ENGLISHENGLISH
Read Safety instructions and others carefully before
using the System.
CAUTION for outdoor antenna installation
Since antenna installation necessitates skill and experience, always consult
your dealer before installation. The antenna should be placed at a distance
from the power distribution wires. Otherwise, an electric shock accident may
occur if the antenna falls down.
NOTES:
Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals, connecting cords or the power cord.
Also, keep the antenna away from metallic parts of the System, connecting cords, and the AC power cord.
Otherwise, it could cause poor reception.
When connecting the speaker cords, match the polarities of the speaker terminals: red to (+) and black to
(–).
DO NOT connect more than one speaker to each terminal.
Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance as indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of
the System.
DO NOT allow the conductor of the speaker cords to come into contact with the metallic parts of the
System.
The supplied speakers are not magnetically shieled. Keep enough distance between the speakers and a
TV, otherwise the color on the TV screen could be affected.
