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
the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC
20402. Please specify stock number 004-000-00345-4
when ordering copies.
This product complies with DHHS Rules 21 CFR
Subchapter J. Applicable at the date of manufacture.
For Your Safety
The AC power plug is polarized (one
blade is wider than the other) and
only fits into AC power outlets one
way. If the plug won’t go into the
outlet completely, turn the plug over
and try to insert it the other way. If it still won’t fit,
contact a qualified electrician to change the outlet, or
use a different one. Do not attempt to bypass this safety
feature.
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK,
MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE
SLOT, FULLY INSERT.

Installation
To ensure sufficient ventilation, keep the spacing
shown below:
Getting Started

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 AM
loop antenna.
Installing Batteries
The remote control must be inserted with 2
“AAA” batteries prior to use. Follow the steps
below to ensure correct installation.
1. Open the battery compartment door (located at
the back of the remote control) and lift the
door.
2. Change step 2 to read, "Before inserting the
batteries, observe the polarities of the batteries
and the engraved polarity diagram inside the
battery compartment. When inserting the
batteries into the remote control, make sure the
polarities of the batteries match the engraved
polarity diagram inside the battery
compartment." This has a better flow and easier
to follow.
3. After installing the batteries, place the battery
compartment door in place and slide in the
opposite direction of the arrow (the reverse of
step 1).
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.

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.
