CONNECTING THE AC POWER CORD
After connecting the speakers unwind the AC power cord fully and connect it to any convenient household AC outlet.
NOTE:
This product is designed to operate on normal 120V 60Hz AC only. Connecting this system to any other power supply could result in damage to the unit which is not covered by your warranty. You will note that this system is equipped with a polarized AC power plug having one blade wider than the other. This is a safety feature. If this plug does not fit into your existing AC outlet, do not try to defeat this s afety feature by filing the wide blade to make it fit into your outlet. If this plug will not fit into your outl et, you probably have an out­dated non-polarized AC outlet. You should have your outlet changed by a qualified licensed electrician.

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 cleaning 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.

If your normal listening position is closer to one of the two speakers, rotate this control to the left or to the ri ght until the volume from both of the speakers sounds the same at your normal listening position.
FM Mono/Hi-Speed Dubbing “ON /OFF ” Selector
This button is used to select between the FM STEREO and FM MONO operation modes (It is also used to select either Normal Speed or High Speed tapepe dubbing.) To receive FM Stereo broadcasts this switch must be set to the STEREO
position. However if you are listening to a dis tant or weak FM Stereo station and reception is unsatisfactory, setting the selector to the FM MONO position may provide some improvement.
PHONES Jack
The Stereo Headphone Jack is located on the left front panel. Connect a set of stereo headphones (not included) to this jack for private listening without di sturbing others. The speakers are automatically disconnec ted when headphones are connected to the headphone jack.
IMPORTANT: When us ing headphones always set the volume control to a low level before you put the headphones on. Then put the headphones on and gradually increas e the volume to a comfortable listening level.

PLAYING COMPACT DISCS
IMPORTANT: This CD player can play normal CDs plus CD-R and CD-RW discs. However the playability of CD-R/RW discs may be affected by the type of software that was used in ‘ripping’ the tracks from the original discs and ‘burning’ the tracks onto the blank media. Playability may also be affected by the quality and condition of the blank media you use for recording. 100% compatibility cannot be guaranteed. This is not an indication of any problems
with your player.
This system features a carousel type 3-CD changer which can provide you with up to 3 hours of uninterrupted music playback. You may load up to 3 CDs in the changer for continuous playback, or you may program up to 32 tracks among all 3 discs to be played back in the specific order you select.

COVER OPENING WITH TAPE
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
ABOUT CASSETTE TAPES
Whenever you record on a cassette any previously recorded material is erased as the new material is recorded. To prevent you from accidentally erasing material which you wish to save, blank cassettes are equipped with erase prevention tabs for each s ide of the tape. If the erase prevention tab for side A is removed, you cannot accidentally record on side A. The Record key cannot be depressed if the erase prevention tab on the cassette has been removed.
To prevent accidental erasing on side A of a cassette use a small screw driver or similar tool to break off the erase prevention tab for side A. This prevents the record key from locking.
A
TAB FOR SIDE A.
BREAK OFF TO PREVENT RECORDING
IN ORDER TO RECORD AGAIN.
A
If later you do wish to record on side A of the cassette, cover the tab opening with a piece of cellophane tape. This will allow the Record key to function again.
CASSETTE CARE
Two common causes of trouble experienced when using cassettes are:
1.)Tape jamming — Leading to uneven speed in playback, and
2.)Tape tangling — Where the tape wraps itself around vital parts of the mechanism.
To reduc e the likelihood of these problems occurring, the following precautions should be observed:
• Check that there are no loose layers of tape visible
through the cassette center window (see Fig. 1). Take up any loose layers, using a pencil or hexagonal barrelled bal lpoint pen, before in serting the cassette into the machine (see Fig. 2).
25
Page 27
• If the cassette feels “tight” while performing operation
shown (see Fig. 2), the tape may be jamming due to “ridges” formed in the winding of the tape (vis ible through the center window). These may be removed, in most cases, by fast winding of the cassette from one end to the other and back agai n.
Fig. 2
• Use only well-known brands of tape. Avoid use of C-120 cassettes.
Furthermore, do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, dust or oil, and do not touch the tape surfaces.
HEAD CLEANING
The tape heads, pinch roller and capstan require periodic cleani ng. This removes particles of the metal oxide coating that wear off the tape and accumulate on these parts and impair performance. Swi tch off the power, press the Stop/Eject key to open the cassette door, and press the Play key. Clean the tape heads, pinch roller and capstan with a soft cl oth or cotton pad dampened in isopropyl alcohol or special tape head cleaner.

COMPACT DISC CARE
• To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case
and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.
• Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc’s recorded surface
with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional records, compact discs have no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping with a soft cloth should remove most particles. Wipe in a straight line from the insi de to the outside of the disc. Small dust particles and light stains will have absolutely no effect on reproduction quality.
• Clean the disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents
or abrasive cleaners to clean the disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.
• Never write on or affix labels to the surface of compact discs.
CARE OF THE CABINETS
• If the cabinets become dusty wipe them with a soft dry dust cloth. Do not use
any wax or polish sprays on the cabinets.
• If the front panel becomes dirty or smudged with fingerprints it may be cleaned
with a soft cloth slightly dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Never use abrasive cloths or polishes as these will mar the finish of your unit.
Caution: Nev er allow any water or other liquids to get inside the unit while cleaning.
