UNPACK TH E SYSTEM
Unpack your new RS-1247 or RS-1248 audio system and locate all the
accessories. You should have:
• one RS-1247 or RS-1248 main unit;
• one RCARemote Control (CRK291B1);

RS-1248Speakers Remote
Control
Just as moisture can form on the inside of windows on a cold day, it can also
form on the inside of your audio system causing it to malfunction.
If moisture forms inside the system it may not operate properly. In this case
the best thing to do is to disconnect power to the unit and wait about 30
minutes for the moisture to evaporate.
CHOOSING SYSTEM LOCATION
It is recommended to follow these guidelines when setting up your system:
• Choose a solid, level surface. Don't place on surfaces like carpet or foam rubber.
• Choose a location away from direct sunlight, radiator, air ducts and sources of heat.
• Avoid locations subject to moisture, mechanical vibration, shock or excessive dust.
• Ensure that the location isadequately ventillated, as it isessential to protect the
unit from internal heat build-up.
For optimal listening:
• Speakers should be placed at least three feet apart and facing the listener.
• Speakers should be placed away from the wall to avoid accentuated bass response.

SPEAKERS
If you have purchased our RS-1247, your speakers are identical. If you've
selected our RS-1248, you'd find that the physique of the speakers aren't
identical, 10ut placing either one on the right and the other on the left won't
matter.
Though the speakers for the two models are different, their connections are
very much the same. To connect a speaker wire either to the terminals.of a
speaker or the unit, follow these steps:
1. At the back of a speaker or the unit, press and hold the black tab to open
the (-) terminal, fit in the black speaker wire, release hold.
2. Press and hold the red tab to open the (+) terminal, fit in the red speaker
wire, release hold.
3. Repeat steps 1to 2 above for connecting to the speakers and the unit.
+ RIGHT - - LEFT +
÷ & -Terminals at the
back of the unit
ANTENNAS
This unit comes with two antennas: an AM loop antenna and a FM T-type antenna.
Use the same method of connecting speaker wires to hook the AM loop
antenna.To get better reception, try placing it at various locations.
AM Loop
Antenna
As for the FM T-type antenna, it's already attached to the unit, simply extend it
to the full length, then place it at various locations to get clearer reception.
POWER SUPPLY
Plug the power cord into an AC power outlet, be sure to match the wide
blade of the plug to the wide slot of the outlet. If the plug doesn't fit in, try
plugging it the other way, be sure to plug it in completely.
When the unit is off, the STANDBY light comes on showing that the unit is
still plugged to power. To disconnect power completely, unplug the power
cord at the AC power outlet, the STANDBY light goes off.
