CAUTION:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with-the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio commu-
nications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by tuming the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one of the following measures:
eReodent or relocate the receiving antenna.
elncrease the separation between the equipment and ra-
caiver.
*Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
eConsult the dealer or an experienced radio/IV technician
for help.
FCC Notice: This system complies with new Part 15, except
for the radio receiver, which complies with old Part 15,
Subpart C of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause
undesirable operation. The radio receiver is not subject to
above item (2).
Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment
would void the user's authority to operate this device.

Outdoor Antenna Grounding--If an outside antenna is con-
nected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1990, provides information with re-
spect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size
of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode. See figure below.

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just pur-
chased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to
consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equip-
ment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Associ-
ation's Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of

]
The batteries should be replaced if commands from the remote con-
trol transmitter do not operate the unit even when the transmitter is
held close to the front panel.
For your listening pleasure, keep your speakers from touching the
system.
Speakers are designed identically so that no left or right channel ori-
entation is necessary.
You cannot take the front net off the speakers.
Caution
Use the speakers only with the _recommended
system. Failure to do so may lead to damage to
the amplifier and/or the speakers, and may
result in the risk of fire. Consult a qualified
service person if damage has occurred or if
you experience a sudden change in per-
formance.
