Rack System

Do not connect the system to AC power until you complete all other
connections.

CONNECTING ADDITIONAL SPEAKERS

You can connect one or two speakers (not supplied) for surround-sound.  Be sure each speaker has an impedance of at least 8 ohms.  Your local Radio Shack store has a wide selection of speakers.

SETTING UP THE TURNTABLE

To prepare the turntable for use, you must release the turntable, install
the turntable's adapter, and reset the turntable mechanism.

Releasing the Turntable

With a Phillips' screwdriver, turn the two transit screws clockwise.  turn
the screw at the right corner of the turntable until it is flush with the
surface.  To reach the other screw, rotate the platter clockwise until you
see the screw next to the spindle.  Turn this screw about five turns.

Installing the Adapter

You can position the supplied 45-rpm adapter so you can play 33- or 45-rpm
records.  Install the adapter by lining up the adapter's clips with the
slots in the platter and pressing down.

    For a 33-rpm record, turn the adapter clockwise as you press it over
    the spindle.  The adapter drops down and locks into place.

    For a 45-rpm record, lift the adapter and turn it counterclockwise
    until it locks into place.

CONNECTING THE COMPACT DISC CHANGER

Follow these steps to connect the CD changer to the system.

1.  Plug the CD changer's control cable into the jack labeled FROM CD
    CHANGER on the back of the system.

2.  Plug one of the supplied audio cables into the CD changer's left OUTPUT
    jack and to the system's CD LEFT jack.

3.  Plug the other supplied audio cable into the CD changer's right OUTPUT
    jack and to the system's CD RIGHT jack.

    CAUTION:  Do not place the CD changer on top of the amplifier or any
    other component that emits heat.

CONNECTING THE ANTENNA

When you tune to local AM and FM stations you can use the built-in, high-
quality AM antenna and the supplied indoor FM antenna.  To improve AM
reception, we recommend that you position the system until you hear the
best sound.  For better FM reception, connect an outdoor FM antenna.

NOTE:  The supplied FM antenna is usually adequate for FM reception in
       metropolitan areas.  If FM reception is weak, disconnect the FM
       antenna from the terminal on the back of the system, and connect an
       outdoor antenna to the system.  Use a 300-ohm twin lead for this
       connection.  Your local Radio Shack store carries a complete line of
       outdoor antennas and accessories.

To connect the supplied FM antenna, do the following:

1.  Press down both FM ANTENNA terminal tabs on the back of the system.

2.  Insert the stripped ends of the antenna's wires into the holes and
    release the tabs.

3.  Position the antenna for the best reception.

WARNING:  When installing or removing an outdoor antenna, use extreme
          caution.  If the antenna starts to fall, let it go!  It could
          contact overhead power lines.  If the antenna touches the power
          line, contact with the antenna, mast cable or guy wires can cause
          electrocution and death.  Call the power company to remove the
          antenna.  Do not attempt to do so yourself.

CONNECTING AN AUXILIARY AUDIO SOURCE

You can connect an auxiliary audio source to the system's auxiliary jacks
by inserting the source's left and right audio cables into the AUX LEFT and
RIGHT jacks on the back of the stereo system.

CONNECTING THE POWER

To connect the system to a power source, plug it's AC cord into a standard
household outlet.

INSTALLING THE REMOTE CONTROL'S BATTERY

The remote control requires two AA batteries (not supplied) for power.  We
recommend alkaline batteries, such as Radio Shack's Cat. No. 23-552. 
Follow these steps to install the batteries.

1.  Remove the battery compartment cover by pressing down on the cover's
    tab and sliding the cover off the compartment.

2.  Insert the batteries, observing the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked
    in the compartment.

3.  Replace the compartment cover.

    NOTE:  If the remote control does not work or has poor range, replace
           both batteries.
