FCC Information
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation.
In accordance with FCC requirements, changes
or modifications not expressly approved by
Thomson multimedia could void the user’s
authority to operate this product.
This device generates and uses radio frequency
(RF) energy, and if not installed and used
properly, this equipment may cause interference
to radio and television reception.
If this equipment does cause interference to
radio or television reception (which you can
determine by
turning the equipment off and on), try to
correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient the receiving antenna (that is, the
antenna for the radio or television that is
"receiving" the interference).
• Move the unit away from the equipment that
is receiving interference.
• Plug the unit into a different wall outlet so
that the unit and the equipment receiving
interference are on different branch circuits.
If these measures do not eliminate the
interference, please consult your dealer or an
experienced
radio/television technician for additional
suggestions.
Also, the Federal Communications Commission
has prepared a helpful booklet, "How To
Identify and Resolve Radio TV Interference
Problems." This booklet is available from the
U.S. Government Printing Office,
Washington, DC 20402. Please specify
stock number 004-000-00345-4
when ordering copies.
This product complies with DHHS
Rules 21 CFR Subchapter J.
Applicable at the date of manufacture.
For Your Safety
The AC power plug is polarized
(one blade is wider than the
other) and only fits into AC
power outlets one way. If the
plug won’t go into the outlet
completely, turn the plug over
and try to insert it the other way.
If it still won’t fit, contact a qualified electrician
to change the outlet, or use a different one.
Do
not attempt to bypass this safety feature.
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH
WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY
INSERT.

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.
A
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.
