Notes:

• To improve the reception of weak FM stations, press 

 

. This reduces signal noise, but you hear monaural 

instead of stereo sound.

• For stations with a weak signal, we recommend manual 

tuning.

ADJUSTING BALANCE

The 

 control lets you adjust the sound balance 

between the left and right speakers. If you properly position the 
speakers and your listening area is centered between them, the 
center control setting is usually best (see “Positioning 
Speakers” on Page 5).

For an unusual speaker placement, press 

 to select the AM 

band or select any source and play a monaural audio source. 
Turn 

 until you hear the sound coming equally from 

each speaker when you are in the listening area.

MUTING THE RECEIVER

To temporarily mute the sound, press 

 on the remote 

control. The MUTE indicator on the receiver flashes. Press 

 again to restore the audio level. The MUTE indicator 

turns off.

USING HEADPHONES

To listen with headphones (not supplied), insert the 
headphones’ 

1

/

4

-inch plug into the receiver’s front panel 

 jack. To silence the speakers and listen with 

headphones without disturbing others, press 

 

 

and/or 

 so both indicators are off.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, note the following when using 
headphones.

• Set the volume to its lowest setting before you begin 

listening. After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a 
comfortable level.

• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended 

high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.

• Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, 

your ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that 
does not cause discomfort might still damage your 
hearing.

CASSETTE DECK FEATURES

You can connect a cassette deck to the receiver. Selecting 

 lets you hear the playback from the cassette 

deck you connected to the receiver’s 

 jacks.

Using the Tape Monitor
Button

Press 

. 

 

 appears, along with the last 

program source you selected. You can hear the playback or 
monitor a recording from the cassette deck you connected to 
the receiver’s 

jacks.

The 

jacks continue to output the 

previously selected sound source after you press 

.

To return to the previous source, press 

 again 

so 

 

 disappears.

Note:

If you press 

 when that cassette deck is 

neither playing nor recording, the receiver mutes the current 
audio source. To hear the audio source, press 

 

so 

 

 disappears.

Recording a 
Program Source

The receiver sends the audio of the program source you 
select—

, 

,

, 

 (tuner), or 

— to  the 

 jacks. The 

 

control does not affect the level of the signal going to the tape 
decks.

When you record a program source using the cassette deck, 
you hear the program source’s signal immediately after you 
record it onto the tape, if the cassette deck you connected has a 
three-head monitor function. (Be sure to read the owner’s 
manual for your cassette deck.)

USING THE RESET BUTTON

If the receiver is subjected to a strong magnetic field or an 
electric shock, it might operate erratically. If this happens, turn 
off the receiver and press the rear panel 

 button with a 

straightened paperclip or other pointed object.

Caution: Pressing 

 clears everything stored in the 

receiver’s memory.
