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 Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate this product.

• Re-orient the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for the radio or television that is "receiving" the 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.

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.

Getting Started

Unpacking the system:

You should have the following:

• one main unit (with 2 main speakers);

• one remote control;

• one AM loop antenna;

• T-Type FM antenna wire;

• one user’s guide;

• one safety leaflet.

• Owner and registration Card

Back View

1. FM Antenna Jacks

2. AM Loop Antenna Connector

3. Auxiliary Connector

4. Main Speaker Jacks

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. Connect the FM antenna to the FM connector on 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. Rotate the AM loop antenna for better reception.

Connecting the Speakers

Match the red wire (on the left speaker) to red terminal for the left speaker (L) on the back of the unit and the black wire (on the left speaker ) to the black terminal for left speaker (L). Follow the same procedure to connect the right (R) speaker.

Getting Started

What’s so special about this audio CD / mp3 disc player?

Besides the traditional audio CDs, this player is meant to play mp3 files encoded on a CD-ROM. You can store up to 12 hours of music on a single disc (at 128kbps).

Creating mp3 CDs requires the use of a computer with a CD-R / CD-RW writer and a music management software (MusicMatch Jukebox recommended). To fully enjoy the functionalities of your mp3 CD player, we recommend you to record your mp3 CD using folders and subfolders.

Go to www.musicmatch.com for the latest MMJB Software.
