Getting Started

Using the FM and AM Antennas

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

make sure both the FM and AM 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 AM

antenna loop to the back of the unit if you listen

to AM stations. Rotate the AM 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.

Notes on mp3/WMA Disc:

• Use .mp3 as the extension when converting

audio files into mp3 for saving onto

CD-R(W) or CD-ROM, e.g. Abc08.mp3.

Do not use any other extension e.g. .doc,

.pdf.

• Do not use the .mp3 extension for other

text or non-audio data files as this may

result in serious malfunction and harmful

noise interference.

• For better quality in mp3/WMA disc

playback, the CD quality should be

recorded 128kbps or above.

• Disc data size > 650MB is not

recommended.

• Total files and folders in the disc should

not exceed 250, it also depends on the

length of the file/folder names.

• For mixed mode discs, only one mode will

be selected for playback depending on the

recording format.

• To ensure good performance, wait until

the disc changer completely reads the disc

before proceeding.

• mp3 files in CD ROM EXTRA format disc

cannot be recognized.
