Unpacking the system

You should have the following:

• one main unit (with 2 main speakers);

• one remote control;

• one FM antenna;

• one AM loop antenna;

• one user’s guide;

• one Thomson Warranty Card

Back View

1. AM Loop antenna Jacks.

2. FM Antenna Connector.

3. Main Speaker Jacks.

4. Aux In.

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.

Installation

To ensure sufficient ventilation, keep the spacings
shown below free from other surfaces:
