Thank you.........
For purchasing this Emerson Personal CD Player. It has a 24 track programmable
memory so you can listen to the songs on your favorite CD's in any order you
choose. Or you can use the Random playback feature and let the player select the
playback order for you. Use the 3-way Repeat feature to repeat a single track, the
entire disc, or a programmed sequence of tracks, indefinitely. We've also included
a 45 Second Electronic Anti-Skip Memory which makes this player virtually skip-
free under normal circumstances.
There's a Dynamic Bass Boost Control that increases and enhances the bass
response, and a set of lightweight stereo headphones that are so comfortable you
may forget you have them on. And finally, this player not only plays all professionally
recorded commercial CD's, but it plays recordable CD's (CD-R music discs) and
rewriteable CD's (CD-RW music discs) as well. So if you or your friends are "burning"
your own CD's on your computer CD-R drives, or on home audio type CD recorders,
you can be sure that they are playable on the CD Cruiser personal CD player from
Emerson.
Please read this instruction manual completely and carefully to make sure you
understand the proper operation of this product, and get the maximum enjoyment
out of all the features of this state-of-the-art CD player.
Once again, thanks for purchasing this Emerson product.
The serial number of your CD player can be found on the bottom cabinet. We

ELECTRONIC ANTI-SKIP PROTECTION
This CD player is equipped with an automatic 45 second Electronic Anti-Skip
Memory and an Anti-Rolling Mechanism that will eliminate virtually all skipping
under normal conditions. When you press the PLAY/PAUSE
button to begin
playback the player immediately begins to store 45 seconds of music in a solid
state memory that is impervious to shock. The player is always reading the disc
45 seconds ahead of the music you are hearing and storing that information in
the memory. If the player is subjected to shock or bumps of less than 45 seconds
duration you will not notice them at all. If the bumps last longer than 45 seconds
the anti-skip memory may be depleted and the player may skip or stop.
When playback begins the Anti-Skip indicator comes on and a series of "bars"
appear in the display. When all 5 "bars" appear the Anti-Skip memory
contains 45 seconds of music and is "full". If the player is bumped or shaken the
"bars" may start to disappear as the memory is depleted. If all 5 "bars"
disappear the memory is empty and the player may skip if the bumps continue.
When the bumps stop the memory starts to fill up again and all 5 "bars" will
reappear.
CONNECTION TO AN EXTERNAL AUDIO SYSTEM
You can connect this CD player to a home stereo system, receiver, amplifier, or
recorder if desired. Connect the LINE OUT jack of this CD player to the Left/Right
Auxiliary Inputs, Line Inputs, or Record Inputs of the external device. The connection
cable is NOT included. Set the DBBS(Bass Boost) switch of this CD player to the
OFF position. Be sure to follow the external source connection instructions for

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE CABINET
Wipe with a soft cloth. If the cabinet is very dirty, dampen the cloth with a weak
solution of neutral detergent and water, and then wipe clean.
CLEANING THE LENS
A dirty lens will cause sound skipping and, if the lens is
very dirty, the CD may not work. Open the disc cover
and clean the lens as follows:
DUST OR DRY PARTICLES
Using a camera lens brush/blower, blow on the lens
several times, then wipe it lightly with the brush to
remove dust. Then, blow on the lens once more.
FINGERPRINTS
To remove fingerprints from the lens, use a cotton swab
starting in the middle and working to the outside edge.
Use only very light pressure on the lens to avoid forcing
it out of alignment.
CLEANING THE DISC
When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the disc from the center out.
NOTE: Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner; commercially available
cleaners or anti-static spray intended for analog discs.
