PREPARATION FOR USE
Unpacking And Set Up
- Remove the main unit, the speakers, and the remote control unit from the display carton. Remove all packing materials from the components. We recommend that you save the original carton and packing material if possible, in the event that your system even needs to be returned for service. Using the original carton and packing materials is the only way to protect your system from shipping damage.
- Press on the CD door in the area marked OPEN/CLOSE to open the door. Remove the "dummy CD" transit protection card from the CD player and discard it.
- Unwind the AC power cord and extend it to its full length.
- Unwind the external FM wire antenna and extend it to its full length.
- Remove the twist-ties from the speaker wires.
Placement of the System
The system should be placed on a stable, level surface such as a table, desk, or shelf, convenient to an AC outlet, away from direct sunlight, and sources of excess heat, dust, moisture, humidity, vibration, or strong magnetic fields.
The speakers may be placed next to the main unit or as far apart as the speaker wires allow. We recommend that you leave a gap of approximately 1/2 inch between the main unit and the speakers so that any vibration from the speakers will not interfere with the CD player in the main unit.
Connecting the Speakers
Place the speakers on either side of the main unit.
Connect the speaker on the left side of the main unit to the "L" speaker jack on the back panel.
Connect the speaker on the right side of the main unit to the "R" speaker jack on the back panel.
Make sure that the plugs on the speaker wires are fully inserted into the speaker jacks on the back panel of the main unit.

Remote Control Battery
The remote control operates on one 3-volt lithium battery, type CR2025 or equivalent, included.
To insure that the battery is fresh the first time you use your system we have placed plastic spacer between the battery and the battery terminal. You must remove this spacer before using the remote for the first time.
To remove the spacer, pull on the small tab that is extending outside the battery compartment as shown.

Remote Control Operation
The main functions of this system can be operated by pressing the controls on the front panel of the main unit, or by pressing the corresponding buttons on the remote control.
You should point the remote control at the remote sensor on the front panel. The effective operating range of the remote control is approximately 15 feet.
Please note that bright sunlight can interfere with the operation of the remote control. If the remote operation is unsatisfactory, try darkening the room before changing the remote battery. The battery should last at least 12 months or longer under normal operating conditions.




Changing The Lithium Battery
When the operation of the remote becomes intermittent or the main unit no longer responds to the remote commands, it is probably time to change the remote battery.
Open the battery compartment by squeezing the battery compartment locking tab as shown and slide the battery holder out of the battery compartment.


Remove the exhausted battery and install a fresh CR2025 battery in the battery holder with the “+” facing up as shown, then slide the battery holder back into the battery compartment.

Power Source
This system is designed to operate on 120V AC 60Hz 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 polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow blade. The plug will only fit into matching polarized AC outlets.
This is a safety feature to reduce the possibility of electric shock. If the plug will not fit in your AC outlet, you probably have an outdated non-polarized outlet. You should have your outdated outlet changed by a qualified, licensed electrician. Do not file the wide blade on the plug, or use an adapter to make the plug fit into your outlet. This defeats the safety feature and could expose you to electric shock.

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.

natural_image
Line drawing of a hand holding a circular object with concentric rings (no text or symbols)- Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc's recorded surface with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional records, compact discs have no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping with a soft cloth should remove most particles. Wipe in a straight line from the inside to the outside of the disc. Small dust particles and light stains will have absolutely no effect on reproduction quality.
