Unpacking the system:

You should have the following:

• one main unit (with 2 main speakers);

• one remote control;

• one AM loop antenna;

• one FM antenna wire

• one user’s guide;

• One Thomson Warranty Card

Back View

1. AM Loop Antenna Jacks

2. FM Antenna Connector

3. Aux out Connectors

4. Main Speaker Jacks

5. Optical Out Connector

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.
