customers’ most requested sounds and basic features. Compact in design,
yet big on sound, the DS-600A is ideal for creating your own personal sound
environment. Taking a few moments to read the following information will
help familiarize you with the features and operation of your new Marsona

DS-600A.

Getting Started

Located on the back panel of the DS-600A is an opening labeled POWER.
Insert the small plug of the power supply into this opening; then plug the
power supply into any standard 110/120 Volt electrical outlet. The DS-600A
can also be operated with batteries (see Installing Batteries); however, we
recommend that you use the power supply whenever possible. It uses very

little electricity and is much

Using the TIMER control is also as simple as the touch of a button. Touching
the timer button will activate the timer for 60 minutes of operation. The small
indicator light to the left of the timer button will illuminate to let you know
the timer has been activated. At the end of 60 minutes, the DS-600A will

on batteries for an extended period of time will diminish battery life resulting
in distorted sound quality.

Installing Batteries

The battery compartment is located on the underside of the DS-600A. Open
the battery compartment door by pushing the locking tab toward the back
of the unit and lifting at the same time. Inside the battery compartment is a
battery holder that is attached to the circuit by red and black wires. Carefully
remove the battery holder and insert four (4) “AA” alkaline batteries (not
included) in the direction of the polarity symbols. Replace the battery holder
in the compartment with the open side of the battery holder facing up (two
batteries showing). Make sure the wires at the end of the battery holder
retract into the opening inside the battery compartment. Replace the battery
compartment door.

designed to provide many years of continuous, trouble-free use. As

always,
