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,

If this equipment does cause interference to radio or
television reception (which you can determine by

one or more of the following measures:

• 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

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

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.

CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH
WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY
INSERT.

Getting Started

Unpacking the system:

You should have the following:

• one main unit (with 2 main speakers);

• one remote control;

• one AM loop antenna;

• one user’s guide;

• one safety leaflet.

• Owner registration Card

Back View

1. FM Pigtail Antenna

2. AM Loop Antenna Connector

3. 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. Uncoil the FM antenna at the back of the unit, 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.
