If you have an outside VHF TV anten- na, you can use a signal splitter to connect this system and a TV to the same antenna. Your local RadioShack store has a wide selection of antennas and connectors.

CONNECTING POWER

To connect power, after making all other connections, plug your system’s power cord into a standard AC outlet.

Caution: Your system’s power cord has a polarized plug (one blade is wid- er than the other). If you have difficulty inserting the plug into the outlet, do not force it. Turn the plug over and try again.

USING HEADPHONES

To listen without disturbing others, you can connect a pair of 1/8-inch plug ste- reo headphones (not supplied) to the System 740. Your local RadioShack store has a wide selection of stereo headphones.

To connect headphones, plug the headphones’ 1/8-inch plug into the PHONES jack on the front of the Sys- tem 740.

Note: Connecting headphones auto- matically disconnects the System 740’s speakers.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use headphones.

Set the volume to the lowest set- ting before you begin listening. After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable listen- ing level.

Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high- volume listening can lead to per- manent hearing loss.

Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time your ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.
