2. Insert 2 size AA fresh alkaline batteries as shown.
NOTE: Player will not work, and batteries will be
drained, if not inserted as shown inside the
3. Close the BATTERY DOOR.
TIPS ON BATTERY USE
Reversing polarities will damage the batteries and possibly your set. Be sure to
follow polarity ( + and - ) as indicated.
Do not mix different types together (Alkaline, Carbon-Zinc, Nickel-Cadmium etc.),
or old batteries with new ones.
When not in use for an extended period of time, or while internal batteries will not
be used, remove them to prevent possible acid leakage or corrosion resulting in
damage to your player.
When the batteries have become discharged, they must be disposed of in a safe
manner that complies with all applicable laws.
Installation of batteries should only be done by an adult (for safety).
ALKALINE BATTERY LIFE
Bear in mind that battery life expectancy is based upon volume and bass listening
levels.
Maximum battery power consumption happens at maximum settings. Typical life
for 2 size AA alkaline batteries is above 8 hours of continuous use for CD play.
Battery Compartment.
WHEN SHOWS IN THE DISPLAY
If the alkaline batteries are weak and discharged, this symbol shows or
flashes in the display, then the power automatically turns off. If this occurs, replace
the alkaline batteries (also if the display does not show anything, the batteries are
dead).
NOTE: You may use rechargeable batteries on this set. However, because
rechargeable batteries generally have lower voltage (1.2 volts instead of
1.5 volts). Your playing time will be much less than normal fresh alkaline
batteries.
AC Adaptor (optional)
You can also power this CD player by connecting an optional AC adaptor.
Before you buy an AC Adaptor, please note, the only AC ADAPTOR suitable for this player
is DC 4.5V 700mA (or greater mA), with plus center polarity . Others may damage
the player. Please check voltage & current (mA) before buying an AC ADAPTOR.

ESP PLUSTM ANTI-SKIP SYSTEM
This set is designed with the latest 60 second ESP PLUS
for CD play and 120 second for MP3 - which allows virtually unlimited gentle skip
protection above the normal shock protection.
The ESP PLUSTM function prevents the sound from skipping by using a buffer memory
that stores music data. This new ESP PLUSTM system can store more music than
normal anti-skip systems.
This new design allows gentle swaying of the set (as in walking) without music skipping.
This function may not work during heavy jogging.
The ESP PLUSTM function will turn on automatically when the
PLAY/PAUSE button is pressed.
When the PLAY/PAUSE button is pressed, the (memory
basket) indicator will appear in the display, the digital data
(music) is stored in the read-ahead memory buffer before
it is decoded and played.
The mark changes to the mark, indicating that the
memory buffer (basket) is full.
If the set is subject to a shock or a bump during play, the
data stored in memory continues to be decoded and played.
This gives the pickup time to stabilize and continue
reading new music. As the data is used from memory, the
indicator changes from to . Once the pickup
returns to its original position, new data is stored in memory
and the display changes back to the mark.
If the set is subject to repeated shocks and all the data
stored in memory is used up, the mark is displayed
and the sound will skip or stop for a brief period until the
memory basket has time to fill up again.

Basic Introduction to MP3
MP3 files are music files which have been compressed into the MP3 format. The
CD-96 plays MP3 files which have been written onto a CD disc.
The first thing you will need is an IBM
compatible PC computer (at least
Pentium class) or an apple computer (at
least G3 class) with lots of RAM and a
CD-R or CD-RW writer. Then you will
need some software. (Either it is in your
new computer already or you may have
to buy this from MusicMatch or a similar
company. You may go to the Website
www. musicmatch.com or www.nero.com.
To play MP3 files on this player, you will
need to make (record) a disc with your
MP3 files on them.
We recommend you get some books or
information on the Web to help you learn
this exciting new way to store & play
hundreds of songs in MP3 format. Also
you may search the web for MP3 and
you will immediately find a world of
information and songs.
NOTE: Most audio CD players cant play
MP3 files, the CD-96 can play
both MP3 and normal music files
but not if they are mixed on one CD.
NOTE: This set will not play WMA music files.
To download an MP3 file (song) from a
website (like www.mp3.com), go to http:
//www.mp3.com and you can find a
search link at the top of the homepage
that allows you to search for MP3 files.
Input a key word and click on that link
and you will find many songs by many
new artists. To download an MP3 file,
click on software, then get MP3 link or
newer software, register and click on
download. We recommend you make a
new folder for your MP3 files.
You will also need blank CDs that are
recordable, these are called CD-R or
CD-RW (CD-R discs can be recorded
on only once, CD-RW can be erased
and rewritten or re-recorded but are
more expensive.)
This player will play most MP3 formats.
Some formats (like WMA) or some
non-standard sampling rates may not
be supported or play.
Successful recording of a CD needs an
uninterrupted stream of high speed data.
For best results, limit or close your other
programs on the computer while
recording to prevent buffer underruns
or empty spots on the disc.
You can play MP3 songs on most new
computers or you can highlight them for
downloading & burning (recording)
them onto a CD later. Note your CD-96
will play MP3 songs which end in the
extension .MP3 (dot MP3 only). You
can select how to save a file, select .MP3
as the correct extension on your
computer. Do not save the file with other
extensions like .txt)
If you want to convert your existing
records or tapes to MP3 discs, you will
need to record them using a sound card.
You will also need software such as
MusicMatch or RealJukebox and a set
of audio cables to connect your tape
player to your sound card.
If you want to record MP3 files from
music CDs, first rip the music onto
the hard disc. Ripping is much faster
than recording.
Titles and song names can be viewed
by the text display of your CD-96. But
in most cases above, you will need to
enter the names of the songs. Also, if
you put all songs in one album, it may
be difficult for you to locate a particular
song. We recommend several albums
on a single CD with each album
containing multiple songs. CDDB
(www.cddb.com) is a database which
can help you name songs and artists
and has useful information on latest
songs and artists.
MP3 opens a whole new world of music
to you. Learn about this exciting new
format and enjoy.

