DEAR JENSEN® CUSTOMER

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

• Set the dial and leave it there.
  Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you to listen for a lifetime.

We Want You Listening For a Lifetime
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.
Customer’s Record:
The serial number of this product is found on its back cover. You should note the serial number of this unit in the space provided as a permanent record of your purchase to aid in identification in the event of theft or loss.

GETTING START

SPEAKER CONNECTION

1. Insert the speaker cable ends (exposed wires) into the terminals located on the back of the main unit by pushing down the lever of the left speaker terminal and then the right speaker terminal
2. Connect the left speaker to the left speaker terminals with the red wire to L + and the black wire to L -.
3. Connect the right speaker to the right speaker terminals with the red wire to R+ and the black wire to R -.

NOTE:
Make sure that the power is turned off when connecting or disconnecting the speakers.
Make sure that the speakers are connected to the correct terminals.
CONNECTING THE AC POWER CORD
After connecting the speakers unwind the AC power cord fully and connect it to any convenient household 120V- 60Hz AC outlet.
NOTE:
The product is designed to operate on normal 120V- 60Hz AC only. Connecting this system to any other power supply could result in damage to the unit which is not covered by your warranty. You will note that this system is equipped with a polarized AC power plug having one blade wider than the other. This is a safety feature.
If this plug does not fit into your existing AC outlet, do not try to defeat this safety feature by filling the wide blade to make it fit into your outlet. If this plug will not fit into your outlet, you probably have an outdated non- polarized AC outlet. You should have your outlet changed by a qualified licensed electrician.

CARE AND MAINTAIN ENCE

1. Do not subject the unit to excessive force, shock, dust, or extreme temperatures.
2. Do not tamper with the internal components of the unit.
3. Clean the unit with a dry cloth. Solvents or detergents should never be used.
4. Avoid leaving the unit in direct sunlight or in hot, humid, or dusty places.
5. Keep the unit away from heating appliances and sources of electrical noise such as fluorescent lamps or motors.

CASSETTE CARE
Two common causes of trouble experienced when using cassettes are:

1. Tape Jamming – Leading to uneven speed in playback, and
2. Tape Tangling — Where the tape wraps itself around internal parts of the mechanism.

To reduce the likelihood of these problems occurring, the following precautions should be observed:

• Check that there are no loose layers of tape visible through the cassette center window (see Fig. 1).
  Take up any loose layers, using a pencil or hexagonal barrelled ballpoint pen, before inserting the cassette into the machine (see Fig.2)

• If the cassette feels tight while performing the operation shown (see Fig.2), the tape may be jamming due to ridges formed in the winding of the tape (visible through the center window). These may be removed, in most cases, by the fast winding of the cassette from one end to the other and back again.

• Use only well-known brands of tape. Avoid the use of C-120 cassettes.

Furthermore, do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, dust, or oil, and do not touch the tape surfaces.
RECORD CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To ensure the best sound and the least amount of wear on your records, it’s essential that they are kept clean. Make sure your records, especially older ones, are sufficiently cleaned prior to playing them.
Thoroughly clean the dust off the stylus and record regularly.

• Use a soft brush to clean the stylus. Brush from the base to the tip as shown below.
  CLEAN STYLUS WITH A SOFT BRUSH
  

• For records with only light amounts of dust, we recommend brushing them off with a carbon fiber brush or velvet pad before playing them. Use a good quality record cleaner and brush set to keep your records clean. Carbon fiber brushes, velvet pads, and record cleaning kits are available online or in local record stores.
  

• Using mild dish soap and warm water for washing your records will also help remove excess dirt and dust that builds up over the years. Use a microfiber cloth when washing and wiping off any excess water from the records once they have been cleaned

NOTE:
Remember, the best cleaning in the world just removes all the dust and dirt. Some records will have scratches and groove wear. No amount of cleaning will fix this. So after cleaning, some records may sound “perfect” and others may not
COMPACT DISC CARE

• Handle the disc only by its edges. Never allow your fingers to come in contact with the shiny, unprinted side of the disc.
• Do not attach adhesive tape, stickers, etc., to the disc label.
• Clean the disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents or adhesive cleaners to clean the disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.
• If the disc skips or gets stuck on a section of the disc, it is probably dirty or damaged (scratched).
• When cleaning the disc, wipe in straight lines from the center of the disc to the edge of the disc. Never wipe in circular motions.
• To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc outs, holding it carefully by the edges.
• Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc’s recorded surface with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional records. compact discs have no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris so gently wiping with a soft cloth should remove most particles.

CLEANING THE UNIT

• To prevent fire or shock hazards, disconnect your unit from the AC power source when cleaning.
• The finish on the unit may be cleaned with a dust cloth and cared for as other furniture, Use caution when cleaning and wiping the plastic parts.
• If the cabinet becomes dusty wipe it with a soft dry dust cloth. Do not use any wax or polish sprays on the cabinet.
• If the front panel becomes dirty or smudged with fingerprints it may be cleaned with a soft cloth slightly dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Never use abrasive cloths or polishes as these will damage the finish of your unit.

CAUTION: Never allow any water or other liquids to get inside the unit while cleaning.
