AV100 Operation
Preoperational Considerations
Prior to operation, perform the following steps:
1. Remove the protective film from the battery compartment of the remote control.
2. Connect the power and antenna cables to the AV100 as outlined previously.
3. Apply line power to the AV100 by pressing the line power rocker switch on the rear of the unit to the on (I)
position; the mode LEDs flash on for 2 seconds and then go out. The AV100 is now in the standby mode.
4. Press the POWER button on the top of the unit or on the remote control to turn the unit on; the last
operating mode in effect prior to shutdown is indicated by the blue LED on top of the unit, unless the
AV100 is being turned on for the first time.
Note: Despite a low degree of energy consumption in the standby mode, it is recommended that the line
switch be set to the off (O) position if the AV100 is not going to be used for a prolonged period.
5. Select an input source using the MODE button.
Note: If an external subwoofer is to be incorporated into the AV100 system, connect the subwoofer to the
SUB OUT plug at the rear of the unit using an RCA cable with a male RCA jack.
Using the Radio
1. FM Operation: With the supplied FM antenna connected to the FM ANTENNA jack at the rear of the unit,
press the MODE switch so the blue FM indicator is lit. Set the FM radio to the desired station using the
upper tuning knob dial, and adjust the volume to the desired listening level. If headphones are to be used,
connect them to the headphones jack ( ) at the front of the unit.
2. AM Operation: With the supplied AM antenna connected to the AM ANTENNA jack at the rear of the unit,
press the MODE switch so the blue AM indicator is lit. Set the AM radio to the desired station using the
bottom tuning knob dial, and adjust the volume to the desired listening level. If headphones are to be used,
connect them to the headphones jack ( ) at the front of the unit.
Using the AUX Inputs
1. AUX 1 Input: If an external audio source is to be used, such as MP3 player, etc., connect the device to
the AUX 1 input at the front of the unit using a 3.5mm male stereo plug.
2. AUX 2 Input: If an external audio source such as a CD player or other compatible device is to be used,
connect the device to the AUX 2 L and R plugs using an RCA cable with male RCA jacks.
Using the iPod Dock
1. Remove the protective cover from the
iPod system connector bay.
2. Choose the compatible adapter/holder
for your iPod model and install it in the bay.
Note: The AV100 comes equipped with an
iPod adapter installed in place in the iPod
bay, plus an additional adapter if needed.
Most iPods come with their own (original)
adapters which can also be used if necessary.
3. Install the iPod carefully onto the iPod
connector and press down lightly until the
iPod bottoms into the recess. The iPod will
