1 Introduction Precautions Installation •Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold—between 5°C and 35°C.•Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat buildup in the System.• Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV.• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference with TV. Power sources • When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always pull on the plug, not the AC power cord. Moisture condensation Moisture may condense on the lenses inside the System in the following cases:• After starting to heat the room• In a damp room• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm place. Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case, leave the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again. Internal heat •A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel to prevent heat buildup inside the unit. Others • Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the System, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer before operating any further.• If you are not going to operate the System for an extended period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer. How to Read This Manual To make the explanations in this manual as simple and easy-to-understand as possible, we have adapted the following methods:•Button and control operations are explained as listed in the table below.• Some related tips and notes are explained later in the sections “Learning More about This System” and “Troubleshooting,” but not in the same section explaining the operations. If you want to know more about the functions, or if you have a doubt about the functions, go to these sections and you will find the answers.DO NOT install the System in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet hands. For safety, observe the following carefully: •Make sure there is good ventilation around the unit. Poor ventilation could overheat and damage the unit.• DO NOT block the cooling fan and the ventilation openings or holes. If they are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.DO NOT disassemble the System since there are no user serviceable parts inside. Indicates that you press the button briefly .Indicates that you press the button briefly and repeatedly until an option you want is selected.Indicates that you press one of the buttons.Indicate that you press and hold the button for an specified periods.• The number inside the arrow indicates the period of press (in this example, 2 seconds).• If no number is inside the arrow, press and hold until the entire procedure is complete or until you get a result you want.Indicate that you turn the control toward the specified direction(s).Indicates that this operation is only possible using the remote control.Indicates that this operation is only possible using the buttons and controls on the main unit.2 sec.RemoteONLYMain UnitONLYHX-C6[J].book Page 1 Monday, February 28, 2005 1:23 PM

3 Getting Started Step 1 : Unpack After unpacking, check to be sure that you have all the following items. The number in parentheses indicates the quantity of each piece supplied.• FM antenna (1)• AM loop antenna (1)• Remote control (1)• Batteries (2)If any item is missing, consult your dealer immediately. Step 2 : Prepare the Remote Control Insert the batteries into the remote control by matching the polarity (+ and –) correctly.Step 1:Unpack the package and check the accessories.Step 2: Prepare the remote control.Step 3:Hook up the components such as AM/FM antennas, the speakers, etc.Finally plug the AC power cord.Now you can operate this System. •DO NOT use an old battery together with a new one.• DO NOT use different types of batteries together.•DO NOT expose batteries to heat or flame.• DO NOT leave the batteries in the battery compartment when you are not going to use the remote control for an extended period of time. Otherwise, the remote control will be damaged from battery leakage.321R6(SUM-3)/AA(15F)HX-C6[J].book Page 3 Monday, February 28, 2005 1:23 PM
4 Step 3 : Hook Up If you need more detailed information, see page 5.Illustrations of the input/output terminals below are typical examples.When you connect other components, refer also to their manuals since the terminal names actually printed on the rear vary among the components.Turn the power off to all components before connections.To a wall outletPlug the AC power cord only after all connections are complete.• Demonstration will start automatically. To cancel it, see page 8.AM loop antenna (supplied)Turn it until the best reception is obtained.FM antenna (supplied)Extend it so that you can obtain the best reception.To assemble the AM loop antenna Do not connect the power cord until all other connections have been made.HX-C6[J].book Page 4 Monday, February 28, 2005 1:23 PM
5 To connect the AM loop antenna cords • Connect black cord to the H terminal, and the while cord to the other terminal.•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 condition. For better FM/AM reception To connect the speaker cordsTo connect other equipment By using a stereo mini plug cord (not supplied), you can connect equipment with analog audio output jacks such as an MD player, 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. • The supplied speakers do not conform to magnetically shielded design. Place the speakers enough distance from a TV so that they do not cause color irregularity on the TV.• When connecting the speaker cords, match their polarity with that of the speaker terminals: red/blue to (+) and black to (–).• Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance as indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of the unit.1 Hold2 Insert3 ReleaseOutdoor FM antenna(not supplied)Disconnect the supplied FM antenna, and connect to an outdoor FM antenna using a 75 Ω wire with coaxial type connector. Vinyl-covered wire (not supplied)When reception is poor, connect a single vinyl-covered wire to the AM EXT terminal and extend it horizontally. AM loop antennaKeep it connected. • DO NOT connect more than one speaker to each terminal.• DO NOT push or pull the speakers as this will damage the foot spacers at the bottom of the speakers. IMPORTANT • Always set volume to VOL MIN when connecting or disconnecting the other equipment.DO NOT plug in any equipment until all connections are complete.RedBlackFrom right speakerFrom left speaker1 Hold 2 Insert 3 ReleaseBlueBlack(front panel)Audio equipmentoutputStereo mini plug cord (not supplied) Do not connect the power cord until all other connections have been made.HX-C6[J].book Page 5 Monday, February 28, 2005 1:23 PM
