Connecting the Speakers

When connecting the speakers, match the red wires to the red
jacks and the black wires to the black jacks. Each speaker has a
black and a red jack, one for positive and one for negative. The
top two jacks are for the right speaker, while the bottom two
jacks are for the left speaker.

Using the FM and AM Antennas

Before you use your audio system, you’ll want to make sure
both the FM and AM antennas are positioned properly. The FM
antenna is the coiled wire connected to the back of the unit.
Uncoil it, making sure it is fully extended (you may even want
to tape it to the wall behind the unit, if possible. The higher, the
better.) You’ll also need to connect the AM antenna loop to the
back of the unit if you listen to AM stations.

EQ Presets

Press the PRESET EQ button to cycle through the Flat, Rock, Pop, and Jazz presets. As you cycle through the presets,
listen carefully to how the sound changes.

Customizing the EQ Settings

You may find that customizing your EQ settings may work best for you. This feature allows you to adjust the bass
frequency for a fuller, deeper sound from bass-producing instruments, such as drums; the mid-range for more defined
vocals; and the treble for higher frequencies, such as cymbals. You can set the levels from -10 to +10 for each EQ setting
(bas, mid, tre).

1. Press and release the PRESET EQ button until CUSTOM is displayed.

2. Press the PRESET left or right button to cycle through the EQ settings.

3. While the desired setting is displayed, press the VOLUME up or down button to set the level (-10 to +10).

4. Repeat steps 2-3 for any other settings you want to adjust.

PRESET EQ

Connexion des haut-parleurs

Lorsque vous connectez les haut-parleurs, faites correspondre
les fils rouges avec les prises rouges et les fils noirs avec les
prises noires. Chaque haut-parleur comporte une prise noire
et une prise rouge en plus d’une pour le négatif. Les deux
prises supérieures vont vers le haut-parleur droit, tandis que
les deux prises inférieures vont vers le haut-parleur gauche.

Utilisation des antennes AM et FM

Avant d’utiliser votre système audio, assurez-vous que les
antennes FM et AM sont placées correctement. L’antenne FM
est la bobine de fil connectée à l’arrière de l’appareil. Assurez­vous de dérouler cette bobine pour l’étaler complètement
(Vous voudrez peut-être même la coller sur le mur à l’arrière
de l’appareil si cela est possible. Le plus haut sera le mieux.)
Vous devrez également connecter la boucle de l’antenne AM à
l’arrière de l’appareil si vous voulez écouter des stations AM.

Préréglages EQ

Appuyez dur le bouton PRESET EQ pour revenir par cycle aux préréglages Flat, Rock, Pop et Jazz. À mesure que vous
faites défiler les préréglages, écoutez attentivement les modifications de la sonorité.

Personnalisation des réglages EQ

Vous préférerez peut-être programmer vos propres réglages. Cette fonction vous permet de régler les fréquences des
basses à un niveau plus plein et plus bas – pour mieux faire ressortir les instruments comme les batterie ou les tambours,
de régler la gamme moyenne pour une meilleure définition des voix ou encore d’accentuer sons les aigus d’instruments
comme les cymbales. Vous pouvez régler les niveaux de –10 à +10 pour chaque réglage EQ (bas, mid, tre).

1. Appuyez et relâchez le bouton PRESET EQ jusqu’à ce que CUSTOM apparaisse.

2. Appuyez sur la flèche vers la gauche ou vers la droite du bouton PRESET pour parcourir les réglages EQ.

3. Lorsque le réglage voulu apparaît, appuyez sur bouton de VOLUME vers le haut ou vers le bas pour régler le
niveau (-10 à +10).

4. Répétez les étapes 2 et 3 pour chaque autre réglage que vous voulez modifier.

Amplification des basses

Pour amplifier encore plus les basses appuyez sur le bouton BASS BOOST.

programmer vous-même le milieu de gamme, les basses et les
aigus selon votre goût personnel.

Utilisation de la télécommande pour les fonctions du lecteur
