Precautions
Installation
• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor
too cold—between 5°C and 35°C.
• Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to
prevent internal heat buildup in the System.
DO NOT install the System in a location
near heat sources, or in a place subject to
direct sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.
• Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV.
• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference
with TV.
Power sources
• When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always
pull on the plug, not the AC power cord.
DO NOT handle the AC power cord with
wet hands.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lenses inside the System in
the following cases:
• After starting to heat the room
• In a damp room
• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm
place.
Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case,
leave the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture
evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again.
Internal heat
•
A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel to prevent heat
buildup inside the unit.
For safety, observe the following carefully:
• Make sure there is good ventilation around
the unit. Poor ventilation could overheat
and damage the unit.
• DO NOT block the cooling fan and the
ventilation openings or holes. If they are
blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the
heat may not be able to get out.
Others
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the System,
unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer before
operating any further.
DO NOT disassemble the System since there
are no user serviceable parts inside.
• If you are not going to operate the System for an extended
period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall
outlet.
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and
consult your dealer.

Step 2: Prepare the remote control.
Getting Started
Step 1: Unpack
After unpacking, check to be sure that you have all the
following items. The number in parentheses indicates the
quantity of each piece supplied.
• FM antenna (1)
• AM loop antenna (1)
• Remote control (1)
• Batteries (2)
If any item is missing, consult your dealer immediately.
Step 2: Prepare the Remote Control
Insert the batteries into the remote control by matching the
polarity (+ and –) correctly.
Step 3: Hook up the components such
as AM/FM antennas, the
speakers, etc.
Finally plug the AC power cord.
Now you can operate this System.
• DO NOT use an old battery together with a
new one.
• DO NOT use different types of batteries
together.
• DO NOT expose batteries to heat or flame.
• DO NOT leave the batteries in the battery
compartment when you are not going to use
the remote control for an extended period of
time. Otherwise, the remote control will be
damaged from battery leakage.

• If the AM loop antenna wire or speaker cords are covered with
vinyl, remove the vinyl to expose the tip of the antenna by
twisting the vinyl.
• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other
terminals, connecting cords and power cord. Also, keep the
antennas away from metallic parts of the System, connecting
cords, and the AC power cord. This could cause poor
condition.
3 Release
To connect the speaker cords
• When connecting the speaker cords, match the polarity of
the speaker terminals: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).
• Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance as
indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of the unit.
• DO NOT connect more than one speaker to
each terminal.
• DO NOT push or pull the speakers as this
will damage the foot spacers at the bottom of
the speakers.
