2.Insert the adapter’s plug into the system’s DC 9V INPUT jack.

3.Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

Using Vehicle Battery Power

You can power the system from your vehicle’s battery if the vehicle has a 12-volt DC, negative-ground electri- cal system. This connection requires a DC adapter, such as Cat. No. 270- 1562.

Cautions:

•If you are not sure what type of electrical system your vehicle has, check with the vehicle dealer.

•The adapter must supply 9 volts, its center tip must be set to neg- ative, it must deliver 500 milli- amps, and its plug must correctly fit the DC 9V INPUT jack. The recommended adapter meets these requirements. Using any other adapter could damage the system or the adapter.

Plug the smaller end of the adapter into the DC 9V INPUT jack on the back of the system. Then plug the larger

end into the vehicle’s cigarette-light- er socket.

Caution: To avoid electrical shock and damage to the system and vehi- cle, always unplug the adapter from the cigarette-lighter socket before unplugging it from the system.

CONNECTING

ANOTHER AUDIO

SOURCE

You can connect another audio source (such as a stereo VCR or CD player) to the system so you can sing along with the audio source’s sound. Connect the source’s headphone output jack to the system’s AUX IN- PUT jack.

Note: If your audio source has AUX OUT jacks (such as those found on a stereo VCR or CD player), use a shielded Y-adapter cord with phono plugs on each end (such as Cat. No. 42- 2475). Connect the end with the single plug to the system’s AUX IN- PUT jack and connect the other end’s two phono plugs to the AUX OUT jacks on the audio source.
