UNPACKING and SET UP

Carefully remove the components and any accessories from the shipping
carton.  We suggest that you save the shipping carton for future use.

Place the components on a stable, level surface close to an AC outlet, out
of direct sunlight, and away from sources of excess dust dirt, heat,
water, moisture, vibration, and strong magnetic fields.

Do not block the ventilation holes on the back cabinet.

CD DRAWER TRANSIT LOCK

IMPORTANT!  The CD drawer has been locked in the closed position to
            prevent damage in transit.  The CD drawer transit lock is
            located on the bottom of the system and you should remove it
            before connecting the system to AC power.  Carefully place the
            system on its side to expose the bottom cabinet.  Turn the red
            plastic transit lock clockwise and remove it from the bottom
            cabinet.  Return the system to its normal upright position.

NOTE:       Save the transit lock in case the system ever needs to be
            packed for shipment again.  To lock the drawer again, insert
            the transit lock key into the "keyhole" on the bottom cabinet
            and turn it counter-clockwise.

ANTENNA CONNECTION

This system has an FM antenna built into its AC power cord.  In most
areas, this antenna gives acceptable reception of all strong, local
stations.  However, for best reception in rural areas or for weak or
distant stations, you must use an external antenna.  We supplied an FM
dipole antenna with the system.  You can also connect an outdoor antenna. 
To connect the antenna, first loosen the FM antenna screws and remove the
wire connecting the built-in antenna.  Then connect the dipole or outdoor
antenna.

SPEAKER CONNECTION

The speakers supplied with this system have an impedance rating of 8 ohms. 
If you use speakers other than those supplied they should also have an
impedance rating of 8 ohms.

Unwind the speaker wires and plug the speaker wires' plugs into the
speaker jacks on the back panel until the jack is completely covered by
the plug.  For best stereo sound the speakers should be placed 5 to 10
feet apart, facing the listener, and as close to ear level as possible.

AUXILIARY SOURCE CONNECTION

This system has AUX/PH jacks on the back panel for connection of an
optional external CD player, another tape deck, phonograph, or the audio
out jacks of a TV or VCR.  Connect the left and right output jacks of your
auxiliary device to the left and right AUX/PH jacks on the back panel.

AC POWER SUPPLY

After you connect the FM antenna and speakers as described above and
remove the CD drawer transit lock, you can connect the system to a 110
120V AC 60Hz Household outlet.  Unwind the power cord completely and
extend it to its full length before you connect to the AC outlet.

CD TURNTABLE TRANSIT LOCK REMOVAL

IMPORTANT!  The CD turntable has been locked in place to prevent damage in
            transit.  You must remove the transit locks before operating
            the CD player.

Proceed as follows:

1.  Set FUNCTION to CD/AUX.

2.  Press POWER to turn on the system.

3.  Press the CD drawer OPEN/CLOSE button to open the CD drawer.  You will
    see two round, red plastic transit locks in the left and right CD
    pockets.

4.  Turn the two transit locks clockwise about one-quarter turn and lift
    them off the platter to remove them.  Save the transit locks for
    possible future use.  Remove the paper CD Transit Lock Warning label
    and discard it.

5.  Press OPEN/CLOSE to close the CD drawer.

REMOTE CONTROL PREPARATION

Open the battery door on the back of the remote control and insert two AAA
batteries, with correct polarity as indicated by the polarity symbols ( +
and -) marked inside.  For best operation and longest life, we recommend
you use alkaline batteries, such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-555.  Replace
the battery door.

For your convenience, there is a built-in Remote Control Storage
Compartment in the center of the front panel.  Push and release the door. 
The storage drawer opens slowly.  Insert the remote control in the drawer
and push the door to close the compartment.
