PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE!!

This system 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 fine

wooden furniture.

DEAR JENSEN® CUSTOMER

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

 Start your volume control at a low setting.  Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without

distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

 Set the dial and leave it there. Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

We Want You Listening For a Lifetime

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.

Customer's Record:

The serial number of this product is found on its back cover. You should note the serial number of this unit in the space provided as a permanent record of your purchase to aid in identification in the event of theft of loss.

GETTING STARTED

SPEAKER CONNECTION

1. Insert the speaker cable ends (exposed wires) into the terminals located on the back of the

main unit by pushing down the lever of the left speaker terminal and then the right speaker

terminal

2. Connect the left speaker to the left speaker terminals with the red wire to L+ and the black wire

to L -.

3. Connect the right speaker to the right speaker terminals with the red wire to R+ and the black

wire to R -.

NOTE:

Make sure that the power is turned off when connecting or disconnecting the speakers.

Make sure that the speakers are connected to the correct terminals.

CONNECTING THE AC POWER CORD

After connecting the speakers unwind the AC power cord fully and connect it to any convenient household 120V~ 60Hz AC outlet.

NOTE:

The product is designed to operate on normal 120V~ 60Hz AC only. Connecting this system to any other power supply could result in damage to the unit which is not covered by your warranty. You will noted 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 existing AC outlet, do not try to defeat this safety feature by filling the wide blade to make it fit into your outlet. If this plug will not fit into your outlet, you probably have an outdated non-polarized AC outlet. You should have your outlet changed by a qualified licensed electrician.
