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

When connecting the speakers, match the red
wires to the red jacks and the black wires to the
black jacks. Each speaker has a black and a red
jack, one for positive and one for negative. The
top two jacks are for the left speaker, while the
bottom two jacks are for the right speaker.

Release tab to lock wire in
the terminal.

NOTE:

Make sure the insulation is completely removed from the

ends of the speaker wires at all connection points.

Speaker Wire Connection

Push Speaker terminal tab
down to insert wire.

Maintenance

Disconnect the audio system from the power
source before performing any maintenance.

Cleaning

Clean the exterior of the system using a soft dust
cloth.

CD Player

CAUTION! This system operates with a laser. It
must be opened by only a qualified technician.

Tape Player

To prevent deterioration of sound quality,
periodically open the door of each deck and clean
the magnetic heads, pinch roller, and capstan with
a cotton bud dipped in alcohol. Also,
demagnetize the head by playing a
demagnetizing cassette (available through an
audio equipment store).

To protect recordings on one or both sides of a
tape, remove the corresponding tab. If you later
want to record on the tape, affix a piece of
adhesive tape over the hole.

Quit Slacking - A little bit of
slack in your tapes can cause
scratches on the tape, or worse
yet, the tape could break. If
you notice some slack in the
tape, use a pencil to tighten it
up before you insert it.

Handling CDs

• Do not touch the signal surfaces. Hold CDs by
the edges, or by one edge and the hole. Do not
affix labels or adhesive tapes to the label surfaces.
Do not scratch or damage the label. CDs rotate at
high speeds inside the player. Do not use
damaged (cracked or warped) CDs

Cleaning CDs

• Dirty CDs can cause poor sound quality. Always
keep CDs clean by wiping them gently with a soft
cloth from the inner edge toward the outer
perimeter.
• If a CD becomes dirty, wet a soft cloth in water,
wring it out well, wipe the dirt away gently, and
then remove any water drops with a dry cloth.
• Do not use record cleaning sprays or antistatic
agents on CDs. Also, never clean CDs with
benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents which
may cause damage to disc surface

CD Lens Care

When your CD lens gets dirty it can also cause the
system to output poor sound quality. To clean the
lens you will need to purchase a CD lens cleaner
which can maintain the output sound quality of
your system. For instructions
on cleaning the CD lens, refer to the ones
accompanying the lens cleaner.

More Information

Safety Precautions

• Never open the cabinet under any
circumstances. Any repairs or internal
adjustments should be made only by a trained
technician.
• Never operate this product with the cabinet
removed.
•Do not use your System immediately after
transporting it from a cold place to a warm
place, as condensation may cause the system to
malfunction.
• Keep your unit away from humid areas and
