Connect speakers with an impedance of 6 ohms or more.< The metal portions of the two separate wires should not touch or an electrical short could occur. Shorted wires could create a fire hazard or induce a failure in your equipment.How to connect speakers:1. Prepare the speaker cables for connection by stripping off approximately 10 mm (1/2 inch) 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.2. Turn the terminal cap counter clockwise to loosen it. The speaker terminal caps cannot be fully removed from the base.3. Insert the wire into the terminal 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.4. Make sure it is fastened firmly by pulling the cable lightly.For European customersIn accordance with European safety regulations, it is not possible to connect banana plugs into the speaker terminals on European models. The holes into which banana plugs are inserted have been covered with black caps. Connect the speakers using spades or bare wires. If the black caps become separated from the terminals, return them to their original position.

speaker wires or interconnect wires as far away as

possible from the 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

(16-2/5 ft.) long, strip one end, and connect this to the

The antenna wire should be strung outdoors or

indoors near a window. For better reception, connect

the GND terminal to a reliable ground.

socket, extend the lead and tune the tuner to your

favorite station (see page 30). 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.

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
