Connecting Audio
Components (see the
installation and
connections diagram on
page 4 for details)
1. Make sure the AVR30 and other
components are turned off.
2. Connect each component's Output
jacks to the corresponding "In" jacks
on the back of your receiver. Use
the white, black or gray plugs to
connect Left channel jacks; use the red
plugs for Right jacks.
Connect your turntable to the jacks
marked "Phono".
Also connect the ground wire from
the turntable to the terminal marked
"GND" next to the Phono jacks.
Antenna Installation
Select the FM antenna that best
meets your needs.
1. An indoor dipole antenna is
supplied with your AVR30. This will
work well if you are located ina
strong signal area.
2. Other indoor antennas are
available which may improve
reception by offering greater
positioning flexibility.
3. If reception is unsatisfactory
using indoor antennas, an outdoor
antenna should be installed.
4. Alternatively, you may connect to
an FM cable antenna, if available.
Connect the EM _ antenna.
Connect the two leads of the
antenna to the two screw-down
terminals marked "FM 300QBAL".
If you wish to connect a cable
antenna, connect it to the
location marked "FM 75Q
UNBAL" (see antenna connection
diagram for details).
Position the FM antenna for optimum
reception. _
Reception from all of the above
antennas (except the cable antenna)
may be improved by re-positioning
them. Try your antenna in different
positions to find the one in which
most of your desired broadcast
stations have high signal strength
readings and good sound quality.
Connect the AM Antenna.
Your receiver comes with an AM
loop antenna which provides good
reception in most locations. For best
results, place this antenna away
from the unit and away from contact
with any metal object. |
In areas where AM signals are
weak, an outdoor AM antenna may
improve sound quality.
Connect the AM antenna leads to
the screw-down terminals marked
"AM" on the back of the AVR30
(see antenna connection diagram
for details).
SPEAKER INSTALLATION
This unit is designed to work with 6
to 16 ohm impedance speakers in
the front and 4 to 16 ohm speakers
in the rear.
For best performance, use high
quality speaker cables.
However, ordinary copper wire can
be used if the gauge meets the
following requirements:
Wire Lenth Gauge
Up to 8 feet 18 AWG
Up to 12 feet 16 AWG
Up to 20 feet 14 AWG
10-12 AWG custom
speaker cable
Over 20 feet
NOTE: Avoid coiling excess wire
with or near line level hook-up cords.
Connect the first pair of front
speakers to receiver terminals
marked "Speaker System" "A".
