CONNECTING POWER

Installing Batteries

You can power your system with eight D batteries.  For the best
performance, use alkaline batteries, such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-550.

Follow these steps to install the batteries.

1.  Press the battery compartment cover's tabs in the direction of the
    arrows, and lift off the cover.

2.  Remove the supplied AC power cord from the compartment.

3.  Insert the batteries in the compartment on top of the battery ribbon
    according to the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside the
    compartment.

4.  Replace the cover.

If you are operating the system using battery power and the sound becomes
weak or distorted, replace the batteries.

CAUTION:  To avoid damage from leaking batteries, remove the batteries if
          you do not plan to use the system for a week or more.  Also, do
          not leave batteries in the system if you plan to use AC power
          for an extended period of time.

Using AC Power

You can power the system from a standard AC outlet using the supplied AC
power cord.

Remove the AC power cord from the battery compartment and plug it into a
standard AC outlet.

Using Vehicle's Battery Power

You can also power the system from your vehicle's battery if the vehicle
has a 12-volt DC, negative-ground electrical system.

This connection requires an adapter (Radio Shack Cat. No. 270-1534).

Plug the smaller end of the adapter into the DC 12 V jack on the back of
the system.  Then plug the larger end into the vehicle's cigarette-lighter
socket.

CAUTION:  To avoid electrical shock and damage to the system and vehicle,
          always unplug the adapter from the cigarette-lighter socket
          before unplugging it from the system.

CONNECTING ANOTHER AUDIO SOURCE FOR INPUT

You can connect another audio source (such as a stereo VCR or CD player)
to the system so you can sing along with the audio source's sound.  Connect
the source's stereo audio output jacks to the system's AUX IN R and L
jacks.

NOTE:  If your audio source does not have AUX OUT jacks, but has only a
       headphone output jack (such as is found on a portable tape or CD
       player), use a shielded Y-adapter cord with phono jacks on each end
       (such as Cat. No. 42-2475).  Connect the single-plug end to the
       audio source's headphone jack, and connect the other end's two phono
       plugs to the system's AUX IN R and L jacks.

CONNECTING AN AUDIO COMPONENT TO THE OUTPUT JACKS

You can connect an audio component (such as a PA system amplifier) to the
system's AUX OUT R and L jacks.  The AUX OUT R and L jacks let you hear
the system's sound through the component.

USING THE 5 BAND FREQUENCY EQUALIZER

You can use the 5 band frequency equalizer to customize the sound you hear
through the speaker.  Each of the five controls lets you adjust the volume
in a specific frequency range. Slide the control up to boost, or down to
reduce the level.  If you set the control to the center position (0), the
frequency is unaltered.

100 Hz   - Adjusts the frequencies in the low-bass range (bass drums).
           Reduces rumble or other low-frequency noise.

300 Hz   - Adjusts mid-range low frequencies (organ notes).

1 kHz    - Adjusts the range of frequencies where the ear is most
           sensitive (low vocals).

3.3 KHz  - Adjusts mid-range high frequencies (high vocals).

10 kHz   - Adjusts high-frequency sounds (cymbals, flutes, and violins).
