Thank you… … … … … …
for purchasing this Emerson stereo clock radio with CD player and Power Panel
CD loading system. The motorized front panel rotates 90 degrees at the touch of a
button to make loading and unloading your CDs simple and easy. The Power Panel
loading system also means that this radio takes up less space on the bedside table
than other radios with drawer type CD loading systems.
In addition to the excellent sound from both the radio and the CD player this unit
also features a digital radio frequency display to make tuning your favorite stations
easier. There’s an automatic display dimmer that adjusts the brightness of the
clock and radio display to matc h the room lighting conditions. And there’s a twoway snooze control to make it easier to grab those few extra minutes of sleep. You
can press the snooze button as usual or, if that’s too much of a task while you’re
half-asleep, you can just wave your hand in front of the radio to activate the snooze
function.
Of course there’s a battery back up system to maintain your clock and alarm settings
in the event of a power interruption. And on model CKD2330 we’ve even included
a credit card size, 10-button remote control so you can switch the unit On and Off,
operate the CD functions, and adjust the volume from across the room.
This system was designed to give you many years of enjoyment with an absolute
minimum of care and maintenance. Please read this Owners Manual carefully and
completely to ensure that you get the maximum benefit from all the outstanding
features we have included in this product. If you encounter any problem with the
set up or operation of this model please do not return it to the retail store. Please
call the Emerson Customer Service Hotline toll free at 1-800-898-9020. One of
our service technicians will try to diagnose the problem for you.
Once again thanks for choosing this Emerson audio product.
For future reference, record the serial number in the space provided.

PREPARATION FOR USE
UNPACKING AND SETUP
• Carefully remove the main unit and the accessories from the display
carton. Remove all the packing material from the unit and verify that
you have the following items: Main unit, external AM antenna, and
remote control (for model CKD2330 only).
• Carefully remove any small strips of tape that may have been used to
prevent the Power Panel from moving in transit.
• Unwind the AC power cord and extend it to its full length.
• Unwind the lead wire FM antenna and extend it to its full length.
• This unit was shipped with a dummy CD transit card in the CD player.
This dummy CD prevents the laser pick up from moving during
shipment. This card must be removed before you can insert your own
CDs. However in order to remove the card the unit must be connected
to the AC outlet and the Power Panel must be opened electronically.
Please refer to the instructions on page 18 of this manual.
TO AVOID DAMAGING YOUR UNIT DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
MANUALLY OPEN THE POWER PANEL.
• Place the unit on a flat, level surface such as a table, desk, counter,
shelf, etc, convenient to a 120V 60 Hz AC outlet, out of direct sunlight,
and away from sources of excess heat, dust, moisture, or strong magnetic
fields.

External AM Antenna
This unit utilizes an external AM loop antenna instead of a built in ferrite bar antenna.
1.) Insert the small white plug from the AM loop antenna into the AM antenna jack
on the back of the radio. The plug can only be inserted one way.
2.) Attach the AM loop antenna to the antenna bracket on the back of the radio as
shown.

3.) Adjust the angle of the loop antenna until you find the position that provides the
best AM reception.
Note: If you find that AM reception is still unsatisfactory you can remove
the loop antenna from the antenna mounting bracket and attach it to the
wall with a thumbtack or small nail through the “keyhole” opening on the
antenna frame.

Battery Back Up System
This model includes a battery back up circuit that will maintain the clock and alarm
settings in the event of a temporary power interruption. The battery back up system
requires two “AA” batteries, not included. The battery compartment is located on
the bottom of the cabinet.
1.) Turn the radio upside down. Slide the battery door in the direction of the arrow
and remove the door.
2.) Insert two fresh “AA” alkaline batteries in the compartment. Be sure to observe
the polarity markings engraved in the compartment. If the batteries are inserted
incorrectly the back up system will not work.
3.) Replace the battery door and turn the radio right side up.
If the power is interrupted the display will go off and the radio will not work. However
the batteries will maintain the clock and alarm settings in memory. When the power
is restored the display will come on again and the clock and alarm settings will be
correct.
The life of the batteries will depend on the frequency and length of the power
interruptions that you experience. For best results we suggest you install fresh
batteries every 9 to 12 months. Always change both batteries together with a wellknown brand of alkaline batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries, or different
types of batteries such as alkaline and carbon-zinc batteries together.

Remote Control (Model CKD2330 Only)
Model CKD2330 includes a credit card size 10-button remote control that allows
you to operate the CD player, control the volume, and switch the system ‘On’ and
‘Off’ from across the room. The remote control operates on one, button-style lithium
battery (Type CR2032 or equivalent), included. We have placed a clear plastic
spacer between the battery and the battery contact plate so that the battery will
remain fresh until you are ready to use the remote. Pull on the end of the spacer
tab to remove the spacer from the remote and activate the battery.
Spacer
To use the remote control point the remote at the remote sensor on the front panel
of the radio and press the appropriate buttons on the remote. The effective operating
range of the remote is approximately 15 feet at an angle of no more than 15
degrees to the left or right of ‘dead center’.
When the remote control no longer works or the operation becomes intermittent it
is time to change the battery. Press downward on the locking tab and slide the
battery holder out of the remote as shown.
Remove the exhausted CR2032
battery from the holder, insert a fresh
battery into the holder with the “+” side
facing up, and slide the holder back
into the remote.

IMPORTANT BATTERY PRECAUTIONS:
• Do not leave the exhausted battery lying around where a child or pet might
play with or swallow it.
• If the battery is swallowed contact a physician immediately.
• Do not attempt to open the battery and do not dispose of the battery in a
fire.
PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE !!
This model is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' to prevent the product from
moving when you operate the controls. These 'feet' are made from non-migrating
rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your
furniture. However certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood preservatives,
or c leaning sprays may cause the rubber 'feet' to soften, and leave marks or a
rubber residue on the furniture. To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly
recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware
stores and home improvement centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the
bottom of the rubber 'feet' before you place the product on fine wooden furniture.

AC Outlet
POWER SOURCE
This radio is designed to operate on 120V 60Hz AC only. Attempting to operate
this radio on any other power source could cause damage to the unit and such
damage is not covered by your warranty.
Make sure the radio is connected to an AC outlet that is always “live”. Do not
connect the radio to an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch.
NOTE: This unit has a polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow
blade. This plug will only fit into a matching polarized AC outlet. This is a s afety
feature to reduce the possibility of electric shock. If this plug will not fit in your AC
outlet, you probably have an outdated non-polarized outlet. You should have your
outdated outlet changed by a qualified, licensed electrician. Do not file the wide
blade on the plug, or use an adapter to make the plug fit into your outlet. This
defeats the safety feature and could expose you to electric shock.
