Remote Control Operation

Batteries

Before using the remote control for the first time, insert two AAA (UM-4, IEC R03)-type high-quality batteries, as shown in the diagrams below. Be sure to observe correct battery polarity (+ and -), as installing the batteries incorrectly may damage the remote. Do not use different types of batteries together, and do not mix old ones with new ones.

Open the battery cover

  • When you are not going to use your System for an extended period of time, such as when you go on vacation, remove the batteries to prevent possible electrolyte leakage.
    • After a period of time, when the remote control fails to operate accurately at maximum distance from the unit (23 feet, or 7 meters), replace the dead batteries with new ones.

Using the Remote Control
Approx. 23 ft. (7m) 30° 30°

Control Range

The remote control device is designed for a maximum range of 23 feet (7 meters).

NOTE:

Strong light or obstacles between the remote control device and the main unit may interfere with the operation of the remote control.

GETTING STARTED Connections

External Sources

Two RCA-type jacks marked AUX 1 and AUX 2 are provided. The front input jacks (AUX 1/MP3) should be used for temporary connections, such as an MP3 player, MiniDisc (MD) player, video camera or video game. The rear input jacks (AUX 2) should be used for longer-term connections, such as a VCR or CD Recorder.

Figure 1

Digital Outputs

A front panel Optical 25 and a rear panel Coaxial ● Digital Output are provided. The front Optical Digital Output is intended for temporary connection of an MD recorder or any other portable device that has a digital input. The rear Coaxial Output should be used for more permanent hookups, such as a CD recorder, MD recorder, high-end computer sound card with digital inputs or MP3 encoder. Neither optical nor coaxial cables are supplied with this product and, if not included with the connecting unit, should be purchased separately.

To use the Optical Digital Output, remove the dust protection cap from the connector and firmly connect an optical digital cable (not supplied) so that the shapes of both the cable and the connector match. Keep the dust protection cap in a safe place, and always re-attach the cap when not using the connector to prevent dust from entering the connector.

Loudspeakers

Be sure to turn Power ① ① off before connecting the loudspeakers.

In these instructions, the "right speaker" and "left speaker" refer to the speakers as viewed from the listening position.

Speakers and electronics have corresponding (+) and (−) terminals. LG has used red to denote the (+) terminal and speaker wire, and black for the (−) terminal and speaker wire. It is important to connect both speakers identically: (+) on the speaker to (+) on the main unit, and (−) on the speaker to (−) on the main unit. Wiring “out of phase” results in thin sound, weak bass and a poor stereo image.

Insert the bare end of the red (+) wire of the right speaker into the red (+) terminal on the main unit that is marked R ●. Insert the bare end of the black (−) wire of the right speaker into the black (−) terminal on the main unit that is marked R ●. Follow the same procedure to connect the wires from the left speaker to the terminals on the main unit that are marked L ●.

Using Your System With an External Powered Subwoofer

The KR-2200A feature a Subwoofer Output jack ● that can be used with any unit powered subwoofer recommended by your unit dealer. The addition of a powered subwoofer dramatically extends and improves your system's bass response, and is highly recommended either at the time of initial purchase or as a future upgrade. Using a single RCA cable (not included), connect the subwoofer output to the L or R input of the powered subwoofer (the use of a Y-cable is not necessary but is OK). Set the main unit to a normal listening level, and adjust the level, frequency and phase controls on the powered subwoofer as directed in the subwoofer's owner's manual.

GETTING STARTED

Each time the Boost button 15 is pressed, the tone changes as follows:

LG FFH-2020A - Boost - 1

Auto Function Select System This system allows you to automatically switch sources by selecting a function associated with the new source in a single step, without having to press an input or source select button. That is, if, for example, the radio is playing and you wish to switch to playing a CD, you need only press the Disc 1 button ●, and the unit will automatically switch to CD mode, where the various function buttons will affect the CD changer rather than the tuner. (You can open the disc tray to change discs without affecting the tuner operation.) This applies for the following sources and functions:

  1. Using the remote control

Tuner: Preset ▲/▼ buttons 4

CD: Play/Pause ▶ button 16

Tape: Forward ◀ and Reverse ▶

CD: Disc Direct Play buttons

(DISC 1, 2, 3) ● ● ●

Volume Adjustment

Turn the Volume knob 11 clockwise to increase the sound level, or counterclockwise to decrease it. If you turn the volume up above the maximum level, the volume level flashes in the display. This is a warning to lower the volume in order to prevent possible damage to your loudspeakers. You may also adjust the volume by pressing the Volume Up or Down buttons 26 on the remote control.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound. What sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by choosing a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To Establish a Safe Level:

  • Start your volume control at a low setting.
  • Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably, clearly and without distortion.
    Once You Have Established a Comfortable Sound Level:

- Do not exceed that level.

Taking a moment to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

VM Ax®

VM Ax is proprietary technology that creates an ambient, simulated surround-sound stage from a stereo signal or Dolby® Pro Logic®-encoded material using only two loudspeakers. It can be used with music and movies to create a more enveloping sound. Press the VM Ax button on either the main unit 14 or the remote 23 to activate or deactivate the VM Ax mode. The VM Ax indicator on the display ● will be lit when VM Ax is active. In order to maximize the effect, the listener should be approximately 3m in front of the imaginary line between the two speakers, facing the speakers. The speakers should be facing the same direction, and should be placed even with each other. If used in a video application, the speakers should be to the right and the left of the screen, following all the other guidelines above. Please note that speakers are not shielded, and if placed too close to the screen may cause interference and degradation of the picture.

RDS (Radio Data System) Reception - OPTIONAL

What is RDS?

RDS (Radio Data System) is a system gradually being introduced on FM in many countries, whereby an inaudible stream of data is transmitted in addition to the normal radio signal. The data appears as text in the front panel Information Display ③. This data can contain various types of information, including station identification, traffic and weather information and a list of alternative frequencies for the radio station being received.

  1. Press the Tuner/Band button ● 3 to select FM. RDS is not available on the AM band.
  2. Tune in the desired station as described above.
  3. When an RDS transmission is received, the display shows the station name and the RDS indicator 26 lights.
  4. To return to a display of the station frequency, press the Set/Station button ⑤.

Notes:

• RDS is only available for FM Reception.
- The station name is displayed automatically when an RDS station is received. However, if the signal is not strong enough, it may be possible to receive the audio signal without any RDS data.
- When an RDS station is first tuned in, the station name or other RDS information may be garbled for a few seconds while unit processes the signal. This is normal, and the correct information will appear automatically within a few seconds.

Your system will play discs displaying the Compact Disc Digital Audio logo 📄. It will also play properly finalized CD-R discs. The unit is not able to play CD-RW, DVD, Video CD, computer data discs, or any other type of disc except CD or CD-R, as noted above.
