To prevent possible damage to your speakers and other components in your audio system, it is important that ALL components, including the FL8350 and receivers are turned off and unplugged from their AC power source when installing any new component.

Connecting the FL8350 to your audio system is simple. Using standard RCA- to-RCA interconnect cords, connect the left and right Fixed Audio Output jacks ° on the rear panel to the CD input jacks on your receiver, surround processor or preamplifier.

If your system includes an optional, external digital-to-analog converter, or if you are using a receiver or other pro- cessor that has the capability to decode PCM digital input signals, connect the Coaxial Digital Output jack ª to the Datastream Digital input on the decoder. Make certain to use a coaxial- style interconnect cable, as standard audio cables will not perform as well.

Install the two AA batteries supplied with the FL8350’s remote by turning the remote over so that you are holding the bottom side up. Press lightly on the embossed arrow on the cover, and gently slide the cover towards you in the direction of the arrow. Insert the batteries inside the com- partment, being careful to follow the + and – polarity indications at the bottom of the compartment. Replace the cover by placing it on the remote and sliding it back towards the top of the remote.

NOTE: When replacing batteries it is always a good idea to replace both at the same time. When the unit will not be used for an extended period of time, it is also a good idea to remove the batteries so that the potential for corrosion or damage is avoided.

Connect the power to a non-switched AC wall outlet, or to the accessory outlet on the rear of another audio device in your system and you are ready to go!

NOTE: When using the accessory outlet on another product to power the FL8350 make certain that it has the ability to power a device that draws at least 20 watts of current in addition to the requirements of other devices that may be plugged into the accessory outlets. If you use a “switched” outlet, it is impor- tant to remember that the host product must be turned on in order for the FL8350 to operate.
