English How to Connect: Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire of the proper gauge, cut as short as possible. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is correct, that is the + and – markings are observed. If these wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass. Caution Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do not let them touch any metal part of this unit.
OUTPUT terminals (for driving speakers with external amplifiers) CENTER OUTPUT terminal This terminal is for center channel line output. There is no connection to this terminal when you use the built-in amplifier. However, if you drive a center speaker with an external power amplifier, connect the input terminal of the external amplifier to this terminal. OUTPUT CENTER SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal This terminal is for connecting with the input terminal of an amplifier for driving a subwoofer.
English ANTENNA CONNECTIONS ● ● Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following diagram. Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.

Up to 40 stations are stored automatically in the same way as in the manual preset tuning method on page 27. * Refer to page 30–34 for details on RDS stations.
English EXCHANGING PRESET STATIONS You can exchange the places of two preset stations with each other as shown below. l6 20 l2 28 8 4 40 2 60 0 –dB 2, 4 Example) If you want to shift the preset station on E1 to A5, and vice versa. 1 Recall the preset station on E1 (by following the method of “To recall a preset station” on page 27). 4 EDIT 2 EDIT PRESET MEMORY Flashes. 3 Next, recall the preset station on A5 by following the same method with step 1.
In areas where RDS broadcasts cannot be received, the RDS broadcast functions do not operate. (The procedures from page 30 to page 34 are not necessary.) RECEIVING RDS STATIONS RDS (Radio Data System) is a data transmission system gradually being introduced by FM stations in many countries. Stations using this system transmit an inaudible stream of data in addition to the normal radio signal.
English Program types in the PTY mode NEWS News: Short accounts of facts, events and publicly expressed views, reportage and actuality. AFFAIRS Current affairs: Topical program expanding or enlarging upon the news, generally in different presentation style or concept, including documentary debate, or analysis. INFO Information: Program whose purpose is to impart advice in the widest sense, including meteorological reports and forecasts, consumer affairs, medical help, etc.
Changing the RDS modes When an RDS station is received, “PS”, “PTY”, “RT” and/or “CT” that correspond to the RDS data services employed by the station light up on the display. By pressing the RDS MODE/FREQ button once or more, you can change the display mode among the RDS modes employed by the received station in the order shown below. (The RDS mode not employed by the station cannot be selected.
English Calling a program of your desired program type from among preset RDS stations (PTY SEEK) By designating a program type, the unit automatically searches all preset stations for an RDS station which broadcasts a program of that program type. * There are 15 program types to classify RDS stations. For details, refer to page 31. 2 l6 20 l2 28 8 4 40 2 60 0 –dB 1 3 1 Turn the unit into the PTY SEEK mode. 3 Begin searching all preset RDS stations.
Making this unit call a program of your desired program type automatically when its broadcast starts This function uses the EON (Enhanced Other Networks) data service on the RDS station network. By only selecting a desired program type (NEWS, INFO, AFFAIRS or SPORT), this unit automatically searches all preset RDS stations for a station that broadcasts a program of that program type in the background, and, if found, receives a program when its broadcast starts in place of the program now being received.
This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor. The processor allows you to electronically expand and change the shape of the audio sound field from both audio and video sources, creating a theater-like experience in your listening room. You can create an excellent audio sound field by selecting a suitable sound field program (this will, of course, depend on what you will be listening to), and adding desired adjustments.
