THIS TUNER/RECEIVER 18 CAPABLE OF RECEIVING THE NEW AM STEREO BROADCASTS FROM THE AM BAND RADIO STATIONS.
HOWEVER LIKE MANY TUNERS AND RECEIVERS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET IT WILL REPRODUCE THIS AM STEREO
SIGNAL ONLY IN AM MONO, WHICH, IN EFFECT, IS OF NO LESSER QUALITY THAN YOUR EXISTING AM MONO TUNER/RECEIVER.

Use a standard AC wall outlet
1. Use from an AC power source of high voltage, such as for
an alr conditioner, is very dangsrous.
There is the possibility that a fire might be caused by making
such a connection.
2. A DC power source cannot be used.
Be sure to check the power source carefuily, especially on a
ship or other place where DC is used.
Grasp the plug when disconnecting the power
supply cord
1. Wet hands are dangerous.
A dangerous electric shock may result if the plug is touched by
wet hands.
2. Never place heavy items on top of the power supply cord,
and never force It to bend sharply.
TAC outlet on rear panel
(not equipped for some countries)
1. Any equipment connected here should have the specified
power consumption or less.
This outlet is exclusively for the connection of other audio
equipment, such as a tape deck. Be sure the power consump-
tion does not exceed the wattage specified near the AG outlet.
2. Never connect other electrical appliances, such as an Iron
or toaster.
If appliances with a large power consumption are connected,
an accident might occur as a result of overheating.
Place the unit where It will be well ventilated
Place this unit at least +0 cm (47) away from wall surfaces, etc.
Avoid places such as the following:
in direct sunilght or in other places where the temperature is
high.
in places where thers is excessive vibration or humidity.
Such conditions might damage the cabinet and/or other compo-
nent parts and thereby shorten the unit's service life.
(“EB” area code model only)
The "EB" indication is shown on the serial number tag.
Important
THE WIRES IN THIS MAINS LEAD ARE COLOURED IN ACCOR-
DANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE.
BLUE: NEUTRAL
BROWN: LIVE
Be sure to place the unit on a flat, level sur-
face.
If the surface is inclined, a malfunction may result.
Never attempt to repair or reconstruct this
unit
A serious electric shock might occur if this unit is repaired,
disassembled or reconstructed by unauthorized persons, or if the
internal parts are accidentally touched.
Take particular care if children are present
Never permit children to put anything, especially metal, inside
this unit, A serious electric shock or malfunction could occur if
articles such as coins, needles, screwdrivers, efc. are inserted
through the ventilation holes, etc. of this unit.
Tf water ls spliled on the unit
Be extremely careful if water is spilled on the unit, because a fire
or serious electric shock might occur. Immediately disconnect
the power cord plug, and consult with your dealer,
Avoid spray-type insecticides
Insecticides might cause cracks or “cloudiness” in the cabinet
and plastic parts of this unit. The gas used in such sprays might,
moreover, be ignited suddenly.
Never use alcohol or paint thinner
These and similar chemicals should never be used, because they
might cause flaking or cloudiness of the cabinet finish.
Disconnect the power supply cord if the unit
will not be used for a long time
If the unit is left for a long time with the power ON, this will not
only shorten its useful operation life, but may also cause other
troubles,
if trouble occurs
If, during operation, the sound is interrupted or indicators no
longer illuminate, or if abnormal odor or smoke is detected,
immediately disconnect the power cord plug, and contact your
dealer or an Authorized Service Center.
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus
may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug proceed as follows. The wire which is col-
oured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter N or coloured BLACK.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED.
Make connections in the numbered sequence by using the included cables
and power cord.

return to the original frequency indication, press this button
for about 3 seconds again.
LW: Press this button to listen to an LW broadcast.
FREQ SHIFT: When the LW bution is pressed for about
3 seconds during reception of an LW broadcast, the LW
frequency will decrease by 2 kHz. In order to return to the
original frequency indication, press this button for about
3 seconds again.

When broadcast frequencies have been preset to the memory, any of those broadcast frequencies can thereatter be easily selected by simply
pressing one of the preset-channel buttons. There are two methods for presetting broadcast frequencies in the memory: the automatic method
{see below) and the manual method (refer to page 9); select whichever method you prefer.
When this method is used, the frequencies of the selected broad-
cast stations are automatically preset (in sequence to higher fre-
quencies} into the memory: “channels” 1 to 28 are available for
the presetting of FM stations, “channels” 13 to 28 are available
for MW stations, and “channels” 19 to 28 are available for LW
stations. When a presetting is made to a channel that has already
been preset, the prior presetting will be erased.

Battery life |
Battery life is about one year. (Battery life may
vary depending upon the frequency of use
and other conditions of use.)
The batteries should be replaced if the unit
cannot be operated even when the remote-
control transmitter is brought close to the
unit.
Battery notes
? Be sure that batteries are inserted so that
they are placed correctly with respect to the
(+) and {—} indications in the battery com-
partment. If the batteries are not inserted
correctly, they may leak and damage the
remote-control transmitter,
e Do not use rechargeable (nickel-cadmium)
type batteries.
e Do not mix old and new batteries, or bat-
teries of different (carbon and
alkaline, etc.).
e If the remote-control transmitter is not to be
used for a long period of time, take out the
batteries and store them in a cool, dark
place.
o Remove and dispose of worn-out batteries.
o Never attempt to recharge or short-circuit
the batteries, and do not disassemble them
or expose them to excessive heat or throw
them into a fire.
o |f a battery leaks, remove both batteries and
dispose of them, and then thoroughly clean
the battery compartment before inserting
new batteries.

— Other notes
1. Do not expose the receptor (on this unit)
to direct sunlight or other strong light,
because to do so might result in in-

2. Do not use a remote-control transmitter
for a TV set, a VCR or other video compo-
nent at the same time as this remote-con-
trol transmitter is being used, because to
do so might result jn incorrect operation.
3. If this unit is installed in a rack with glass
doors, the glass doors' thickness or col-

à This remote-control transmitter can be used for control of a
Technics amplifier with a control terminal, as well as a cassette
tape deck, turntable, compact disc player, or a graphic
equalizer with a remote-control terminal. Consult your dealer
for details.
o For detailed information concerning operation steps, etc.,
please refer to the appropriate page for each unit and the
respective operating instructions. For this system, you can

While listening to FM broadcasts
An unusual hissing noise is
heard when listening to the
broadcast in stereo, but not
heard when listening
monaurally.
Due to the differences between a monaural and a
stereo signal, a higher level of signal strength is
required for proper stereo reception. If the signal
level is low, a hissing noise may be produced on
the stereo channel.
Molse Is excessive in both
stereo and monaural
broadceasts.
Poor location and/or direction of the antenna.
Transmitting station is too far away.
o Try reducing the treble sound by using the treble

[Multipath distortion is being caused by the mutual
interference of broadcast signals received
directly from the transmitting station (direct
waves) and signals being reflected from nearby
