Am Outdoor Antenna; Connecting The Speakers; Placing The Speakers; Installing Batteries In The Remote Control - RCA 3-DVD Changer Owner's Manual

Connect the loop antenna's wires to
in a location (for example, on a shelf or window frame) that gives the
best reception.
Keep the antenna as far away as possible from the entire system,
speaker cords and the power cord to prevent unwanted noise.

AM Outdoor Antenna

If the supplied AM loop antenna does not deliver sufficient reception,
use an outdoor AM antenna (not supplied).
Note: Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do not disconnect
the AM indoor loop antenna.
Use an insulated wire more than 15 ft (5 m) long. Strip one end, and
connect that end to .
AM
The antenna wire should be strung outdoors or indoors near a win-
dow. For better reception, connect the
ground.

CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS

When connecting equipment, always make sure the power is
switched off and the power cord is disconnected from the wall outlet.
Note: Use speakers with a normal impedance of 6 Ohms.
Follow these steps to connect the speakers.
1. Remove the plastic end pieces from the wires.
2. Twist the exposed ends of the bare wire strands.
3. Press up (or down) the speaker's terminal and insert the appro-
priate wire ends. The color of the speaker wire's plastic coating is
the same as the color of the matching terminal.
Note: Be sure to connect each speaker to the appropriate
speaker terminal, connecting positive to positive (+ to +) and
negative to negative (– to –).
4. Connect the front speaker's wire to the receiver's
and terminals (Red/Black).
FRONT L R
Connect the rear speaker's wire to the receiver's

Connect the subwoofer's wire to the receiver's
WOOFER terminal (Brown/Black).
5. Release the speaker terminal.
6. Plug the AC power cord into an AC wall socket.

PLACING THE SPEAKERS

1. Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances from
the TV.
2. Install the center speaker above or below the TV so that the
sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.
Caution: If you choose to install the center speaker on top of the
TV, be sure to secure it, to reduce the risk of damage or injury

resulting from the speaker falling from the TV in the event of
external shocks (for example, earthquakes).
3. If possible, install the surround speakers slightly above ear level.
Note: Try not to install the surround speakers farther away from
the listening position than the front and center speakers. Doing
so can weaken the surround effect.
To achieve the best possible surround sound, install your speakers
as shown below. Be sure all speakers are installed securely to pre-
vent accidents and improve sound quality.

INSTALLING BATTERIES IN THE REMOTE
CONTROL
Your remote control requires two AAA batteries (not supplied) for
power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend
RadioShack alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended
type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow
to remove it.
2. Place the batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polar-
ity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.
3. Replace the cover.
When the remote control stops operating properly, replace the batter-
ies.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn
or bury them.
Caution: If you do not plan to use the remote control for a month or
longer, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can
destroy electronic parts.
