(page 3 - P2)  
Avoid high temperatures, moisture,  
water and dust  
– Do not expose the system, batteries or discs  
to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused  
by heating equipment or direct sunlight). Always  
keep the disc tray closed to avoid getting dust on  
the lens.

Environmental information  
surroundings, making it impossible to play a disc.  
Leave the system in the warm environment until  
the moisture evaporates.  
All unnecessary packaging has been omitted.We  
have tried to make the packaging easy to  
separate into three materials: cardboard (box),  
polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags,  
protective foam sheet).  
Do not block the vents  
– In a cabinet, allows about 10cm (4 inches) of  
free space all around the system for adequate  
ventilation.  
Your system consists of materials which can be  
recycled and reused if disassembled by a  
specialized company. Please observe the local  
regulations regarding the disposal of packaging  
materials, exhausted batteries and old  
equipment.  
Care of disc  
To clean a CD, wipe it in a straight line from  
the center towards the edge using a soft, lint-free  
cloth. Do not use cleaning agents, as they may  
damage the disc!  
– Write only on the printed side of a CDR(W)  
and only with a soft felt-tipped pen.  
– Handle the disc by its edge, do not touch the  
surface.  
Care of the cabinet  
– Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild  
detergent solution. Do not use a solution  
containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasives.  
Finding a suitable location  
– Place the system on a flat, hard, stable surface.  
Built-in safety circuit  
– Under extreme conditions, this system may  
switch to standby mode automatically. If this  
happens, let the system cool down before  
reusing it.  
Power saving  
– This system is designed to use less than 1W  
of electricity when switches to Eco Power  
standby. Disconnect the AC power cord from  
the power outlet when not in use.

WARNING!  
Step 3: Connecting to game  
console  
Use only the supplied speakers. The  
combination of the main unit and  
speakers provide the best sound. Using  
other speakers can damage the unit and  
sound quality will be negatively affected.  
Never make or change connections  
with the power switched on.  
Connect the AC power cord to the  
power outlet only after you have finished  
hooking up everything.  
IMPORTANT!  
Gameport inputs are solely for game  
console only.  
a. Use the game console’s video cable (not  
supplied) to connect its video output to the  
GAMEPORT-VIDEO terminal.  
b. Use the game console’s audio cables (not  
supplied) to connect its audio outputs to the  
GAMEPORT-AUDIO L. / AUDIO R.  
terminals.  
Step 1: Connecting FM/AM  
antennas  
c. Use a video cable (yellow) to connect the  
VIDEO OUT terminal to the video input on  
theTV for viewing.  
– Place the AM loop antenna on a shelf or  
attach it to a stand or wall.  
– Extend the FM antenna and fix its ends to the  
wall.  
– Adjust the position of the antennas for  
optimal reception.  
– Position the antennas as far as possible from a  
TV, VCR or other radiation source to prevent  
unwanted noise.  
Notes:  
– On theTV, the Video Input jack is usually yellow  
and might be labeled A/V In, CVBS, Composite or  
Baseband.  
To avoid magnetic interference, do not position  
the front speakers too close to yourTV.  
– For better FM stereo reception, connect  
external FM antenna.  
Step 4: Connecting the AC  
power cord  
Step 2: Connecting the  
speakers  
"AUTO INSTALL- PRESS PLAY" may appear  
on the display panel when the AC power cord is  
plugged into the power outlet for the first time.  
Press ÉÅ on the main unit to store all available  
radio stations (page 3 - P3) or press Ç to exit  
(refer to “Tuner Operations”).  
Connect the speaker wires to the SPEAKERS  
terminals, right speaker to "R" and left speaker to  
"L", colored (marked) wire to "+" and black  
(unmarked) wire to "-". Fully insert the  
stripped portion of the speaker wire into the  
terminal as shown.  
Notes:  
– Ensure that the speaker cables are correctly  
connected. Improper connections may damage the  
system due to short-circuit.  
– Do not connect more than one speaker to any  
one pair of +/- speaker terminals.
