Setup

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Place the main unit on a stable, level surface with good ventilation. Position the two stereo speakers equidistant from your primary listening position for optimal sound.
2. Speaker Connection
- Identify the speaker terminals on the rear of the main unit (typically color-coded or labeled 'L' for Left and 'R' for Right).
- Connect the speaker wires from each speaker to the corresponding terminals on the main unit. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -) for optimal sound quality.
3. Power Connection
After all audio connections are made, plug the power cord of the main unit into a suitable AC wall outlet.
Operating Instructions
1. Basic Playback (CD/DVD/DivX/Video CD)

- Press the OPEN/CLOSE button on the front panel or remote control to open the disc tray.
- Place a CD, DVD, DivX, or Video CD disc gently into the tray with the label side facing up.

Maintenance
1. Cleaning the Unit
Wipe the exterior surfaces of the main unit and speakers with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes, or solvents as they may damage the finish. For stubborn stains, lightly dampen the cloth with water and then wipe dry immediately.
2. Disc Care
Handle discs by their edges. Keep discs clean and free of scratches. Store discs in their cases when not in use to prevent dust and damage.

- Increase the volume level.
- Ensure the correct input source is selected.
