To assemble and connect the AM loop antenna 
To assemble the AM loop antennaTo connect the AM loop antenna  
Make sure to connect the wire correctly.
•If the AM loop antenna wire or speaker cords are covered 
with vinyl, remove the vinyl to expose the tip of the 
antenna by twisting the vinyl.
•Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other 
terminals, connecting cords and power cord. Also, keep the 
antennas away from metallic parts of the System, 
connecting cords, and the AC power cord. This could cause 
poor reception. 
To connect the speaker cords 
Make sure the both speakers are connected correctly and 
firmly.
When connecting the speaker cords, match the polarity of 
the speaker terminals: The cord with black stripe to (–), the 
cord without stripe to (+). 
•DO NOT connect more than one speaker to 
each terminal.
•DO NOT allow the conductor of the speaker 
cords to be in touch with the metallic parts of 
the System.

							 14 Playing Back from other equipment 
To connect other equipment 
By using an stereo mini plug cord (not supplied), you can 
connect equipment with analog audio output jacks such as a 
Digital Audio Player, or a TV, etc.
 
If the audio output on the other equipment is not stereo 
mini plug type,
 
Use a plug adapter to convert the stereo mini plug to the 
corresponding plug of the audio output.
Refer to the manuals supplied with the other equipment. 
To adjust the sound input level from other 
equipment 
You can adjust the sound input level from the connected 
equipment, if the incoming signal is too small or too large.  1 
Select AUX for the source. 2 
Adjust the input level.
 
AUX LVL 1: Ordinary input level (factory setting).  Suitable for equipment with low output level 
(such as a portable audio device).
AUX LVL 2: Decreased input level.  Suitable for equipment with high output level 
(such as a DVD player).
memo
 
•If you feel that the output level from the external 
equipment is high, select AUX LVL2. 
Quick Portable Link (QP Link) 
If you connect other equipment such as a digital audio player 
to the AUX terminal and play it back, the source 
automatically changes to AUX.
The QP Link indicator is lit while QP Link is activated.
 
When QP Link is activated...
 
•If an audio input is received at AUX when the System is 
turned on, the source automatically switches to AUX.
• If an audio input is received at AUX when the System is in 
standby mode, the system automatically turns on and plays 
the audio.
• You cannot change the source while audio input is being 
received at AUX. 
If you press another source button, the QP Link indicator 
blinks several times.
memo
 
•While playback is going on the portable audio device, QP 
Link may turn the System on even if the Sleep Timer turn 
the System to standby or if you turn the System to standby. 
In this case, deactivate QP Link or stop playback on the 
device connected to the AUX jack.
• If the audio input received at AUX is small, the source may 
not switch to AUX.
• The source may not switch to AUX depending on the 
content of the music.
• It takes a second or two for the source to switch to AUX 
after another equipment such as a digital audio player is 
started and sound is output. This is due to the System 
detecting the signal from the equipment.
• QP Link does not work, if the clock indication is turned off 
at standby. 
IMPORTANT 
• Always set volume to “VOL-MIN” when connecting or 
disconnecting the other equipment.
