PREPARATION FOR USE Unpacking And Set Up • Remove the main unit, the speakers, and the remote control unit from the display carton. Remove all packing materials from the components. We recommend that you save the original carton and packing material if possible, in the event that your system even needs to be returned for service.
Connecting the Speakers Place the speakers on either side of the main unit. Connect the speaker on the left side of the main unit to the “L” speaker jack on the back panel. Connect the speaker on the right side of the main unit to the “R” speaker jack on the back panel.
Remote Control Battery The remote control operates on one 3-volt lithium battery, type CR2025 or equivalent, included. To insure that the battery is fresh the first time you use your system we have placed plastic spacer between the battery and the battery terminal. You must remove this spacer before using the remote for the first time.
Changing The Lithium Battery When the operation of the remote becomes intermittent or the main unit no longer responds to the remote commands, it is probably time to change the remote battery. Open the battery compartment by squeezing the battery compartment locking tab as shown and slide the battery holder out of the battery compartment.
Power Source This system is designed to operate on 120V AC 60Hz house current only. Connecting this system to any other power source may cause damage to the system and such damage is not covered by your warranty. NOTE: The system has polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow blade.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS • Make sure that you have unwound the AC power cord and the FM wire antenna and extended them to their full length. • Make sure that you have connected the speakers. • Make sure that you have removed the plastic battery spacer tab from the remote control.

Antenna Information The AM ferrite bar antenna is inside the cabinet. If AM reception is unsatisfactory try turning the entire unit slightly until you find the direction that provides the best reception for the desired station. Make sure the FM lead wire antenna is extended to its full length. You may have to vary the direction of the wire antenna to find the position that provides the best reception.
Presetting Stations In The Tuner Memory The tuner in this system has a total of 20 preset station memories that allow you to store up to 10 AM and 10 FM stations for easy recall at any time. 1.) Tune to the first station that you wish to store by either the Automatic or Manual Tuning method described on page 14.
Auto Preset Function This model includes an Auto-Preset feature which you can use to automatically enter 10 strong FM and AM stations in the tuner preset memory. NOTE: This feature is useful if you live in a rural area with a limited number of stations.
Playing Compact Discs NOTE: Although the CD player can read CD-R and CD-RW discs, in addition to normal CDs, however the playability of CD-R/RW discs may be affected by the type of software that was used to create the discs, as well as the quality and condition of the blank media you are using.
