Listening caution
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 lodustdes Associatlon’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 distodior_–and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive headag.
We recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your heariag “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 equipmentat a safe level BEFORE your heanng adapts. To establish a sate level: · Start your volume control at a low setting. · Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and
cleady, 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 listening for a lifetime.

I Connect the FM indoor antenna.
Tape the antenna to a wall or column, in a positionwhere radio s_jnalsare receivedwith the least amount of interference.

For best reception sound quality: An FM outdoor antenna is recommended. (See page 7.)
2 Connect the AM loop antenna.
After attaching the antenna, turn on the system and tune in a broadcast station. Put the antenna where the receptionis best and interferenceis minima].
3 Connect the speaker cables.
Connect each end of the speaker cables to the terminal lever of the same color so (+) and (-) are correct. Never allow the exposed wires to contact each other when connected. Incorrect connection can damage the unit.

· Use only the supplied speakers.
The combination of the main unit and speakers provide the best sound. Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality will be negatively affected.
