IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit. Follow the safety instructions on the unit and the safety precautions listed below. Keep these operating instructions handy for future reference.

Safety

1. Power sourceConnect the unit to a power source of the type described in these instructions or as marked on the unit. 2. PolarizationThe unit is equipped with a polarized power plug where one blade is wider than the other. This safety feature ensures that the plug fits into your household AC outlet only one way. If the plug doesnt fit one way, try reversing it. If the plug still doesnt fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the plug. 3. Power cord protectionRoute the AC power supply cord so that it will not be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against it. Never take hold of the plug or cord with wet hands. Always grasp the plug body firmly when connecting and disconnecting it. 4. OverloadingWhen connecting the AC power supply cord, be careful not to overload the household AC outlet, extension cord, or outlet from any other device as this can result in fire or electric shock. 5. Nonuse periodsTurn the unit off when it is not in use. Unplug the unit from the household AC outlet if it is not to be used for a long time. Unplug the unit during lightning storms. 6. Attachments and accessoriesUse only the attachments and accessories recommended in these operating instructions.

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. Caution 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.
