Before Using the CD Receiver Using the Included Floor Pads for speakers (CS-245DAB only) You can improve the sound quality by attaching the included floor pads to raise the speakers off the surface and reduce the contact area. The floor pads also make the speakers stable and prevent them from slipping. Replacing the Battery Use only a battery of the same type (CR2025). Firmly insert a thin stick or similar object into the hole, and pull out firmly in the direction of the arrow.
Disc (Audio CD and MP3) and USB Flash Drive (MP3) Notes Precautions for Playback Playback from USB Flash Drives Compact discs (CDs) with the following logo on the label surface can be used. Do not use discs designed for purposes other than audio, such as CD-ROMs for PC use. Abnormal noise could damage the CD receiver. MP3 files recorded on a USB flash drive can be played with the CD receiver. • USB flash drives formatted in FAT16 or FAT32 are supported. • Only MP3 files with the extension “.MP3” or “.
Disc (Audio CD and MP3) and USB Flash Drive (MP3) Notes—Continued Precautions for Inkjet Printable Discs Do not leave a CD-R/CD-RW having a label printed with an inkjet printer in the CD receiver for a long time. The disc could get stuck in the CD receiver, or could damage the CD receiver. Remove the disc from the CD receiver when not being played, and store it in a case. A freshly printed disc will stick easily, and should not be played immediately.
Connecting Speakers Right speaker Left speaker • Do not connect both speaker cables to the same L or R terminals. Do not connect more than two speaker terminals to each speaker. Speaker cable Red line side CD receiver Remove the precut insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly. Push the lever to open the hole, insert the bare wire into the hole, and then release the lever. Make sure that the speaker terminals are gripping the bare wires, not the insulation.
Connecting Antennas Connecting FM Antenna Connecting the DAB Antenna This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor FM antenna. The CD receiver won’t pick up any radio signals if no antenna is connected, so you must connect the antenna to use the tuner. If using a DAB antenna, connect it to the same antenna jack as the FM antenna. If an FM antenna is already connected, you'll need to disconnect it.
Connecting Other Components—Continued About Connections Connecting a Powered Subwoofer • Before making any connections, read the manuals supplied with your other components. • Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed and double-checked all connections.
