???one remote control;

???one AM loop antenna;

???one user???s guide;

???one Thomson Warranty Card

Back View

1.FM Pigtail Antenna

2.AM Loop Antenna Connector

3.Main Speaker Jacks

Using the FM and AM Antennas

Match the red wire (on the left speaker) to red terminal for the left speaker (L) on the back of the unit and the black wire (on the left speaker ) to the black terminal for left speaker (L). Follow the same procedure to connect the right (R) speaker.

Speaker Wire Connection

NOTE: Make sure the insulation is completely removed from the ends of the speaker wires at all connection points.

Installation

To ensure sufficient ventilation, keep the spacings shown below free from other surfaces:

Before you use your audio system, you???ll want to make sure both the FM and AM antennas are positioned properly. Uncoil the FM antenna at the back of the unit, making sure it is fully extended (you may even want to tape it to the wall behind the unit if possible. The higher the better.) You???ll also need to connect the AM antenna loop to the back of the unit if you listen to AM stations. Rotate the AM loop antenna for better reception.
