PREPARATION FOR USE

UNPACKING AND SET UP

• Carefully remove the unit from the carton and remove all packing materials

from the unit.

• The AC power cord is separate from the main unit. Make sure that the power

cord is not accidentally thrown away with the packing materials.

• Carefully remove any small strips of tape which may have been used to keep

the CD and Cassette doors closed during shipment.

• Open the CD compartment by lifting the “OPEN” tab on top panel. Inside the

CD compartment you will see a white transit card which is used to prevent the
laser pick-up from moving during shipment. Carefully remove this card and
close the CD compartment door.

• Please save the carton and packing materials in the event that your unit ever

needs to be returned for service. The original carton and packing materials are
the only way to protect the unit from damage during shipment.

• Unwind the FM lead wire antenna and extend it to its full length.

• Remove the twist-tie from the AC power cord and extend it to its full length.

AC Outlet

POWER SOURCE

This system is designed to operate on normal 120V 60 Hz AC house current 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.

Plug the small end to AC socket on back panel, and Conect the AC plug to your AC
outlet. See illustration below.

NOTE: This unit has a polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow
blade. This plug will only fit into a matching polarized AC outlet. This is a safety
feature to reduce the possibility of electric shock. If this plug will not fit in your AC
outlet, you probably have an outdated non­polarized outlet.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outdated outlet changed by a qualified,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.

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.
