force it! Turn the plug over and try
again.
• Connecting the power cord to the
CD-3322 automatically disconnects the internal D batteries.
Using Vehicle Battery Power
You can power the CD-3322 from your
vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket by
converting your vehicle’s DC power to
115V AC using an optional DC-to-AC
inverter, such as RadioShack Cat. No.

Using Headphones
To listen without disturbing others, you
can connect a pair of 1/8-inch plug stereo headphones (not supplied) to the
CD-3322. Y our local RadioShack store
sells a wide selection of stereo headphones.
To connect headphones, plug the
headphones’ 1/8-inch plug into the
PHONES jack on the back of the CD-
3322.
illustration
Note: Connecting headphones automatically disconnects the CD-3322’s
speakers.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use headphones.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening.
After you begin listening, adjust
the volume to a comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high
volume levels. Extended high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not
increase it. Over time, your ears
adapt to the volume level, so a
volume level that does not cause
discomfort might still damage your
hearing.
Traffic S a fety
Do not wear headphones while operat-
ing a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle.
This can create a traffic hazard and
could be illegal in some areas.
Even though some headphones let
you hear some outside sounds wh en
listening at normal volume level s, they
still can present a traffic hazard.

CD and CD Player Care Tips
Although a CD is very durable, you
should handle it with care. We recom mend the following precautions.
• Keep the CD in its protective case
or sleeve when you a re not playing it.
• Keep the CD clean. Your local
RadioShack store sells a suitable
CD cleaner kit.
• Keep the CD dry. A drop of moisture can act as a lens and affect
the laser beam’s focus. If it gets
wet, wipe the CD with a soft, dry
cloth before playing it.
• Do not write on either side of a
CD, especially the non-label side.
• Handle the CD by its edges to
avoid fingerprints and surface
scratches, which can prevent the
laser from accurately reading the
CD. If the CD gets sc ratched, use
Scratch ’n Fix (RadioShack Cat.
No. 42-127) to keep the CD from
skipping during play.
Cautions:
• To avoid damagi ng the CD player,
do not place anything but a CD in
the CD compartment.
• Remove any loaded CD from the
CD compartment before moving
the system to avoid damaging the
CD.
• Moving the CD-3322 suddenly
from a cold place to a warmer one
can cause moisture to form on the
CD player’s pickup lens and disrupt operation. If this happens,
unplug the CD-3322, then wait
about an hour before plugging it
back in and playing a CD.
• Do not store CDs in high-temperature, high-humidity locations.
If the CD-3322 is subjected to a sudden shock or jolt during play, the CD’s
rotation speed might suddenly change,
and the music might be briefly interrupted. This is not a malfunction.

radio or CD player.
Note: You cannot operate the cassette
deck using the remote control.

Recording a Cassette Tape
Notes:
• The CD-3322’s Automatic Level
Control (ALC) feature automatically adjusts the recording level.
The settings of VOLUME, EBASS, BALANCE, and the preset
equalizer settings have no effect
on the recording.
• Tape quality greatly affects the
quality of the recording. We recommend regular length (60- or 90minute) cassette tapes. We do not
recommend long-play cassette
tapes, such as C-120s, because
they are thin and can easily tangle
in the cassette mechanism. For
low-noise, wide-range recordings,
use normal-bias tape.
• Before recording, be sure the cassette tape’s erase-protection tabs
are in place. See “Preventing
Accidental Erasure” on Page 29.
Recording from the Radio
Follow these steps to record onto a
cassette tape from any AM or FM radio
station.

Tape Tips
Erasing a Cassette Tape
To record over a cassette tape, simply record over the previous recording. To erase
the entire cassette tape, select a function with no audio (such as CD with no CD
playing) and let the tape record to the end.
Note: The tape you are recording over must be a normal bias-type tape.
To quickly erase a tape, you might prefer to use a bulk tape eraser (available at your
local RadioShack store).
Preventing Accidental Erasure
Cassette tapes have two erase-protection tabs — one for each side.
To protect a re cording from being accidentally recorded over or erased, carefully
break off that side’s plastic tab with a screwdriver.
illustrat io n
29
Page 30
14-547 .fm Page 30 We dnesday, June 30, 1999 4:23 PM
If you break off a tab and decide later that you want to record on that side of the tape,
carefully cover that side’s tab hole with a piece of adhesive tape.
Caution: Removing the eras e-protection tape does not prevent a bulk eraser from
erasing a cassette tape.
Restoring Tape Tension and Sound Quality
After you play a cassette tape several times, the tape might become tightly wound
on the reels. This can cause playback sound quality to deteriorate.
To restore t he s oun d quality, fast-forward the tap e from the begi nning t o t he en d of
one side, then completely rewind it. Then loosen the tape reels by gently tapping
each side of the cassette’s outer shell on a flat surface.
Caution: Be careful not to damage the ca ssette when tapping it. Do not touch the
exposed tape or allow any sharp objects near the cassette.
