Carefully remove all the components from the display carton and verify that you have all the necessary components before you dispose of the display carton. Remove all packing materials from the individual components. Remove any descriptive labels that may be attached to the front panel of the main unit. Do not remove any labels or stickers on the back panels of the main unit or the speakers. Remove any small strips of tape that may have been used to prevent the CD door from opening in transit. Place all the components in the desired location. This system is designed to be used on level, stable, flat surface such as a table, desk, shelf, or stand, convenient to an AC outlet, out of direct sunlight, and away from sources of excess heat, dust, moisture, or vibration. Unwind the AC power cord on the back of the Amplifier/Subwoofer unit and extend the cord to its full length. Plug the AM/FM antenna to the top of the Tuner/CD Player unit and extend it to its full length. The main unit is shipped with a dummy CD display card in the CD player. This dummy CD card must be removed before you can use the CD player. -3- POWER SOURCE This system is designed to operate on 220V AC 50Hz house current only. Connecting this system to any other power source may cause damage to the system and such damage is not covered by your warranty. NOTE: The system has an AC plug and will only fit into matching AC outlets. This is a safety feature to reduce the possibility of electric shock. If the plug will not fit in your AC outlets, you should have the outlet changed by a qualified, licensed electrician. Do not use an adapter to make the plug fit into your outlet. This defeats the safety feature and could expose you to electric shock. MAIN POWER SWITCH IMPORTANT: The MAIN power SWITCH is located on the side of the main unit. This switch must be ON for the system to operate. The main power switch should be left in the ON position at all times. The only time you should set this switch back to the OFF position is if you will not be using the system for an extended period of time for example, two weeks or longer. The remote controller cannot operate the system if main power switch is in the OFF position. -4- AUXILIARY SOURCE CONNECTIONS You can listen to the sound from external audio sources through the speakers of this system. Connect the Aux/Line/Audio Output Jacks of the external audio source to the AUX IN Jack at the back panel of Tuner/CD unit. Note: Connection cables are not included. Examples of External Audio Sources that can be connected to this system are: Cassette Player, Mini Disc Player, the sound from your TV, VCR, DVD player, etc. Instructions for listening to external audio sources will be found later in this manual. PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE This model is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' to prevent the product from moving when you operate the controls. These 'feet' are made from non-migrating rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your furniture. However certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood preservatives, or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber 'feet' to soften, and leave marks or a rubber residue on the furniture. To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware stores and home improvement centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber 'feet' before you place the product on fine wooden furniture. -5- REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY The remote control requires one button-type 3-volt lithium battery, included. To extend the life of the original battery we have inserted a small clear plastic spacer tab between the lithium battery and the battery terminal. You must remove this battery spacer tab before you can use the remote control. To remove the tab, pull it in the direction of the arrow in the illustration as shown. When the operation of the remote control becomes intermittent or unsatisfactory, replace the original battery with a new 3-volt lithium battery. 1.) Slide out the battery holder from the remote control case. 2.) Place one 3V CR2032 battery in the battery holder, observing the positive (+) direction. If the battery is placed incorrectly the remote control will not work. CAUTION Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type. 3.) Insert the battery holder into the battery slot. Notes: Use a well-known brand of cell battery for longest life and best performance. When the remote operation becomes intermittent, replace the battery. -6- LOCATION OF CONTROLS AND INDICATORS MAIN UNIT FRONT VIEW BACK VIEW -7- TOP VIEW SIDES VIEW -8- 1.) 2.) 3.) 4.) 5.) 6.) 7.) 8.) 9.) 10.) 11.) 12.) 13.) 14.) 15.) 16.) 17.) 18.) 19.) 20.) 21.) 22.) 23.) 24.) 25.) 26.) 27.) 28.)
