The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line. According to Rule 2 (UNDERSCORE & LINE RULES), this is a stylistic or background line, not a placeholder underscore. Therefore, the OCR result must ignore it. The provided OCR content is "____", which consists of four underscores. This is an incorrect interpretation of the line as a placeholder, violating the rule that stylistic lines must be ignored. The OCR has hallucinated text (underscores) where none should exist. Hence, the result is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.

Listening caution

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion—and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.

Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

- Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

Step 1 - Making the connections

Connect the AC power supply cord only after all other connections have been made.

Preparation

Twist and pull off the vinyl tip of the speaker cords.

OR

If the speaker cords do not have vinyl tips, directly connect them to the terminals.

1 Connect the FM indoor antenna.

Adhesive tape FM indoor antenna FM ANT -75Ω

Tape the antenna to a wall or column, in a position with least amount of interference.

2 Connect the AM loop antenna.

    C --> D["Arrow pointing to the device"]

Stand the antenna up on its base. Keep loose antenna cord away from other wires and cords.

3 Connect the speaker cables.

White Blue Red Black ↓ ① Grey (+) Blue (-) L ② HIGH (6Ω) ③ + - - + Black (-) Red (+) LOW (6Ω)

Cords with white and blue tags are for high frequency.
Cords with red and black tags are for low frequency.
Incorrect connection can damage the unit.

• Mishandling of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage which can damage items the fluid contacts and may cause a fire.

Do not:

• mix old and new batteries.
• use different types at the same time.
• heat or expose to flame.
  • take apart or short circuit.
• attempt to recharge alkaline or manganese batteries.
• use batteries if the covering has been peeled off.

Placement of speakers

Illustration of a desktop computer case with front panel, back panel, and speaker unit (no text or symbols)

Speakers are designed identically so that no left or right channel orientation is necessary.

• These speakers do not have magnetic shielding. Do not place them near televisions, personal computers or other devices easily influenced by magnetism.
- To avoid damage to the speakers, do not touch the speaker cones if you have taken the nets off.

Note

- Keep your speakers at least 10 mm ( ^13/_32 ") away from the system for proper ventilation.

Use only the supplied speakers.

- The combination of the main unit and speakers provide the best sound. Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality will be negatively affected.

Caution

• Use the speakers only with the recommended system. Failure to do so can damage the amplifier and speakers, and can cause fire. Consult a qualified service person if damage occurs or if a sudden change in performance is apparent.
• Do not attach these speakers to walls or ceilings.

Troubleshooting guide

Before requesting service, make the following checks. If you are in doubt about some of the check points, or if the remedies indicated in the chart do not solve the problem, refer to the “Product information” on page 3.

Common problems

No sound.	Turn the volume up.The speaker cords may not be connected properly. Turn the unit off, check and correct the connections and turn the unit on (refer page 4).
Sound is unfixed, reversed or comes from one speaker only.	Check the speaker connections (refer page 4).
Humming heard during play.	An AC power supply cord or fluorescent light is near the cables. Keep other appliances and cords away from this unit's cables.
“ERROR” is displayed.	Incorrect operation performed. Read the instructions and try again.
“- -:- -” appears on the display.	You plugged the AC power supply cord in for the first time or there was a power failure recently. Set the time (refer page 12).
“F76” is displayed.	Check and correct the speaker cord connections (refer page 4).If this does not fix the problem, there is a power supply problem. Consult the dealer.

Listening to the radio

Noise is heard.The stereo indicator flickers or doesn’t light.Sound is distorted.	Use an outdoor antenna (refer page 4).
A beat sound is heard.	Turn the TV off or separate it from the unit.
A low hum is heard during AM broadcast.	Separate the antenna from other cables and cords.

When there is a television set nearby

The disc may be upside down (refer page 7).Wipe the disc.Replace the disc if it is scratched, warped, or non-standard.Condensation may have formed inside the unit due to a sudden change in temperature. Wait about an hour for it to clear and try again.

The remote control

Remote control doesn’t work.

Check that the batteries are inserted correctly (refer page 5).Replace the batteries if they are worn.
