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 manual

• owner registration card

Back view

1. Main speaker jacks (high pass)

2. Woofer jacks (low pass)

3. AM loop antenna jack

4. FM pigtail antenna

Using 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 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.
