UNPACKING AND SETUP
• Carefully remove the unit from the display carton
and remove all packing material from the unit
• Unwind the AC power cord and extend it to its full
length
• Unwind the FM Antenna wire and extend it to its
full length
• Place the unit on a stable, level surface, close to
an AC outlet, out of direct sunlight, and away from
sources of excess heat, dust, moisture, humidity, or
strong magnetic elds
• Raise the lid to expose the phonograph. The phonograph has been secured for shipment with a transit
screw. Use a coin or screwdriver to TURN THE TRANSIT SCREW CLOCKWISE. This will allow the turntable
to “oat” and turn freely.
• Remove the opaque white plastic stylus cover from the
phonograph stylus by sliding it in the direction of the
arrow.
• Discard the stylus cover.
• Remove the twist-tie that was used to secure the tone
arm during shipment.
• Release the tone arm lock lever.
• Connect the plug to your AC outlet, as shown below.
POWER SOURCE
This system is designed to operate on normal 120V
60Hz AC only. Attempting to operate this system
from any other power source may cause damage to
the system, and such damage is not covered by your
warranty.
Note: This system is equipped with a polarized AC power plug having one blade wider than the other.
This is a safety feature. If this plug does not t into your existing AC outlet, do not try to defeat this safety
feature by altering the wide blade to make it t into your outlet. If this plug will not t into your outlet,
you probably have an outdated non-polarized AC outlet. Have the obsolete outlet changed by a qualied
licensed electrician.

PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE
This model is equipped with non-skid rubber ‘feet’ to prevent the product from moving when you operate
the controls. These ‘feet’ are made from non-migrating rubber material specially formulated to avoid
leaving any marks or stains on your furniture. However, certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood
preservatives, or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber ‘feet’ to soften, and leave marks or a rubber residue
on the furniture. To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly recommend that you purchase small
self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware stores and home improvement centers everywhere, and
apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber ‘feet’ before you place the product on ne wooden furniture.
