This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
In accordance with FCC requirements, changes or modifications not expressly approved by Thomson Consumer Electronics could void the
user’s authority to operate this product.
This product complies with DHHS Rules 21 CFR Subchapter J. Applicable at the date of manufacture.
This device generates and uses radio frequency (RF) energy, and if not installed and used properly, this equipment may cause interference
to radio and television reception.
This equipment has been type tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B Computing Device in accordance with the
specifications of FCC Rules. These rules are designed to provide reasonable protection against radio and television interference in a
residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception (which you can determine by turning the equipment off and on),
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for the radio or television that is “receiving” the interference).
• Change the position of the unit with respect to the radio or television equipment that is receiving interference.
• Move the unit away from the equipment that is receiving interference.
• Plug the unit into a different wall outlet so that the unit and the equipment receiving interference are on different branch circuits.
If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional
suggestions. Also, the Federal Communications Commission has prepared a helpful booklet, “How To Identify and Resolve Radio TV
Interference Problems.” This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. Please specify stock
number 004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies.
Safety Precautions
•Never open the cabinet under any circumstances. Any repairs or internal adjustments should be made only by a
trained technician.
•Warning: Never operate this product with the cabinet removed.
•Do not touch the player with wet hands. If any liquid enters the player cabinet, take the player to a trained
technician for inspection.
•This compact disc player uses a laser to read the music on the disc. The laser mechanism corresponds to the
cartridge and stylus of a record player. Although this product incorporates a laser pick-up lens, it is completely
safe when operated according to directions.
•Discs rotate at high speed inside the player. Do not use damaged, warped, or cracked discs.
For Your Safety
The AC power plug is polarized (one blade is wider than the other) and only fits into AC power outlets one
way. If the plug won’t go into the outlet completely, turn the plug over and try to insert it the other way. If it
still won’t fit, contact a qualified electrician to change the outlet, or use a different one. Do not attempt to
bypass this safety feature.

SPECIAL FEATURES
This user’s guide was written for a series of audio systems that share many of the same features. Please refer to
the chart below as you read through the guide to help you identify exactly which features match the system
you have purchased.
MODEL
RP-9328
RP-9348

SRS ( )*
This feature brings dimensional realism to stereo sound. When the SRS is on, your system electronically
increases the audio separation of the speakers so you can perceive a more spacious stereo sound effect, like
Home Theatre.
SRS allows you to hear multiple sound sources. Audio frequencies are processed to establish directional
cues, which give the impression that sound is coming from all parts of the room. Additional speakers are
not required, but the addition of a subwoofer optimizes the sound performance.
CUSTOM EQ
This feature allows you to custom set your system’s bass, middle range and treble levels.

First Things First
Unpack the system
Unpack the system and its accessories. You should
have:
•main unit;
•two main speakers and two surround speakers;
•the RCA IR remote control;
•an external/detachable FM wire type “T” dipole
antenna;
•and an external AM loop antenna.
Check for moisture
Just as moisture can form on the inside of windows
on a cold day, it can also form on the inside of your
stereo, causing it to malfunction. Some situations in
which condensation might form include the
following:
•Immediately after a heater has been turned on;
•In a steamy or very humid room;
•When the system is suddenly moved from a cold
environment to a warm, moist one; for example, in
moving the stereo from a cool air conditioned
room to an outside porch on a humid, summer day.
If moisture forms inside this player, it may not
operate properly. To correct the problem, turn off
the power and wait about 30 minutes for moisture
to evaporate.

Choose a Location
These guidelines should be followed when deciding
on a place to put your stereo system:
•Choose a level, solid, surface. Don’t place it on a
soft surface, such as carpeting or foam rubber.
•Choose a location away from direct sunlight,
radiators, air ducts, and other sources of heat.
•Avoid locations that are subject to moisture,
mechanical vibration, shock, or excessive dust.
•Make sure that the location has adequate air
circulation. Good ventilation is essential to protect
the system from internal heat build up.
Remote
Control
Be a Pack Rat
It is a good idea to keep the box and all of the packing
materials your system came with in case you need to store,
move or ship the unit at a later date.

SETTING UP THE SYSTEM
Connecting & placing
the speakers
Each speaker has its own connection terminals on
the back of the system, so connect the wires from
each speaker to one set of terminals. When
connecting the speakers, make sure that the bare
end of each wire makes contact with the metal grips
inside the terminal. There are connections provided
for main and surround speakers.
1. Press down on the tab to open the red terminal
and insert the red wire (+) into the red terminal.
2. Press down on the tab to open the black terminal
and insert the black wire (–) into the black
terminal.
WARNING: Be sure to follow these instructions
carefully. The system can be damaged if speakers
are improperly connected.
The speakers should be set between 6 and 10 feet
apart. Putting the speakers any closer or any farther
apart may result in distorted sound.
The speakers should also form a 45 degree angle to
the central listening point in the room, creating a
triangle of listening enjoyment.

Connecting the
Antennas
The AM and FM wire antennas connect to the FM
ANTENNA terminals and AM terminal on the
system’s back panel, and must be connected for
clear reception. Connect the antenna wires similar
to the way you connected the speakers.
After connecting the antennas, extend them to their
full length; then you can adjust their position for
better reception when you are listening to the
radio.

Connecting Components
Use the VIDEO input jacks on the back of the system
to add a component that provides an additional
source of sound into your system (VIDEO 1 or
VIDEO 2) – additional VCRs, camcorders, or other
compatible devices.
To hook up an auxiliary component, match the left
and right audio output plugs from the component
to the left (L) and right (R) VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2
input jacks on the back panel.
Connecting for power
Plug the power cord into an AC power outlet that
accepts the polarized plug (one blade wider than
the other).
Using headphones
To listen privately to your favorite CDs, tapes and
radio stations, your system has been equipped with
a PHONES jack.
NOTE:Make sure that you turn down the stereo before
you put on headphones, then increase the volume to the
desired level after they are in place.
Setting the timer/clock
Your system is equipped with clock and timer
functions. You can use the timer function to turn
your system on automatically.
To set the clock:

level is stored and will not be disturbed during
normal system operation.
NOTE: The timer feature will not activate if the
system is in use.
The system will turn off after one hour if activated
by the timer feature. However, any adjustment
made to the system during the one hour period
will deactivate the automatic turn-off feature.

CLOCK button until the red clock symbol
disappears from the display.
To activate the Timer again, press the TIMER/
CLOCK button once. The red clock symbol will
appear in the display.
