FCC Information
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
In accordance with FCC requirements, changes or
modifications not expressly approved by Thomson
multimedia Inc. could void the user’s authority to
operate this product.
This device generates and uses radio frequency (RF)
energy, and if not installed and used properly, this
equipment may cause interference to radio and
television reception.
If this equipment does cause interference to radio or
television reception (which you can determine by
unplugging the unit), try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
• Re-orient the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna
for the radio or television that is "receiving" the
interference).
• Move the unit away from the equipment that is
receiving interference.
• Plug the unit into a different wall outlet so that the
unit and the equipment receiving interference are on
different branch circuits.
If these measures do not eliminate the interference,
please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/
television technician for additional suggestions. Also, the
Federal Communications Commission has prepared a
helpful booklet, "How To Identify and Resolve Radio TV
Interference Problems." This booklet is available from

Using the Antenna
Before you use your audio system, you’ll want to
make sure the FM antenna is positioned properly.
The FM antenna is the coiled wire connected to
the back of the unit. Uncoil it, making sure it is
fully extended (you may even want to tape it to
the wall behind the unit, if possible. The higher,
the better.)
For better AM reception, move or rotate the unit.
Connecting the Speakers
When connecting the speakers, match the red
wires to the red jacks and the black wires to the
black jacks. Each speaker has a black and a red
jack, one for positive and one for negative. The
top two jacks are for the left speaker, while the
bottom two jacks are for the right speaker.

Maintenance
Disconnect the audio system from the power
source before performing any maintenance.
Cleaning
Clean the exterior of the system using a soft dust
cloth.
CD Player
CAUTION! This system operates with a laser. It
must be opened by only a qualified technician.
Tape Player
To prevent deterioration of sound quality,
periodically open the door of each deck and clean
the magnetic heads, pinch roller, and capstan with
a cotton bud dipped in alcohol. Also,
demagnetize the head by playing a
demagnetizing cassette (available through an
audio equipment store).
To protect recordings on one or both sides of a
tape, remove the corresponding tab. If you later
want to record on the tape, affix a piece of
adhesive tape over the hole.
A
Quit Slacking - A little bit of
slack in your tapes can cause
scratches on the tape, or worse
yet, the tape could break. If
you notice some slack in the
tape, use a pencil to tighten it
up before you insert it.
Handling CDs
• Do not touch the signal surfaces. Hold CDs by
the edges, or by one edge and the hole. Do not
affix labels or adhesive tapes to the label surfaces.
Do not scratch or damage the label. CDs rotate at
high speeds inside the player. Do not use
damaged (cracked or warped) CDs
Cleaning CDs
• Dirty CDs can cause poor sound quality. Always
keep CDs clean by wiping them gently with a soft
cloth from the inner edge toward the outer
perimeter.
• If a CD becomes dirty, wet a soft cloth in water,
wring it out well, wipe the dirt away gently, and
then remove any water drops with a dry cloth.
• Do not use record cleaning sprays or antistatic
agents on CDs. Also, never clean CDs with
benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents which
may cause damage to disc surface
CD Lens Care
When your CD lens gets dirty it can also cause the
system to output poor sound quality. To clean the
lens you will need to purchase a CD lens cleaner
which can maintain the output sound quality of
your system. For instructions
on cleaning the CD lens, refer to the ones
accompanying the lens cleaner.
