The descriptions and characteristics given in this document are given as a general indication and not as a guarantee.
In order to provide the highest quality product possible, we reserve the right to make any improvement or
modification without prior notice. The English version serves as the final reference on all products and operational
details should any discrepancies arise in other languages.
FCC Information
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
Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate this
product.
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.
If this equipment does cause interference to radio
or television reception (which you can determine
by unplugging the unit), try to correct the
interference 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 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.
This product complies with DHHS Rules 21 CFR
Subchapter J. Applicable at the date of
manufacture.
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.
Have a Blast- Just Not in Your
Eardrums
Make sure you turn down the
volume on the unit before you
put on headphones. Increase
the volume to the desired level
only after headphones are in
place.

Safety Precautions
• Never open the cabinet under any
circumstances. Any repair works and internal
adjustments must be conducted by trained
personnel.
• Never operate this product with the cabinet
removed.
•Do not use your unit immediately after
transporting it from a cold place to a warm
place, as condensation may result in
malfunction.
• Keep your unit away from humid areas and
abnormally hot places.
• Do not operate the unit with wet hands. If
any liquid enters the cabinet, take the
unit 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.
• Do not touch the pick-up lens which is located
inside the disc compartment. To keep dust
from collecting on the pick-up lens, do not
leave the compartment door open for an
extended period of time. If the lens becomes
dirty, clean it with a soft brush, or use an air
blower brush designed for camera lenses.
• The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping
or splashing and that no objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the
apparatus.
• Ensure minimum distances around the unit for
sufficient ventilation .
•The ventilation should not be impeded by
covering the ventilation opening with items,
such as newspaper,table-cloths,curtains,etc.
•No naked flame sources,such as lighted
candles,should be placed on the apparatus.
•Attention should be drawn to the
environmental aspects of battery disposal .
Important Battery Information
• Remove the batteries to avoid leakage if you
do not use your remote control for more than
one month.
• Discard leaky batteries immediately as leaking
batteries may cause skin burns or other
personal injuries. Dispose of batteries in the
proper manner, according to provincial and
local regulations.
• Electrolyte leakage may occur on any battery
under the following circumstances:
- if mixed with a different battery type,
- if inserted incorrectly,
- if all batteries are not replaced at the same
time,
- if disposed of in fire, or
- if an attempt is made to charge a battery not
intended to be recharged.
Headphones Safety
•Do not play your headphones at high volume.
Hearing experts warn against extended highvolume play.
• If you experience ringing in your ears, reduce
the volume or discontinue use.
•You should use with extreme caution or
temporarily discontinue use in potentially
hazardous situations.
• Even if your headphones feature an open-air
design that allows you to hear outside sounds,
do not turn the volume so high that you are
unable to hear what is around you.
Don’t Infringe
This product should only be used for the purposes
for which it is sold, that is entertainment without

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 Main Speakers
Each speaker has a black/red wire and a
black/purple wire. When connecting the speakers,
match the red/purple wires to the red/purple
jacks and the black wires to the black jacks on the
main unit.
Subwoofer Connection
Connect the green wire on the subwoofer to the
green terminal and the black wire to the black
terminal of the Subwoofer jack.
