Unpacking the system

You should have the following:

• one main unit (with 2 main speakers);

• one remote control;

• one user’s guide;

• one safety leaflet;

• owner registration Card.

Unit Back Connections

1. AM Loop antenna Jacks.

2. FM Pigtail Antenna.

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

antenna loop to the back of the unit if you listen
to AM stations. Rotate the AM loop antenna for
better reception.

Connecting the Speakers

Each speaker has a black (negative) and a red
(positive) jack. When connecting the speakers,
match the red wires to the red jacks and the
black wires to the black jacks.
