Warning
Emerson Radio Corp. has produced this audio/video product
under license from Nickelodeon. We have taken great care to
make sure your unit was in perfect working order when it left
our factory.
Thank you for purchasing this Compact Audio/Video System.
This state of the art system includes everything you need
to experience digital video and audio in the comfort of
your own living room. The only thing you need to add is
your own TV. We have designed this system to be easy
to set up, and even easier to use. But please, review this
manual before you operate your system. Have it handy
while you are setting the system up. Keep it available for
future reference in the unlikely event that you encounter
any unexpected problems. The manual begins with a
description of the important controls on the main unit and
the remote. It then explains how to connect your TV, and
how to operate the DVD/CD player. If you follow the
instructions carefully you can have the system up and
operating in less than an hour.
All of the optional system settings have been preset at our
factory for correct operation of the system in North America.
All you have to do is insert a disk, sit back, and enjoy a great
audio/video experience.
Eventually you may want to change some of the optional
settings. A description of all the optional settings, and
instructions for changing them, is found in the second half of
the manual.
This system was designed to provide you with many
years of reliable operation with a minimum of care and
maintenance. Every component in your system was in
perfect working condition when it left our factory. If you
experience any problems with the set up or operation of
this system please review the Trouble Shooting Guide at the

11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
This product is equipped with an alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will
fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
