Unpacking the system

You should have the following:

• one main unit (with 2 main speakers);

• one remote control;

• one user’s guide;

• one Thomson Warranty Card

Back View

1. FM Pigtail Antenna

2. Main Speaker Jacks

Using the Antenna

Before you use your audio system, you’ll want to
make sure the FM antenna is positioned properly.
The FM antenna is the coiled wire connected to
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.)
For better AM reception, move or rotate the unit.

Connecting the Speakers

Match the blue wire (on the left speaker) to blue
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:
