Insignia NS-STR514  
Stereo Receiver with Bluetooth  
Power cord  
Introduction  
Caution  
Congratulations on your purchase of a high-quality  
Insignia product. Your NS-STR514 represents the  
state of the art in stereo receiver design and is  
designed for reliable and trouble-free performance.  
We recommend that most appliances be placed  
upon a dedicated circuit—a single outlet circuit  
which powers only that appliance and has no  
additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the  
specification page of this manual for power  
requirements.  
Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall  
outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension  
cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked  
wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these  
conditions could result in electric shock or fire.  
Periodically examine your receiver cord, and if its  
appearance indicates damage or deterioration,  
unplug it, discontinue use of your receiver, and have  
the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by  
an authorized service provider.  
Safety information  
Electric shock warning  
CAUTION  
Risk of Electric Shock  
Do Not Open  
Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical  
abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed  
in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to  
plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits  
your receiver.  
The unit remains connected to AC power as long as it  
is plugged into the wall outlet, even if the unit has  
been turned off. To disconnect power from the  
outlet, pull out the plug. When installing your  
receiver, make sure that the plug is easily accessible.  
Warning  
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove  
the cover or back. There are no user-serviceable parts  
inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.  
This lightning flash with arrowhead  
symbol within an equilateral triangle is  
intended to alert the user to the  
presence of uninsulated dangerous  
voltage within your receiver’s enclosure  
that may be of sufficient magnitude to  
constitute a risk of electric shock to  
persons.  
Important safety instructions  
1 Read these instructions.  
2 Keep these instructions.  
3 Heed all warnings.  
4 Follow all instructions.  
5 Do not use this apparatus near water.  
6 Clean only with dry cloth.  
The exclamation point within an  
equilateral triangle is intended to alert  
the user to the presence of important  
operating and maintenance (servicing)  
instructions in the literature  
accompanying your receiver.  
Warning  
7 Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in  
accordance with the manufacturer's  
instructions.  
To prevent fire or electric shock hazard, do not  
expose this receiver to rain or moisture.  
8 Do not install near any heat sources such as  
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other  
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce  
heat.  
9 Do not defeat the safety purpose of the  
polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized  
plug has two blades with one wider than the  
other. A grounding type plug has two blades  
and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or  
the third prong are provided for your safety. If  
the provided plug does not fit into your outlet,  
consult an electrician for replacement of the  
obsolete outlet.  
Caution  
Your receiver should not be exposed to water  
(dripping or splashing) and no objects filled with  
liquids, such as vases, should be placed on your  
receiver.  
Ventilation  
Caution  
Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in  
accordance with these instructions.  
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for  
ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of your  
receiver and to protect it from over-heating.  
The openings should never be blocked by placing  
your receiver on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar  
surface. This receiver should not be placed in a  
built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless  
correct ventilation is provided or these instructions  
have been adhered to.  
10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or  
pinched particularly at plugs, convenience  
receptacles, and the point where they exit from  
the apparatus.  
11 Only use attachments/accessories specified by  
the manufacturer.

avoid injury from tip-over.  
15 To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not  
expose this device to rain, moisture, dripping, or  
splashing, and no objects filled with liquids,  
such as vases, shall be placed on it.  
16 An apparatus with a three-prong,  
grounding-type plug is a Class I apparatus,  
which needs to be grounded to prevent  
possible electric shock. Make sure that you  
connect this Class I device to a grounding-type,  
three-prong outlet.  
13 Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms  
or when unused for long periods of time.  
14 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Your receiver requires space for ventilation. For best  
performance:  
Note  
• Do not install your receiver in an enclosed area.

To improve reception, you may use a 75 Ω outdoor  
antenna instead of an indoor antenna. Disconnect  
the indoor antenna before replacing it with an  
outdoor antenna.  
• Do not place anything on top of your receiver.  
• Make sure that you allow 8 in. (20 cm) of space  
around both sides and the back of your receiver  
and 16 in. (40 cm) above your receiver for correct  
ventilation.

Notes  
Some devices, such as an iPhone, connect  
immediately after pairing so the Bluetooth  
indicator on your receiver stops blinking and

In this instance, the Bluetooth indicator  
continues to blink until a connection is  
established.

eight devices. However, it can only be  
connected and playing content from one device  
at a time.  
When you turn on your receiver, it automatically  
connects to the last connected device if that  
device is in range. To connect to a different  
paired device, you have to turn off Bluetooth or  
unpair from the currently paired device and  
manually connect to the other paired device.
