UNPACKING AND SET-UP
• Carefully remove the unit from the carton and remove all packing material from
the unit.
• Remove any labels or stickers which may be on the front or top of the set, but
do not remove any labels from the back or bottom.
• We suggest that you retain the original carton and packing materials in case it
ever becomes necessary to return your unit for service. This is the only sure
way to protect the unit from damage in transit.
• Remove any small strips of tape that may have been used to prevent the CD
door from opening in transit.
• Unwind the lead wire FM antenna on the back of the unit and extend it to its full
length.

“dummy CD” card must be removed before you can use the CD player. Refer

POWER SOURCE
AC Outlet
This system is designed to operate on 120V 60Hz AC house current . Connecting
this system to any other power supply could result in damage to the unit which is
not covered by your warranty.You will note that 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
fit into your ex isting AC outlet, do
not try to defeat this safety feature
by filing the wide blade to make it fit
into your outlet. If this plug will not
fit into your outlet, you probably have an out-dated non-polarized AC outlet. You
should have your outlet changed by a qualified licensed electrician.
AC Operation
1.) Unwind the AC Power Cord completely.
2.) Insert the plug into any convenient 120V 60Hz AC outlet.

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 c leaning 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 fine wooden furniture.
