received, including interference 

that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested 

and found to comply with the 

limits for a Class B digital device, 

pursuant to part 15 of the FCC 

Rules. These limits are designed 

to provide reasonable protection 

against harmful interference in 

a residential installation. This 

equipment generates, uses and

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

Each speaker has a red/black 
wire and a purple/black wire. 
When connecting the speakers, 
match the red/black wires to 
the red/black jacks and the purple
/black wires to the purple/black
jacks on the main unit.

Installation

To ensure sufficient ventilation, 
keep the spacing shown below 
free from other surfaces:

Front view

Side view

  B. Do not mix alkaline, standard

(carbon-zinc), or rechargeable 
(NiCd, NiMH,etc) batteries.

Please also ensure that you
connect the wires from the right
speaker to the jacks marked “R”
and that you connect the wires
from the left speaker to the jacks
marked “L”.

•  Do not affi x any type 

of labels to either side 
(recordable or labeled 
side) of a CD-R/RW disc as 
this may result in the unit 
malfunctioning.

•  To avoid damages to the

the disc compartment door 
while the disc is being read.  

•  Do not load an unrecorded 

CD-R/RW disc into the unit. 
This may take a longer time 
to read the disc.

•  Playback capability for CD-

RW discs may vary due to 
variations in the quality of 
the CD-RW disc and the 
recorder used to create the 
disc.

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
