AV100 Operation

Preoperational Considerations

Prior to operation, perform the following steps:

1.Remove the protective film from the battery compartment of the remote control.

2.Connect the power and antenna cables to the AV100 as outlined previously.

3.Apply line power to the AV100 by pressing the line power rocker switch on the rear of the unit to the on (I) position; the mode LEDs flash on for 2 seconds and then go out. The AV100 is now in the standby mode.

4.Press the POWER button on the top of the unit or on the remote control to turn the unit on; the last operating mode in effect prior to shutdown is indicated by the blue LED on top of the unit, unless the AV100 is being turned on for the first time.

Note: Despite a low degree of energy consumption in the standby mode, it is recommended that the line switch be set to the off (O) position if the AV100 is not going to be used for a prolonged period.

5.Select an input source using the MODE button.

Note: If an external subwoofer is to be incorporated into the AV100 system, connect the subwoofer to the SUB OUT plug at the rear of the unit using an RCA cable with a male RCA jack.

Set the FM radio to the desired station using the upper tuning knob dial, and adjust the volume to the desired listening level. If headphones are to be used, connect them to the headphones jack ( ) at the front of the unit.

2.AM Operation: With the supplied AM antenna connected to the AM ANTENNA jack at the rear of the unit, press the MODE switch so the blue AM indicator is lit.

If headphones are to be used, connect them to the headphones jack ( ) at the front of the unit.

Using the AUX Inputs

1.AUX 1 Input: If an external audio source is to be used, such as MP3 player, etc., connect the device to the AUX 1 input at the front of the unit using a 3.5mm male stereo plug.
