Connecting the FM and AM antennas
1
FM antenna connections
• Connect the FM antenna to the FM 75
Ω
COAXIAL terminal.
• Unwind the antenna wire and then fasten it to a wall in an area
where reception is best.
- If reception is poor, connect the outdoor antenna.
Remove the existing FM antenna before connecting the 75
Ω
coaxial cable.
2
AM antenna connections
• Connect the AM loop antenna to the AM and terminals on
the back of the unit.
• Rotate the loop antenna until you have the best reception.
Cooling fan
The cooling fan in the rear center of the unit ensures reliable operation and protects it from overheating.
It will operate automatically is power on mode.
For safety, please take note of the following points:
• Make sure that the unit is well-ventilated. Poor ventilation may cause damage by overheating.
• Make sure that the cooling fan or ventilation holes are not obstructed. (If the ventilation holes are blocked by newspaper,
clothes, etc., heat builds up inside the main unit, resulting in a risk of fire.)
• When the power is supplied to the main unit, the cooling fan will be activated.

MP3 Play (CD-R MP3 disc requirements)
When playing CD-R MP3 discs, please follow the recommendations below:
• Your MP3 files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET format.
ISO 9660 format and Joliet MP3 files are compatible with Microsoft's DOS and Windows, and with
Apple's Mac. These two formats are the most widely used.
• When naming your MP3 files do not exceed 8 characters, and place ".mp3" as the file extension.
General name format of: Title.mp3. When composing your title, make sure that you use 8 characters or
less, have no spaces in the name, and avoid the use of special characters including: (.,/,\,=,+).
• Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 128 Kbps when recording MP3 files.
Sound quality with MP3 files basically depends on the rate of compression/decompression you choose.
Getting audio CD quality sound requires an analog/digital sampling rate (conversion to MP3 format) of at
least 128 Kbps and up to 160 Kbps. However, choosing higher rates, like 192 Kbps or more, only rarely
give better sound quality. Conversely, files with sampling rates below 128 Kbps will not be played
properly.
• Do not try recording copyright protected MP3 files.
Certain "securized" files are encrypted and code protected to prevent illegal copying. These files are of the
following types: Windows MediaTM (registered trade mark of Microsoft Inc) and SDMITM (registered trade
mark of The SDMI Foundation). You cannot copy such files.
• Your DVD player only accepts one level of file directory. Consequently you must choose:
- either to save all your MP3 recording files at the root of the disc;
- and/or create folders in the directory for each artist or music type (e.g.classical, rock, jazz, etc)
• Important: The above recommendations cannot be taken as a guarantee that the DVD player will play MP3
recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality. You should note that certain technologies and methods
for MP3 file recording on CD-Rs prevent optimal playback of these files on your DVD player (degraded
sound quality and in some cases, inability of the player to read the files).
