Remote Control Battery
The remote control requires one “button-type” 3-volt lithium battery, included. To extend the life of the original battery we have inserted a small clear plastic spacer tab between the lithium battery and the battery terminal.
You must remove this battery s pacer tab before you can use the remote control.
To remove the tab, pull it in the direction of the arrow in the illustration as shown.
Remove before use
Remueva antes de usar
When the operation of the remote control becomes intermittent or unsatisfactory, replace the original battery with a new 3-volt lithium battery.
The battery number is CR2025 or equivalent. To replace the battery, slide the battery holder out of the remote control as shown
in the following illustration.
Remove the original battery from the holder and install a new CR2025 battery with the “+” side facing up as shown in the illustration. Then slide the battery holder back into the remote control.
Dispose of the original battery properly. It should not be thrown into a fire as the battery may explode if incinerated. It should not be left around where small children or pets might play with, or swallow it. If the battery is accidentally swallowed, contact a physician immediately.

Connecting The Speakers
Note: Always connect the speakers before switching the power ‘On’, and never operate the system without the speakers properly connected.
The speaker cables and the speaker terminals are color-coded. Connect the Red wires to the Red terminals. Connect the Black wires to the Black terminals. If the wires are connected incorrectly
the sound will be “muddy” or distorted. To make the connections, push the Red levers upward, and the Black levers
downward to open the terminals. Insert the bare ends of the speaker wires into the terminal openings and then push the red and black levers back to their original positions to close the terminal openings and lock the wires in place.

Active Subwoofer Output Jack
This system includes an output jack for the connection of an optional active/powered subwoofer. The subwoofer must have its own power supply and AC power cord. You cannot use a passive/un-powered subwoofer.
Connect your active subwoofer to the SUBWOOFER output jack on the back panel of this system. Connection cable is not included.
Connect the subwoofers AC power cord to your AC outlet, set the subwoofer power switch ‘On’ and adjust the subwoofers level control to the desired setting.
When you operate this system the low frequencies will be sent to the external powered subwoofer for a more powerful bass sound.
Note: the remote controller of this system cannot control the external Subwoofer. You must remember to switch the external Subwoofer ‘On’ and ‘Off’, and adjust the subwoofer output manually.

Stereo Headphone Jack
This system includes a stereo PHONES jack on the back panel of the main unit. You may connect a set of stereo headphones, not included, to this jack for private listening without disturbing others.
The main speakers are automatically shut off when headphones are connected to the PHONES jack. Make sure that the plug from your headphones is fully inserted into the headphone jack. If the plug is not fully inserted the sound may be intermittent, or you may only hear sound from one side of the headphones.
IMPORTANT: To prevent hearing damage always set the volume control to a low level before you connect the headphones. Then connect the headphones, put them on, and very gradually increase the volume to a comfortable listening level. Remember that CDs may contain both very soft and very loud passages. Adjust the volume to a comfortable level using a louder passage, so that you always know what the maximum level will be.
Placement Of The System
The system should be placed on a stable, level surface such as a table, shelf, or stand, convenient to a 120V 60Hz AC outlet, out of direct sunlight, and away from sources of excess heat, dust, moisture, or vibration.
The speakers may be separated from the main as far the wires allow for maximum stereo separation, or the may be placed to the immediate left and right of the main unit.

Power Source
AC Outlet
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. The plug will only fit into matching polarized AC outlets. This is a s afety feature to reduce the
possibility of electric shoc k. If the plug will not fit in your AC outlets, you probably have outdated non-polarized outlet. You should have your outdated outlet changed by a qualified, licensed electrician. Do not file the wide blade on the plug, or use an adapter to make the plug fit into your outlet. This defeats the safety feature and could expose you to electric shock.
AC Plug
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.
