OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS SPEAKER CONNECTION Connect each speaker to the corresponding speaker terminals on the back panel of the main unit. Make sure that the left speaker is connected to the left pair of speaker terminals and the right speaker to the right pair of speaker terminals. Also make sure that the speaker wires are correctly connected: that the red wires are connected to the red terminals and the black wires to the black terminals.
LISTENING TO RADIO TUNER INFORMATION This system features a normal AM/FM analog tuning system. Unlike a digital tuner it does not automatically lock in on the exact frequency of a station. However instead of a dial scale and a moving dial pointer we have included a digital frequency display to help you tune more accurately. Do not be concerned if you cannot easily tune the display to the exact frequency of your favorite stations, especially on the AM band.
4.) Rotate the tuning control until the exact frequency of the desired station appears on the display. If you have tuned to an FM Stereo station and the Band selector is set to FM FM ST, the stereo indicator will appear in the display. Note: If you are listening to a weak or distant FM Stereo station and reception fades or is noisy, setting the Band selector to the FM position will normally provide some improvement. However the sound will no longer be in stereo. 5.
