Getting Started

EN Using the FM and MW Antennas

Before you use your audio system, you’ll want to make sure both the FM and MW 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 MW antenna loop to the back of the unit if you listen to MW stations. Rotate the MW loop antenna for better reception.

Connecting the Speakers

Speaker terminal tabs marked L are for left while R are for right. Each speaker has a black (negative) and a red (positive) wire. When connecting the speakers, match the red wires to the red jacks and the black wires to the black jacks.
