Left and Right Panels Rear Panel Top Panel : 10 cm : 10 cm : 50 cm 3 Remote Control Unit The receiver and some other TEAC components which have mark on the front panel can be operated by the provided "UR" remote control unit. When operating the remote control unit, point it towards the REMOTE SENSOR on the front panel of the receiver (or other TEAC component). < Even if the remote control unit is operated within the effective range, remote control operation may be impossible if there are any obstacles between the unit and the remote control. < If the remote control unit is operated near other appliances which generate infrared rays, or if other remote control devices using infrared rays are used near the unit, it may operate incorrectly. Conversely, the other appliances may operate incorrectly. Connecting Antennas FM Indoor Antenna Connect the lead-type FM antenna to the FM 75 socket, extend the lead and tune the tuner to your favorite station (see page 13). Adjust the antenna in a suitable location like a window frame or wall until the reception is best and then affix the antenna in that position using thumb tacks, push pins or any other suitable means. Battery Installation FM Outdoor Antenna In an area where FM signals are weak, it will be necessary to use an outdoor FM antenna. Generally, a 3-element antenna will be sufficient; if you live in an area where the FM signals are particularly weak, it may be necessary to use one with 5 or more elements. 1. Remove the battery compartment cover. 2. Insert two "AA" (R6 or SUM-3) dry batteries. Make sure that the batteries are inserted with their positive "+" and negative "_" poles positioned correctly. 3. Close the cover. < Disconnect the FM indoor antenna when using an outdoor antenna. Battery Replacement If the distance required between the remote control unit and main unit decreases, the batteries are exhausted. In this case replace the batteries with new ones. Precautions concerning batteries < Be sure to insert the batteries with correct positive "+" and negative "_" polarities. < Use batteries of the same type. Never use different types of batteries together. < Rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries can be used. Refer to the precautions on their labels. < When the remote control unit is not to be used for a long time (more than a month), remove the batteries from the remote control unit to prevent them from leaking. If they leak, wipe away the liquid inside the battery compartment and replace the batteries with new ones. < Do not heat or disassemble batteries and never dispose of old batteries by throwing them in a fire. 4 AM Indoor Loop Antenna The high-performance AM loop antenna provided with this unit is sufficient for good reception in most areas. To stand the loop antenna on a surface, fix the claw to the slot in the antenna base. AM Loop Antenna: Connect the black wire to the left jack (GND) and the white wire to the right jack. AM Outdoor Antenna Connect the loop antenna's wires to the AM antenna terminals. ENGLISH How to connect: Press the lever, insert the end of the cord, then release the lever. Make sure it is fastened securely by pulling the cord lightly. Make sure only the bare, stripped wire is inserted in the jack and that no plastic insulation is preventing contact between the antenna wire and terminal. Place the antenna on a shelf or hang it on a window frame, etc., in the direction which gives the best reception. Keep all other wires such as power cords, speaker wires or interconnect wires as far away as possible from the antenna. AM Outdoor Antenna If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver sufficient reception (often due to being too far from the transmitter or in a concrete building, etc.), it may be necessary to use an outdoor AM antenna. Use either a high quality commercial AM antenna or, if not available, an insulated wire more than 5 m (15 feet) long, strip one end, and connect this to the terminal as shown. The antenna wire should be strung outdoors or indoors near a window. For better reception, connect the GND terminal to a reliable ground. Note: Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do not disconnect the AM loop antenna. 5 Connection CAUTION: < Switch off the power to all equipment before making connections. < Read the instructions of each component you intend to use with this unit. < Be sure to insert each plug securely. To prevent hum and noise, avoid bundling the signal interconnection cables together with the AC power cord or speaker cables. CD PLAYER LINE OUT RL Speakers A A B D E C F Speakers B R LR L LINE LINE IN OUT TURNTABLE TAPE 6 A 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 8 ohms or more. < The black speaker terminals are - (negative). Generally, the + side of the speaker cable is marked to make it distinguishable from the - side of the cable. Connect this marked side to the + terminal and the unmarked side to the black - terminal. < Prepare the speaker cables for connection by stripping off approximately 10 mm or less of the outer insulation. (Removing too much insulation may lead to a short circuit if the bared wires should come in contact with each other.) Twist the strands of the stripped wires tightly together: B CD, TAPE MONITOR, VIDEO/AUX jacks Analog 2-channel audio signal is input or output from these jacks. Connect the component with commercially-available RCA cables. Make sure to connect: white plug q white jack (L: left channel) red plug q red jack (R: right channel) C PHONO jacks/SIGNAL GND terminal Connect the turntable's RCA pin cords to PHONO jacks. Make sure to connect: white plug q white jack (L: left channel) red plug q red jack (R: right channel) Connect the turntable's ground cord to SIGNAL GND terminal. ENGLISH Caution: The metal portions of the two separate wires should not touch or an electrical short can occur. Shorted wires can create a fire hazard or induce a failure in your equipment. How to connect 1. Turn the terminal cap counterclockwise to loosen it. The speaker terminal caps cannot be fully removed from the base. 2. Insert the wire into the terminal fully and turn the terminal cap clockwise to securely connect it . Make sure none of the wire insulation is under the terminal, only the bare, stripped wire.