General Information
1.Usually, you must write your own MP3 disc on your computers CD writer. Or, you
may buy pre-recorded MP3 discs from on line sources.
2.When saving songs (audio files) onto your CD-R (or CD-RW), you must save them
as .MP3 (DOT MP3) files. Do not save them as .DOC, .TEXT or .PDF etc when
downloading, converting or saving files as MP3 files.
3.Do not save TEXT files as .MP3 files because they will not play and they may
interfere with the set.
4.Do not attempt to combine normal CD audio tracks and MP3 tracks onto one CD
because the set will only recognize the audio tracks and only play those.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the lens
A dirty lens will cause sound skipping. If
the lens is very dirty, the player may not
work. We suggest using a special cleaning
disk (not included) available in most music
and Hi-Fi stores. However, if you do not
have one, you may use a cotton swab
very slightly dampened with alcohol to
clean the lens.
Cleaning the cabinet
Wipe with a soft cloth. If the cabinet is
very dirty, dampen (not dripping wet) the
cloth with a weak solution of soapy water,
and then wipe clean.
Cleaning the Discs
Fingerprints should be carefully wiped
from the surface of disc with a soft cloth.
Unlike conventional records, compact
discs have no grooves to collect dust
and microscopic dirt, so gently wiping
them with a soft cloth should remove
most particles. Wipe in a straight
motion from the center to the edge.
Handling Compact Discs
Dirty, scratched or warped discs may
cause skipping or noise.
Handle the disc only by the edges. To
keep clean, do not touch its surface.
Discs should be stored in their cases
after use to avoid scratches.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight,
high humidity, high temperatures, or
dust, etc. Prolonged exposure to
extreme temperatures can warp the disc
(such as leaving the discs in your car
during summertime).
Do not stick or write anything on either
side of disc. Sharp writing instruments, or
the inks used in some felt-tip pens, may
damage its surface.
To remove the Disc
Open the CD DOOR by sliding the DOOR
OPEN button, hold the disc by the edge
while slightly pressing on the center
spindle as illustrated, then lift it from the
edge to release and remove.
Never use thinner, benzine, record
cleaner or antistatic spray on a compact
disc. Such chemicals can damage its
plastic surface.
NOTE
Always press STOP button and wait for
the disc to stop rotating before sliding the
DOOR OPEN button to remove the disc.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not take the set apart. The laser beam used in the set may harm your eyes. Refer
servicing to qualified service personnel only.
Do not insert pins or coins, clips, or any objects inside the set.
This set is equipped with a safety device which automatically turns the laser beam off
when the CD DOOR is opened.
Do not drop the set or subject it to strong shocks. Doing so could result in damage.
Do not place the set in locations where the temperature is high, or in humid or dusty
locations, or locations with long heavy vibrations, or tilted surfaces.
The sets cabinet may warp or the set may be damaged if it is placed in direct sunlight,
near heaters (where the temperature is 1400F/600C or higher) or in cars with the
windows closed. In the summer, the temperature may get as high as 2120F/1000C or
more.
Use the set within a temperature range of 410F/50C to 950F/350C.
Use ONLY the optional DC 4.5V AC ADAPTOR with plus center polarity ,
others may damage your set. Disconnect the ADAPTOR from the wall outlet when the
set is not to be used for an extended period of time (3 days or more).
When cleaning your set, use a soft dry cloth. Do not use solvents or commercially
available cleaners, as they may damage or discolor the finish.
Do not wear headphones while operating a motor vehicle. This could create a traffic
hazard and is illegal in many areas. Do not use this set when bicycling or running.
The headphones supplied with your set provide superb stereo listening while allowing
you to hear some outside sounds when listening at normally low volume levels. Listening
at extremely high volume levels minimizes the intrusion of outside noise/sounds. In the
interest of safety, it is strongly advised against the use while engaging in activities
where the exclusion of external sounds (whistles, horns, sirens, traffic, etc.) could be
hazardous. Also loud volume can hurt your ears. Discontinue use or lower the volume.
If you notice that the sound has become weak or distorted or if tracks do not change,
this is an indication that your batteries are weak. Replace both batteries at the same
time (see Using with Batteries).
Your CD-96 is identified by a serial number located on the bottom of the set. Record
this number in the space provided below.
Model CD-96 Serial No.
This manual contains detailed information on its safety and use. Please read it carefully
so that you may take full advantage of its many features, and ensure a safe reliable
operation. Keep this manual for future reference.
Date Purchased:
CONDENSATION
If cold water is poured into a glass, water droplets form on the outside of the glass. This is
called condensation. Condensation may occur on internal operating parts of the lens.
Condensation occurs:
When the set is brought from the cold outdoors into a warm room, or if it is in a cold
room to a room which is heated, or in the summer, if the set is moved from an airconditioned room or car to a hot or humid location.
Should condensation occur, the set may not operate properly. Open the CD DOOR
and wait for about 20 minutes (to allow the internal parts to adjust to the surrounding
temperature) before using the set.
