Preparing to set up your
system
Unpacking and setup
This system consists of the following
components:
• Tuner/CD player unit
• Amplifier/subwoofer unit
• 2 NXT flat panel speakers
• Remote control
Carefully remove all the components from the
display carton and verify that you have all the
necessary components before you dispose of
the carton.
• Remove all packing materials from the
individual components.
• Remove any descriptive labels that may be
attached to the front panel of the main unit.
• Do not remove any labels or stickers on the
back panels of the main unit or the speakers.
• Remove any small strips of tape that may
have been used to prevent the CD door from
opening in transit.
• Place all the components in the location you
want. This system is designed to be used on
a level, stable, flat surface, such as a table,
desk, shelf, or stand convenient to an AC
outlet, out of direct sunlight, and away from
sources of excess heat, dust, moisture, or
vibration.
• Unwind the AC power cord on the back of the
amplifier/subwoofer unit and extend the cord
to its full length.
• Unwind the lead wire FM antenna on the
back of the tuner/CD player unit and extend it
to its full length.
• The main unit is shipped with a dummy CD
display card in the CD player. This dummy
CD card must be removed before you can
use the CD player. Refer to “Playing CDs” on
page 11.
Power source
This system is designed to operate on 120V AC
60Hz house current only.
Connecting this system to any other power
source may cause damage to the system. This
type of damage is not covered by your warranty.

Remote control
Warning The system uses a polarized AC plug with
one wide blade and one narrow blade. The
plug will only fit into matching polarized AC
outlets. This is a safety feature to reduce the
possibility of electric shock. If the plug will
not fit in your AC outlets, you probably have
outdated, non-polarized outlets. You should
have your outdated outlets changed by a
qualified, licensed electrician. Do not file the
wide blade on the plug or use an adapter to
make the plug fit into your outlet. This
defeats the safety feature and could expose
you to electric shock.
Note The main power switch is located on the
back of the amplifier/subwoofer unit. This
switch must be 'On' for the system to
operate. The main power switch should be
left in the On position at all times. The only
time you should set this switch back to the
Off position is if you will not be using the
system for an extended period of time - for
example, two weeks or longer. The remote
control cannot operate the system if the
main power switch is in the Off position.

Setting up your system
System connections
Connect the tuner/CD player unit and the
amplifier/subwoofer unit with the supplied 9-pin
cable. Attach one end of the cable to the “TO
SUBWOOFER” jack of the tuner/CD player and
attach the other end to the “FROM MAIN” jack of
the amplifier/subwoofer.
Speaker connections
Connect the two NXT flat panel speakers to the
color-coded white “L” and red “R” speaker jacks
on the back of the amplifier/subwoofer unit.
Make sure that the speaker plugs are fully
inserted into the speaker jacks. If the plugs are
loose, the connection may be intermittent.
Auxiliary source connections
You can listen to the sound from external audio
sources through the speakers of this system. To
do this, connect the aux/line/audio output jacks
of the external audio source to the AUX IN jack
at the back panel of amplifier/subwoofer unit.
Examples of external audio sources that can be
connected to this system include cassette
players, mini disc players, or the sound from your
TV, VCR, or DVD player.
Instructions for listening to external audio
sources will be found later in this manual.
Antennas
FM
Make sure the FM lead wire antenna is unwound
and extended to its full length. It may be
necessary to vary the direction of this wire
antenna until you find the position that provides
the best reception for your favorite FM stations.
AM
The AM ferrite bar antenna is inside the tuner/
CD player unit. If AM reception is unsatisfactory,
you may have to turn the main unit slightly until
you find the position that provides the best
reception.
Caution When inserting the DIN cable, the arrows on
the ends of the cable must be aligned with
the arrows on the units. Misalignment may
cause the connectors to fail or damage the
9-pin cable.
RL
Note Connection cables are not included.

Remote control battery
The remote control requires one button-type
3-volt lithium battery (included). To extend the
life of the original battery we have inserted a
small clear plastic spacer tab between the
lithium battery and the battery terminal. You
must remove this spacer tab before you can use
the remote control. To remove the tab, pull it in
the direction of the arrow.
When the operation of the remote control
becomes intermittent or unsatisfactory, replace
the original battery with a new 3-volt lithium
battery.
To replace the battery:
1Press the locking lid of the battery holder to
the left and slide the battery holder out.
2Place one 3V CR2032 battery in the battery
holder, with the positive (+) side up. If the
battery is placed incorrectly the remote
control will not work.
3Insert the battery holder into the battery slot
until it clicks into place.
Protect your furniture
This system is equipped with non-skid rubber
“ feet ” to prevent the system from moving when
you operate the controls. These feet are made of
non-migrating rubber material, specially
formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains
on your furniture. However, certain types of
oil-based furniture polishes, wood preservatives,
or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber feet to
soften and leave marks or a rubber residue on
the furniture. To prevent any damage to your
furniture, we strongly recommend that you
purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available
at hardware stores and home improvement
centers, and apply these pads to the bottom of
the rubber feet before you place the product on
fine wooden furniture.
Note Use a well-known brand of battery for
longest life and best performance. When the
operation of the remote control becomes
intermittent, replace the battery.

Electronic skip protection (ESP)
This player features an Electronic Skip
Protection ( ESP ) circuit that continuously stores
10 seconds of CD music or 40 seconds of MP3
music in an electronic memory. If the main unit is
bumped or shaken no skipping will result,
because the player is reading from the memory
and not directly from the disc. If the shaking
continues for more than 10 seconds, the ESP
memory will be depleted and the player may
then skip or stop if the shaking continues.
The ESP memory function is automatically
activated during playback. The display will show
the flashing ESP indicator and begin to fill up the
memory. The ESP indicator remains on when
the memory is full. If the main unit is bumped or

level controls of this system as necessary.
Resetting
If the system does not respond to either the
remote control or the main unit controls, it may
have experienced a severe electric shock (ESD),
or a power surge, that triggered the internal
computer to shut down automatically. If this
occurs, turn off the main power, then turn on the
main power again after one minute.
Maintenance
Compact disc care
To remove a disc from its storage case, press
down on the center of the case and lift the disc
out, holding it carefully by the edges.
Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped
off the disc's recorded surface with a soft cloth.
Unlike conventional records, compact discs have
no grooves to collect dust and microscopic
debris, so gently wiping with a soft cloth should
remove most particles. Wipe in a straight line
from the inside to the outside of the disc. Small
dust particles and light stains will have
absolutely no effect on reproduction quality.
Clean the disc periodically with a soft, lint-free,
dry cloth. Never use detergents or abrasive
cleaners to clean the disc. If necessary, use a
CD cleaning kit.
Never write on or affix labels to the surface of
compact discs.
Care of the cabinet
If the cabinet becomes dusty wipe it with a soft
dry dust cloth. Do not use any wax, polish
sprays, or abrasive cleaners on the cabinet.
