About FM Reception
FM signals are like TV signals. One antenna orientation may be best for one station but not for another. The straight
wire antenna supplied with your MicroSystem CD is conveniently small. It should be extended to its full length,
placed as far away from the power cord as possible, and oriented for best reception. If reception is weak, try changing
the position of the wire antenna. Be sure not to run it along the power cord, as this will substantially decrease the
signal reception.
If reception is still weak, you can improve it by connecting an external antenna. Your authorized Boston dealer or
Boston’s Technical Support Department can suggest solutions. In addition, many Cable TV systems provide an FM
feed that can be connected to the MicroSystem CD via its standard Type-F antenna connection. See page 16.
About AM Reception
MicroSystem CD has a built-in AM antenna. If reception is weak, try rotating the system clockwise and
counterclockwise to improve signal strength. If this does not solve the problem, you can improve AM reception by
connecting an external AM antenna. See page 17.
Storing FM and AM stations

You can store any station by holding down any one of the
numbered Preset buttons for 3 seconds until the MicroSystem
CD beeps. The display will show the Preset number. Pressing
its Preset button will recall the station and will turn on the
MicroSystem CD if it is off. Each Preset button can store one
station for AM and another for FM.

CD Player (continued)
MP3/WMA discs
The MicroSystem CD can play CD-R and CD-RW discs encoded with MP3 or WMA
music files. “MP3” or “WMA” will appear in the display when these types of files are
playing. These discs behave differently from standard CDs. When a disc is inserted,
the CD player first must read its directory and number all the tracks. This process may
take up to 20 seconds or more if the disc contains many songs. A flashing “CD” will
show in the display.
Creating MP3/WMA discs on your computer
If a disc is created with a little planning, it can be made more convenient to navigate.
If you group the MP3/WMA song files on your disc in a series of top-level folders with
about 10-20 songs (or one album) in each folder, the MicroSystem CD can be conve-
niently operated like a CD changer from the Remote Control; see “Playing MP3/WMA
discs,” below. Otherwise, you can simply place all your song files at the top level of the
disc or use any other arrangement of files and folders.
Playing MP3/WMA discs
You can navigate MP3/WMA files using the Tune/Track arrow
buttons, just as with standard CD tracks.

To go to the previous or next song file, press the
Tune/Track arrow button.
To move forward or backward within a song, hold down the
Tune/Track arrow button.
The Remote Control has two additional arrow buttons, marked
“MP3 folder.” These jump to the previous or next folder on the
disc. This is a fast and easy way to move through many song files, if
you have created your disc with the songs grouped in top-level fold-
ers as explained above. If so, the MP3 folder buttons act like the
disc change buttons on a CD changer.
The MicroSystem CD assigns and displays a track number for
every song file on the disc, in one continuous series, regardless of
any folders.

Customizing the MicroSystem CD’s output
The MicroSystem CD has a line output which can feed its audio into an external device.
Uniquely, you can program this output to tailor it for use as:
• A fixed-level output that ignores the volume setting (useful for recording or
for feeding the MicroSystem CD’s radio or CD signal to an external receiver
that has its own volume control);
• A variable-level output that responds to the MicroSystem CD’s volume
setting (useful for feeding an external amplifier or powered speaker system
that has no volume control); and
• A subwoofer output that feeds bass to an external powered subwoofer and
simultaneously reduces the bass fed to the MicroSystem CD’s speakers. They
will play louder and will match the subwoofer better.
Note: The subwoofer output is not low-passed. Use the subwoofer’s crossover, set for best blending (about 110Hz).
Programming the line output
Fixed-level: With the unit powered off, press Preset 1 and
Snooze/Sleep together for 5 seconds. “L1” will appear in

Using the Bass trim
The Bass trim knob, located on the back of the unit, is used
Bass trim
to adjust the bass level. When the MicroSystem CD is placed
near a wall, the bass can become more pronounced. Setting
the unit away from a wall can sometimes decrease the bass.
Adjust the Bass trim to achieve the desired amount of bass
output.

Connections (continued)
Connecting the FM antenna
The FM antenna comes attached. If the antenna is disconnected, follow
these steps to connect it:
1. Push the Type F connector plug on the end of the antenna into the
receptacle on the MicroSystem CD marked “FM antenna 75 .”
ȍ
2. Straighten out the antenna to its full length.
3. Orient the antenna wire for the best reception.
Optional: Connecting to a cable TV signal
You may be able to obtain better reception if your cable company offers an FM radio
signal on your TV cable. The MicroSystem CD’s FM antenna connector will accept the
cable FM feed from most cable TV systems that provide FM programming. To connect
your radio to the FM signal available from some cable TV providers, contact your
cable TV company for assistance before making any connection.
Be sure that the installation includes a splitter that filters the signal to
prevent any remission of the TV spectrum through the MicroSystem
CD, so only the FM band, not the cable TV signal, is transmitted to the
MicroSystem CD.
Notice for Cable TV System Installer
Please make note of Article 820-40 of the NEC (of USA) that provides
guidelines for proper grounding. In particular, this standard specifies that the
cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as
close to the point of cable entry as is practical. CAUTION: When making
connections to the rear of the MicroSystem CD, it is possible to experience
an ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) event. If this happens, simply push the
On/off button on the front and recheck the preset settings.
