1. Open the battery compartment door on the bottom of the unit by sliding it out and then lifting it. To prevent the possibility of
losing the cover, it cannot be removed.
2. Insert two (2) “AA” batteries (not included) according to the polarity diagram. Alkaline batteries are recommended for longer playing time.
BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
Follow these precautions when using batteries in this device:
1. Do not mix different types of batteries together (e.g. Alkaline and Carbon-zinc) or old batteries with fresh ones.
2. If the device is not to be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries to prevent damage or injury from possible battery leakage.
3. Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be recharged; they can overheat and rupture. (Follow battery manufacturer’s directions.)

INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)
Playback Through a Home Audio System:
By using a home audio connection cable, superb CD sound can be heard through your home audio system. Before making any connections, turn off the power to all equipment. Plug a connection cable (not included) between the LINE OUT jack on the side of the CD player and the amplier’s CD or AUX input jacks. (Do not connect it to the amplier’s PHONO jacks.) NOTE: If the CD player interferes with TV or radio reception, move the CD player away from the TV or radio or turn off the power to the CD player.
Headphones:
Connect the supplied headphones into the green PHONES (Headphones) jack.
VOLUME Level:
You can adjust the digital volume level from “00” to “32” by pressing the VOLUME UP or DOWN button.
Preset Equalizer:
WHILE A CD IS PLAYING, press the PROG/EQ button to cycle through the EQ settings (NORMAL, CLASSIC, POP, JAZZ and ROCK).
Use your common Sense when using headphones:
• Hearing Safety: Do not play your unit at high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use.
• Traffic Safety: Do not use while operating a motor vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and it is illegal in many areas. You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations. Even if your headset is an open-air type designed to let you hear outside sounds, do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.
