Getting Started

Using the FM and MW Antennas

Before you use your audio system, you’ll want to

make sure both the FM and MW antennas are

positioned properly. Uncoil the FM antenna at

the back of the unit, 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.) You’ll also need to connect the MW

antenna loop to the back of the unit if you listen

to MW stations. Rotate the MW loop antenna for

better reception.

Connecting the Speakers

Speaker terminal tabs marked L are for left while

R are for right. Each speaker has a black

(negative) and a red (positive) wire. When

connecting the speakers, match the red wires to

the red jacks and the black wires to the black

jacks.

Installation

To ensure sufficient ventilation, keep the spacings

shown below free from other surfaces:
