INSTALLATION AND SET UP

Now that you’ve chosen a stereo location, it‘s time to hook it up.

SPEAKERS

Each speaker has its own connection terminals on the back of the system, so connect the wires from each speaker to one set of terminals. When connecting the speakers, make sure that the bare end of each wire makes contact with the metal grips inside the terminal. There are connections provided for main and surround speakers The sub-woofer is an RCA type connecton.

For Each Speaker:

1.Press down on the tab to open the red terminal and insert the red wire (+) into the red terminal.

2.Press down on the tab to open the black terminal and insert the black wire (–) into the black terminal.

ANTENNAS

The AM and FM wire antennas connect to the FM ANTENNA terminals and AM terminal on the system’s back panel, and must be connected for clear reception. Connect the antenna wires the same way you connect the speakers.

After connecting the antennas, extend them to their full length; then you can adjust their position for better reception when you are listening to the radio.

AUXILIARY COMPONENTS

Use the VIDEO input jacks on the back of the system to add a component that provides an additional source of sound into your system (VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2)— additional VCRs, camcorders, or other compatible devices.

To hook up an auxiliary component, match the left and right output plugs from the component to the left (L) and right (R) VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2 input jacks on the back panel.

AC POWER

Plug the power cord into an AC power outlet that accepts the polarized plug (one blade wider than the other).

Notice that the Standby Indicator Light comes on to let you know that the system is plugged in and ready to use. This light stays on as long as the stereo is plugged in, so that you can use the remote control to turn on and operate the system.

HEADPHONES

To listen to your stereo with headphones (not included), use the 1/4“ PHONES jack on the front of the system.

WARNING:

Be sure to follow these instructions carefully; the system can be damaged if speakers are improperly connected.
