PREPARATION FOR USE

UNPACKING AND SET UP

  • Carefully remove the main unit and the accessories from the display carton

and remove all the packing material from the unit.

  • Carefully remove any small strips of tape that may have been used to

prevent the CD door from opening in transit.

  • Unwind the AC power cord and extend it to its full length. The FM antenna

is built into the AC power cord.

  • This unit was shipped with a dummy CD transit card in the CD player.

This dummy CD prevents the laser pick up from moving during shipment.

This card must be removed before you can insert your own CDs. Press

on the CD door in the area marked ‘

OPEN

’. Remove the transit card from

the CD player and discard it.

  • Place the unit on a flat, level surface such as a table, desk, counter, shelf,

etc, convenient to a 120V 60Hz AC outlet, out of direct sunlight, and away

from sources of excess heat, dust, moisture, or strong magnet fields.
