Connections

Warning!

Use only the supplied speakers. The combination of the main unit and speakers provides the best sound. Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality will be negatively affected.

Never make or change connections with the power switched on.

Connect the AC power cord to the power outlet only after you have finished hooking up everything.

To avoid overheating of the system, a safety circuit has been built in.Therefore, your system may switch to Standby mode automatically under extreme conditions. If this happens, let the system cool down before reusing it (not available for all versions).

Step 1: Connecting FM/AM antennas

ÐPlace the AM loop antenna on a shelf or attach it to a stand or wall.

ÐExtend the FM antenna and fix its ends to the wall.

ÐAdjust the position of the antennas for optimal reception.

ÐPosition the antennas as far as possible from a TV, VCR or other radiation source to prevent unwanted noise.

ÐFor better FM stereo reception, connect external FM antenna.

Step 2: Connecting the speakers
