-up Memory Function
This is the function that preserves the preset memory and
most-recent memory function. In the event of a power failure, or if
the power cord of this unit is disconnected from the electric outlet,
the back-up memory will preserve the preset memory and
most-recent memory functions for approximately 1 week. If the
power supply is interrupted for 7 days or longer, the memory
settings will be erased.
When to use RESET switch
1. When this system is subjected to an electric shock.
2. When the power is irregular.
In this case, try the following:
Switch the POWER on, press the RESET button on the front panel
for more than 3 seconds.
Note: If the RESET button is pressed for more than 3 seconds, all
the memory will be erased.
Before Connection
Caution
- Disconnect all equipment from the power source before
making any connections.
- Read instructions of each component you intend to use with
this unit.
- Be sure to insert each plug securely. To prevent hum and
noise, do not bundle the connection cords with power cord or
speaker cord.
Speaker Connections
Caution:
- To avoid damaging the speakers with a sudden high-level
signal, be sure to switch the power off before connecting the
speakers.
- Check the impedance of your speakers. Connect speaker with
an impedance of 6 ohms or more.
- The amplifier’s colored speaker terminals are the + (positive)
terminals and the black terminals are the – (negative)
terminals.
- The + side of the speaker cable is marked to make it
distinguishable from the – side of the cable. Connect this
marked side to the colored + terminals and the unmarked side
is the black terminal.
- Prepare the speaker cords for connection by stripping off
approximately 10 mm or less (no more as this could cause a
short-circuit) of the outer insulation.
- Twist the wires tightly together so that they are not straggly.
How to connect
Loosen the speaker terminals on the rear panel by twisting them
against the clock.
Put the stripped cable into the hole in the terminal, and tighten the
terminal on to the cable, by twisting the terminal with the clock.
Colored: positive (+)
