Important information

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.
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

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Precations

• This compact disc player uses a

laser to read the music on the
disc. The laser mechanism
corresponds to the cartridge
and stylus of a record player.
Although this product
incorporates a laser pick-up
lens, it is completely safe when
operated according to
directions.

• Discs rotate at high speed

inside the player. Do not use
damaged, warped, or cracked
discs.

• Do not touch the pick-up lens

which is located inside the disc
compartment. To keep dust
from collecting on the pick-up
lens, do not leave the
compartment door open for an
extended period of time. If the
lens becomes dirty, clean it
with a soft brush, or use an air
blower brush designed for
camera lenses.

Headset safety

• Have a Blast-Just Not

in your eardrums!
Make sure you turn
down the volume on
the unit before you put on
headphones. Increase the
volume to the desired level
only after headphone are in
place.

• Do not play your headset at

high volume. Hearing experts
warn against extended high-
volume play.

• If you experience ringing in

your ears, reduce volume or
discontinue use.

• You should use with extreme

caution or temporarily
discontinue use in potentially
hazardous situations.
Even if your headset is an
open-air designed to let you to
hear outside sounds, do not
turn up the volume so high
that you are unable to hear
what is around you.

Getting started

Unpacking the system

You should have the following:
• one main unit (with 2 main

speakers)

• one remote control
• one AM loop antenna
• one user manual

Connections

Back view

1. FM pigtail antenna
2. AM loop antenna jack
3. Main speaker jacks

Using FM and AM antennas

Before you use your audio system,
you’ll want to make sure both the
FM and AM antennas are
positioned properly. Uncoil the
FM antenna at the back of the
unit, 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).

You’ll also need to connect the
AM antenna loop to the back of
the unit if you listen to AM
stations. Rotate the AM loop
antenna for better reception.

Connecting main speakers

Match the red wire (on the left
speaker) to red terminal for the
left speaker (L) on the back of the
unit and the black wire (on the left
speaker ) to the black terminal for
left speaker (L). Follow the same
procedure to connect the right (R)
speaker.
