•  One receiver unit
•  One pair of “AAA” batteries
•  One pig-tail antenna wire
• One external AM loop antenna
• One digital in cable (coaxial in)
• One 3.5mm stereo cable for line-in
•  One instruction book
•  One safety leaflet

• One Remote Control

Unpacking The Speakers 

One set of speakers including:
•  One set of left and right front speakers, 
•  One centre speaker, 
•  One subwoofer and 
• One set of left and right rear speakers

Inserting Batteries into Remote
Control 

Insert two “AAA” (R03) batteries according to
the + and - signs in the battery compartment.
To use the remote control, point it directly at
your receiver. 

Install batteries as follows:
1. Remove battery compartment door by 

applying thumb pressure on battery door and 
then lift the door out and off the cabinet.

2. Insert 2 AAA batteries in the compartment 

and replace the compartment door.

Set up and Maintenance of the
Receiver

Provide spaces for sufficient ventilation as
indicated:

•  Do not connect to the AC power cords until 

all connections are completed. 

•  Do not use your set immediately after 

transferring it from a cold place to a warm 
place: there is risk of condensation.

•  Do not expose your set to water and 

excessively high temperatures.

•  After having disconnected your set, clean the 

case with a soft cloth, or with a slightly damp 
leather chamois. Never use strong solvents.

Protect your Components from
Overheating 

•  Do not block ventilation holes in any 

component. Arrange the components so that 
air can circulate freely.

•  Do not stack components directly on top of 

each other.

•  Do not place the unit near other components 

that generate heat such as heating vents.

•  Allow adequate ventilation when placing 

your components in a stand.

•  Place an amplifier near the top shelf of the 

stand so heated air rising from it will not 
affect other components. If you have a 
satellite receiver, you should place it on the 
top shelf.
