SPEAKER CONNECTION

1. Place the speakers in convenient locations on either side of the unit or connect them to the unit as described below.

2. Locate the Speaker Jacks on the sides of the unit and connect the right speaker to the Right Speaker jack and the left speaker to the Left Speaker jack.To extend the speaker wire, connect the speaker plug into the extender (the side with the hole) and the other side of the extender (with the pin) into the respective speaker jack.

INSERTING AND REMOVING THE FLOOR STANDS

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.

To insert the floor stands, firmly insert a floor stand into each speaker and the main unit as shown.

To remove the floor stands, grasp the stand as shown and pull out the floor stand from each speaker and the main unit.

MOUNTING THE SPEAKERS AND THE MAIN UNIT

To mount the speakers and the main unit, make sure the speakers are plugged into their respective speaker jacks, then secure the two speakers to the main unit using the Mounting Plate and the eight screws. To remove the Mounting plate, reverse the procedure. NOTE: When mounting the speakers to the main unit, if the extended speaker wire is too long, insert the wire back into the hole on the speaker to prevent damage to the wire.

HANGING THE UNIT ON A WALL

If connected, remove the floor stands by grasping the stand as shown and pulling out the floor stand from each speaker and the main unit. Mount the speakers and the main unit together as shown in MOUNTING THE SPEAKERS AND MAIN UNIT above.

AC ADAPTOR CONNECTION

Connect the AC adapter (included) to an AC outlet having 120V, 60Hz AC only. Plug the small end into the DC 12V jack on the bottom of the main unit.

CAUTION: Do not touch the AC adapter with wet hands. Fully insert the plug without exposing any part of the blade.

DC 12V
