WARNING:
Be sure to follow these instructions
carefully; the system can be damaged
if speakers are improperly connected.
Installation and Set Up
Now that you’ve chosen a stereo location, it‘s time to hook
it up.
Speakers
Each speaker has its own connection terminals on the back
of the system, so connect the wires from each speaker to
one set of terminals. When connecting the speakers, make
sure that the bare end of each wire makes contact with the
metal grips inside the terminal. There are connections
provided for main and surround speakers The sub-woofer is
an RCA type connecton.
For Each Speaker:
1. Press down on the tab to open the red terminal and
insert the red wire (+) into the red terminal.
2. Press down on the tab to open the black terminal and
insert the black wire (–) into the black terminal.
Antennas
The AM and FM wire antennas connect to the FM ANTENNA
terminals and AM terminal on the system’s back panel, and
must be connected for clear reception. Connect the antenna
wires the same way you connect the speakers.
After connecting the antennas, extend them to their full
length; then you can adjust their position for better
reception when you are listening to the radio.
Auxiliary Components
Use the VIDEO input jacks on the back of the system to add
a component that provides an additional source of sound
into your system (VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2)— additional VCRs,
camcorders, or other compatible devices.
To hook up an auxiliary component, match the left and
right output plugs from the component to the left (L) and
right (R) VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2 input jacks on the back panel.
AC Power
Plug the power cord into an AC power outlet that accepts
the polarized plug (one blade wider than the other).
Notice that the Standby Indicator Light comes on to let you
know that the system is plugged in and ready to use. This
light stays on as long as the stereo is plugged in, so that
you can use the remote control to turn on and operate the
system.
Headphones
To listen to your stereo with headphones (not included), use
the
1 / 4
“ PHONES jack on the front of the system.
