surfaces may cause the appliance and cart
combination to overturn.
Slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or bottom are
provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of the product and
to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or
covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product
on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface. This product should never
be placed near or over a radiator or heat source. This product should
not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack
unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's instructions
have been adhered to.
This product should be operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power
supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power
company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or
other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
This product is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug
(a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the
power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug
should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying
particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the appliance.
To protect your product from a lightning storm, or when it is left
unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall
outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it
can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside
antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching
such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
15. OVERLOADING
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a
risk of fire or electric shock.
16. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY
Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they
may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in
fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid on the product.
OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING
17.
If an outside antenna is connected to the product, be sure the antenna
system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electric
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the leadin wire to an antenna discharge product, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna discharge product, connection to grounding
electrodes and requirements for grounding electrode.
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER
NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE

PREPARATION FOR USE
AC OPERATION
Unwind the AC power cord and extend it to its full length. Insert the AC power cord into any convenient
120V 60Hz household outlet.
Please note that this unit is equipped with a polarized AC plug which
has one blade wider than the other. This is a safety feature to reduce
the likelihood of electric shock. This polarized AC plug will only fit in a
polarized AC outlet. If you find that you cannot insert this plug into your
outlet, you may have an obsolete non-polarized outlet. Please do not
try to defeat this safety feature by using a non-polarized adapter or by
filing the wider blade to make it fit into your outlet. If this plug does not
fit into your outlet, you should contact a qualified licensed electrician to
replace your obsolete outlet.
SPEAKER CONNECTION
1. Place the speakers in convenient locations on either side of the unit.
Usually a distance of five to eight feet between speakers provides the
best stereo effect, but this may vary depending on the size and acoustics
of the room.
2. Press the terminal on the rear of the unit to the unlocked position, insert
the speaker wire and press the terminal back to the lock position.
Connect the striped wires to the red (+) terminals and connect the solid
black wires to the black (–) terminals.
3. To connect the speakers, press the terminal down, insert the speaker wire
and press the terminal back to the lock position.
4. Pull lightly on the both connections (speaker and main unit) to make sure
they are secure.
5. Connect the Speaker Light cable to the Speaker Light jacks on the rear of
the unit. These will light up the lamp on the speakers when the unit is on.
6. The left speaker has a subwoofer jack. Plug one end of the audio patch cord to
this jack and the other end to the rear of the unit.
CAUTION: Only connect the speakers which are supplied with the unit. The use of
any other or additional speakers may cause damage to the unit. Never operate the
unit without the speakers connected.
