Setting up the System Placing the system • To enjoy maximum audio performance: -- Place the system across the room from where you listen. -- Place the system within two feet of a wall, and avoid placing directly in a corner. • Place the system on a flat, stable surface. CAUTIONS: • Do not place the system on a metal surface. It could interfere with AM reception. • Do not place the system on a heat-sensitive surface. Like all electrical equipment, it generates some heat. • Do not use the system in a damp location or any other place where moisture can get inside. Connecting to power 1. Insert the small end of the power cord into the AC POWER connector. 2. Plug the power cord into an AC (mains) power outlet. Setting the clock After plugging in the system, set the clock using the remote. 1. Press and hold either Time - or Time + for about one second. Note: Press-and-hold operations require holding the button down for about one second. Initially, HOLD TO SET appears on the display and then quickly changes to - CLOCK SET - as the button is depressed. 2. Release the selected Time button. 3. Press Time - to adjust the displayed time backward or press Time + to adjust the displayed time forward until it matches the current time. You can also press and hold for rapid adjustment. 4. Wait five seconds for the system to exit clock setup mode.
