Thank you for purchasing the Acoustic Research AV100 AM/FM Radio Receiver System with iPod compatibility.
The B or C suffix after the model number indicates a black (B) or cherrywood (C) cabinet. Besides featuring
standard AM and FM radio reception with dedicated antenna input connections, the AV100 also provides an iPod
docking connector for listening to downloaded material from the internet when the iPod mode is selected.
Additional features include AUX 1 and AUX 2 inputs for connection of external devices such as CD and MP3 players
and an audio output jack for connection to an external subwoofer speaker. AM and FM tuning is achieved using the

° rotary
volume control.
