Getting Started This section explains how to connect audio/video components and speakers to the receiver, and how to connect the power supply. Before Installation Connecting the FM and AM (MW/LW) Antennas General • Be sure your hands are dry. • Turn the power off to all components. • Read the manuals supplied with the components you are going to connect. FM Antenna Connections A Locations B A NN TE AN 75 FMAXIAL • Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from moisture.
AM (MW/LW) Antenna Connections Snap the tabs on the loop into the slots of the base to assemble the AM (MW/LW) loop. ANTENNA FM 75 COAXIAL Basic connecting procedure 1 1 RIG AM (MW/LW) Loop Antenna AM EXT 1 RIG HT AM LOOP 4 3 2 1 RIG HT HT 1 Cut, twist and remove the insulation at the end of each speaker signal cable (not supplied). 2 Turn the knob counterclockwise. 2 1 3 3 Insert the speaker signal cable. 4 Turn the knob clockwise.
About the speaker impedance Connecting the subwoofer speaker The required speaker impedance of the front speakers does differ depending on whether both the FRONT SPEAKERS 1 and FRONT SPEAKERS 2 terminals are used or only one of them is used. You can enhance the bass by connecting a subwoofer. Connect the input jack of a powered subwoofer to the SUBWOOFER OUT jack on the rear panel, using a cable with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).
Video component connections CD player Use the cables with RCA pin plugs (not supplied). Connect the white plug to the audio left jack, the red plug to the audio right jack, and the yellow plug to the video jack. If your video components have S-video (Y/C-separation) terminals, connect them using S-video cables (not supplied). Connecting these video components through the S-video input/output terminals will give you better picture playback (or recording) quality.
DVD player TV and/or DBS tuner • When you connect the DVD player with stereo output jacks: To S-video input A B C DVD player To composite video input DVD PHONO Connect the TV to the MONITOR OUT jack to view the playback CD picture from the other connected video components.
