CAUTION < DO NOT REMOVE THE EXTERNAL CASES OR CABINETS TO EXPOSE THE ELECTRONICS. NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS ARE WITHIN! < IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THIS PRODUCT, CONTACT TEAC FOR A SERVICE REFERRAL. DO NOT USE THE PRODUCT UNTIL IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED. CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD,

• DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.3 ENGLISH Before use Read this before attempting any operations. < The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage as printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding this matter, consult an electrician. < Choose the installation location of your unit carefully. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat. Also avoid locations subject to vibrations and excessive dust, heat, cold or moisture. < Do not place the unit on an amplifier/receiver. < Do not open the cabinet as this might result in damage to the circuitry or electrical shock. If a foreign object should get into the unit, contact your dealer or service company. < When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull directly on the plug, never yank the cord. < Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents as this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry or slightly damp cloth. < Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference. Maintenance If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe with a soft cloth or use diluted neutral cleaning liquid. Be sure to remove any fluid completely. Do not use thinner, benzine or alcohol as they may damage the surface of the unit. Contents Thank you for choosing TEAC. Read this manual carefully to get the best performance from this unit.

REMOTE CONTROL jack If you have TEAC A-R650, connect this jack to the A-R650’s remote control jack wi†h remote control connection cord. Convenient system control operations are available. < When you tune in a station, the input selector of the A-R650 is set to “TUNER” automatically. When you want to use the remote control functions, connect the REMOTE CONTROL jack of each component by a remote control connection cord. < You can use the remote control unit UR-431 (provided for A-R650). Aim the remote control unit at the A-R650 to operate this unit. Note: The remote control unit is not provided for this unit.

AC power cord After all other connections are complete, connect the plug to the AC wall socket. < Be sure to connect the power cord to an AC outlet which supplies the correct voltage. < Hold the power plug when plugging or unplugging the power cord.

LINE OUT jacks These jacks transmit an analog 2-channel audio signal. Connect these jacks to the TUNER jacks of the amplifier (A-R650) with a stereo RCA pin cable. Make sure to connect the cable as follows: white plug q white jack (L: left channel) red plug q red jack (R: right channel) < 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. White (L) Red (R) White (L) Red (R) CAUTION: < Switch off the power to all equipment before making connections. < Read the instructions of each component you intend to use with this unit.5 ENGLISH FM Indoor Antenna Connect the lead-type FM antenna to the FM 75Ω socket, extend the lead and tune in your favourite station (see page 8). Adjust the antenna in a suitable location like a window frame or wall which gives the best reception and then fix the antenna in that position with thumbtacks or the like. 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. < Disconnect the FM indoor antenna when using an outdoor antenna. Connecting Antennas 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. Connect the loop antenna‘s wires to the AM antenna terminals. < Make sure to connect the black wire to the GND 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 interconnected 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. Make sure to connect the black wire to the GND terminal. AM Outdoor Antenna Use either a high quality commercially available AM antenna or, if not available, an insulated wire more than 5 m 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. < Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do not disconnect the AM loop antenna.6 Parts Identification
