PREPARATIONFORUSE
Unpacking and Set Up
• This carton contains the main unit, two speakers, removable pedestal stands
for main unit and speakers, and the remote control handset. Carefully remove
all the components from the carton and remove all packing materials form the
components. Make sure nothing is accidentally discarded with the packing
materials.
• Save the carton and packing materials, if possible, in the unlikely event that
this unit ever needs to be returned for service. Using the original carton and
packing material is the only way to properly protect the unit from shipping
damage.
• Remove any descriptive stickers or labels from the front panel of the main unit.
Do not remove any labels or stickers that may be affixed to the back panel of
the main unit or the speakers.
• Unwind the AC power cord on the back of the main unit and extend it to its full
length.
• Unwind the FM lead wire antenna on the back of the main unit and extend it to
its full length.
• Unwind the speaker cables on the backs of the speakers and extend them to
their full length.
Placement Of The System
The system should be placed on a stable, level surface such as a table, shelf, or
stand, convenient to a 120V 60HzAC outlet, out of direct sunlight, and away from
sources of excess heat, dust, moisture, or vibration.
The speakers may be separated from the main as far the wires allow for maximum
stereo separation, or they may be placed to the immediate left and right of the
main unit. However to avoid interfering with the operation of the CD door the
speakers should not be placed directly against the main unit.

OPERATINGINSTRUCTIONS
• Make sure that you have fully extended the FM antenna wire.
• Make sure that you have removed the battery spacer from the remote
control handset.
• Make sure that the system is connected to an AC outlet that is always
“live”.
Do not connect the system to an AC outlet controlled by a wall switch.
Remove The Dummy CD Transit Protection Cards
This system was shipped with a “dummy CD” transit protection card in each of the
2 CD players. These cards were inserted to prevent the CD player mechanisms
from moving during shipping and handling. They must be removed and discarded
before you can load your own CDs.After connecting the system to yourAC outlet,
press the STANDBY button to turn the system ‘On’.
Then press the OPEN/CLOSE button to open the CD door. Remove the 2
“dummy CDs” and discard them.
Press the OPEN/CLOSE button to close the CD door.
General Controls
Most of the main functions of this system can be operated by the controls on the
front panel of the main unit, or by the buttons on the remote control handset. If a
specific function can only be operated by the remote handset, or by the front panel
controls, this will be clearly indicated in the instructions.
When operating this system with the remote control handset make sure that the
IR (Infrared) transmitter on the front of the remote handset is pointed at the remote
sensor on the front panel of the main unit. The effective operating range of the
remote control is approximately 15 feet. Please note that bright sunlight or room
lighting may interfere with the remote control operation. If the remote is not operating
properly try reducing the brightness of the room or moving closer to the main unit.
If this does not solve the problem, it may be time to change the remote control
battery.
ES1065_021705.p65 17/2/2005, 15:4115

16
Volume Controls
To increase or decrease the system volume press the VOLUME –or VOLUME +
buttons on the front panel or the remote control.
The Volume Level Indicator will appear on the
display when you change the volume level. The
level indicator ranges from “00” MINimum to “60”
MAXimum.
The system remembers the volume level when the power is switched ‘Off’ and
automatically returns to the same level when the power is switched ‘On’ again.
EQ Button (Electronic Preset Equalizer)
The preset equalizer allows you to adjust the sound characteristic for the most
popular types of music.
Press the EQ button on the front panel or the
remote control to cycle through the following
equalizer settings:
FLAT (EQ ‘Off’), POP, ROCK, JAZZ, or DISCO.
The appropriate EQ indicator appears in the display to confirm your selection. The
system remembers the EQ setting when the power is switched ‘off’ and returns to
the same setting when the power is switched ‘on’ again.
FM ST/MONO Button (Remote Control Only)
If you are listening to a weak or distant FM stereo station you may be able to
improve the reception by pressing the ST/MONO button to select the FM Mono
mode.
The STEREO indicator will go ‘Off’. The reception
will normally improve but the sound will no longer
be in stereo.
ES1065_021705.p65 17/2/2005, 15:4116

17
MUTE Button (Remote Control Only)
Press the MUTE button on the front panel or the remote control to shut off the
speakers temporarily, for example, to answer the telephone.
The sound stops and the MUTE indicator appears in the display.
Press the MUTE button again to cancel the mute function and restore the sound.
The MUTE indicator disappears.
The mute function will also be canceled automatically by pressing the VOLUME –
or VOLUME + buttons.
Stereo Headphone Jack
This system includes a stereo PHONES jack on the front panel of the main unit.
You may connect a set of stereo headphones, not included, to this jack for private
listening without disturbing others.
The main speakers are automatically shut off when headphones are connected to
the PHONES jack. Make sure that the plug from your headphones is fully inserted
intotheheadphone jack. If the plug isnotfullyinserted the sound may be intermittent,
or you may only hear sound from one side of the headphones.
IMPORTANT: To prevent hearing damage always set the volume control to a
low level before you connect the headphones. Then connect the headphones,
put them on, and very gradually increase the volume to a comfortable listening
level. Remember that CDs may contain both very soft and very loud passages.
Adjust the volume to a comfortable level using a louder passage, so that you
always know what the maximum level will be.
ES1065_021705.p65 17/2/2005, 15:4117

18
Setting The Clock
When the system is connected to an AC outlet the time display will show a flashing
“12:00 AM” and the “CLOCK” indicator appears.
This is your indication that the time is incorrect
and needs to be set.
Note: Although it is not necessary to set the clock in order to listen to the radio
or CD player, the clock must be set correctly if you intend to use the timer to
