Set radio channel spacing for dual voltage and 120V systems

Dual voltage music centers (which include both 120V and 230V power packs) and 120V
music centers can be set for two types of AM and FM channel spacing.
• Channel spacing for North America is 10 kHz for AM and 200 kHz for FM.
• Channel spacing for Europe is 9 kHz for AM and 50 kHz for FM.
Your dual voltage or 120V music center is factory preset for North American spacing. Select
the channel spacing most appropriate for your area.

To change AM and FM channel spacing:

1. Press OFF to turn off the music system.

2. Press and release the ERASE key under the CD cover. (See Figure 19 on page 19.)

The display indicates US for North American spacing and EU for European spacing.

Turn on the music center

Plug the Acoustimass

module power cord into an AC (mains) outlet. Then plug in the music

center power pack.

Note:

Your speakers will not operate unless you complete all cable and power connections

before turning on the music center.

Note:

If your system will be unattended for a few days, you may want to unplug your music

center to prevent a neighbor’s Lifestyle

remote control or your pets from accidentally turning

it on. In addition, see “Changing the house code settings” on page 24.

You are ready to enjoy your new Lifestyle

system. Refer to the following pages for informa-

tion on operating the music center controls and the Lifestyle

remote control.

Play the Test CD, following the instructions on page 22. Listen to the instructions on the CD
to verify your system setup.
