Connecting Antennas (AM/FM)

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 interconnect 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.

Use either a high quality commercially available AM antenna or, if not available, an insulated wire more than 16 ft (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.

FM Indoor Antenna

Connect the lead-type FM antenna to the FM 75Ω socket, extend the lead and tune in your favourite station. 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 thumb tacks 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.
  

Connection

• Connect the power plug to a wall socket after completing all other connections.
• Be sure to thoroughly read through the instruction manuals of the equipment you will connect and observe all instructions.
  

LINE IN/OUT jacks

These jacks transmit an analog 2-channel audio signal. Connect the components using RCA cables.

• Make sure to connect the cables as follows:
  white plug → white jack (L: left channel)
  red plug → red jack (R: right channel)
  
• Be sure to insert each plug securely. To prevent hum and noise, avoid bundling the cables together with the AC power cord or speaker cables.

PHONO jacks

Connect the turntable's RCA pin cord to the PHONO jacks.

• Make sure to connect the cables as follows:
  white plug → white jack (L: left channel)
  red plug → red jack (R: right channel)
• Be sure to insert each plug securely. To prevent hum and noise, avoid bundling the cables together with the AC power cord or speaker cables.

SIGNAL GND

To prevent hum and noise, connect the ground lead of the turntable to this terminal.

• This is not a safety earth.

AC Inlet

Use only the supplied power cord.

• Use of other power cord may result in fire or electric shock.
• Unplug the power cord when you are not going to use the unit for an extended period of time.

iPod dock port

Connect the iPod dock (option) to this port.

• Make sure the label A side of the plug is up.
• Securely insert the plug until a slight "click" is heard.

To disconnect the dock
Push the buttons of the plug and pull.

• When you change the source on the AG-H600 series receiver from CD to another, playback stops on PD-H600.

When you want to use the system control functions, connect the SYSTEM CONTROL jack of each component by a system control connection cord (supplied with PD-H600), and set the SYSTEM CONTROL SELECTOR switch on the rear panel of the PD-H600 to "SYSTEM".

Speaker Connection

• Check the impedance of your speakers. Connect speaker with an impedance of between 4 ohms and 8 ohms.
• The red speaker terminals are (positive) and the black speaker terminals are (negative).
  Generally, the side of the speaker cable is marked to make it distinguishable from the side of the cable. Connect the marked side to the terminal and the unmarked side to the black terminal.
• The metal portions of the two separate wires should not touch or an electrical short can occur. Shorted wires can create a fire hazard or induce a failure in your equipment.
• Be sure to insert each plug securely. To prevent hum and noise, avoid bundling the cables together with the AC power cord or other cables.

How to connect:

1. Turn the terminal cap counterclockwise to loosen it. The speaker terminal caps cannot be fully removed from the base.
2. Insert the wire into the terminal and turn the terminal cap clockwise to securely connect it:
   
   • Make sure none of the wire insulation is under the terminal and only the bare, stripped wire is touching the terminal.

There are two ways of connecting to the computer: using Shared Media and using Shared Folders.

Shared Media

Using the Shared Media function, AG-H600NT can play back the music files in the shared media library on your computer. Tag items such as artist names and album names can be viewed from AG-H600NT as well.
You need a PC running on Windows XP or Windows Vista, and Windows Media Player 11 or later on it.

Shared Folders

Once you set the files on your computer open to access, AG-H600NT can connect to the computer and play back the files. To use this function, you need to configure the sharing settings of your music folders so that other computers or AG-H600NT can read the files. This function is available both on Windows and on Macintosh.

Preparations for Shared Media
