Connecting the Speakers

When connecting the speakers, match the red wires to the red jacks and the black wires to the black jacks. Each speaker has a black and a red jack, one for positive and one for negative. The top two jacks are for the right speaker, while the bottom two jacks are for the left speaker.

Using the FM and AM Antennas

EQ Presets

Press the PRESET EQ button to cycle through the Flat, Rock, Pop, and Jazz presets. As you cycle through the presets, listen carefully to how the sound changes.

Customizing the EQ Settings

You may find that customizing your EQ settings may work best for you. This feature allows you to adjust the bass frequency for a fuller, deeper sound from bass-producing instruments, such as drums; the mid-range for more defined vocals; and the treble for higher frequencies, such as cymbals. You can set the levels from -10 to +10 for each EQ setting (bas, mid, tre).

Before you use your audio system, you’ll want to make sure both the FM and AM antennas are positioned properly. The FM antenna is the coiled wire connected to the back of the unit. Uncoil it, 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 AM antenna loop to the back of the unit if you listen to AM stations.

1.Press and release the PRESET EQ button until CUSTOM is displayed.

2.Press the PRESET left or right button to cycle through the EQ settings.

3.While the desired setting is displayed, press the VOLUME up or down button to set the level (-10 to +10).

4.Repeat steps 2-3 for any other settings you want to adjust.

Bass Boost

For even more bass, press the BASS BOOST button.
