Introduction

Welcome to your Compact Disc
Changer owner’s manual. This man­ual was designed for you. When
looking through it, it will help you to
keep several things in mind.

One, this manual is divided into four
sections. The Getting Started section
guides you through the initial setup
of your Compact Disc Changer. The

Operating Your Compact Disc
Changer section shows you all of the

controls of the Compact Disc
Changer and remote control and
guides you through the simple oper­ations of your Compact Disc
Changer. The Doing More section
guides you through the more
advanced features of your Compact
Disc Changer. Finally, the
Information You May Need section
provides information you may or
may not need – the warranty, for
example, and trouble checks.

Two, the instructions follow a simple
format. Detailed steps explaining
operations are on the outside edges
of pages. Illustrations accompanied
by brief steps explaining operations
are on the inside edges of pages.
Additional information can be found
in boxes labeled NOTES, which are
along the lower edges of pages.

Finally, never be afraid to try a fea­ture! You cannot hurt your

Compact Disc Changer by trying
any of the features in this manual!

So read on – and relax.

• Before doing anything else, record the
Compact Disc Changer’s model and
serial numbers in the spaces provided
on page two. These numbers will help
us assist you if you ever call for help.

Specifications

The Compact Disc Changer is an example of superior design and craftsman­ship. The following suggestions will help you care for the Compact Disc
Changer so that you can enjoy it for years.

● Use a soft cloth to wipe the disc. Wipe the disc

in a straight line from the center to the edge.

● Wipe the Compact Disc Changer with a damp-

ened cloth to keep it looking new. Do not use
harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong
detergents to clean the Compact Disc Changer.

● Keep the Compact Disc Changer dry. If it gets wet, dry it immediately.

Liquids can contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

● Handle the Compact Disc Changer gently and carefully. Dropping it can

damage circuit boards and can cause the product to work improperly.

● Use and store the Compact Disc Changer only in normal temperature envi-

ronments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices,
damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

● Keep the Compact Disc Changer away from dust and dirt.

● Modifying or tampering with the Compact Disc Changer’s internal compo-

nents can cause a malfunction and might invalidate the warranty.
