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 and such damage is not covered by your
warranty.
NOTE: The system has polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow blade. The plug will
only fit into matching polarized AC outlet.
This is a safety feature to reduce the possibility of electric
shock. If the plug will not fit in your AC outlets, your

have your outdated outlet changed by a qualified, licensed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.

Protect Your Furniture
This model is equipped with non-skid rubber feet to prevent the product from moving when you
operate the controls. These feet are made from 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 everywhere, and apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber feet before you
place the product on fine wooden furniture.
CONNECTING EXTERNAL DEVICES
Connect the external audio equipment to the AUX IN jack on
the front panel or the LINE IN jacks on the rear of the system
as shown below.
This system includes two auxiliary inputs, one on the front labeled "AUX IN" and other at the back
labeled "LINE-IN". These inputs allow you to connect external audio sources and play the audio
through the speakers of the system. You may find it convenient to connect equipment you use
regularly (such as a turntable) to the rear line inputs and equipment you use occasionally (such as
iPod shuffle or another MP3 player) to the front input. If devices are connected at the same time to
both inputs, the front input is automatically selected as the audio source. To listen to the audio from the
rear input you must disconnect the front input.

Connecting a Subwoofer Video Connections
This system includes two video output jacks on the rear panel:
Composite video output labeled “VIDEO OUT”
S-VIDEO output labeled “S-VIDEO OUT”.
These connectors allow you to send the video signal (still images or movies) only from a capable iPod
to a connected TV. Other video output is not supported. Connections are made as below using either
RCA-type or S-VIDEO type cables, not included.
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 into the headphone jack. If the plug is
not fully inserted 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.

Most of the normal CD operations described in this manual also apply to MP3/WMA CDs. However
there are a few differences in MP3/WMA CD playback functions, and these are described on the
following pages.
MP3/WMA CD Reading Time and Display Information
After you load an MP3/WMA CD the player will read each of the directories or albums on the disc,
one at a time, and display the Directory Number and the cumulative number of tracks in the
directories that have already been read.
Because MP3/WMA CDs contain so much more information than normal CDs this CD player will take
longer to read the table of contents information on an MP3/WMA disc.

select album “03”. The track will show “48”
Press the SKIP/TUNING button five times the

The PLAY/PAUSE, SKIP/TUNING , SKIP/TUNING and STOP/BAND controls have
the same functions for MP3/WMA CDs as they do for normal CDs.
Load an MP3/WMA CD into the player. Wait until the reading process is completed.
Example: Let’s assume that you want to skip to Directory # 03/Track # 005.
After reading the disc, the player will play automatically.
