taking care of your CD player

NOTE

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you
use earphones or 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 safety

Do not wear earphones or headphones while operating a
motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. This can create a traffic
hazard and could be illegal in some areas.
Even though some earphones or headphones let you
hear some outside sounds when listening at normal
volume levels, they still can present a traffic hazard.

listening safely

You can listen to your CD player through your vehicle’s
sound system in three ways:

If your car sound system has a cassette deck, connect the
supplied CD-to-cassette adapter’s plug to the CD player ’s
LINE OUT jack. Then insert the cassette end of the adapter
into your cassette deck just like a standard cassette.
If your car sound system has LINE IN jacks, connect an
optional Y-cable’s 1/8-inch (3.5mm) plug to the CD player’s
LINE OUT jack. Connect the Y-cable’s phono plugs to your
auto sound system’s LINE IN input jacks.
If your car sound system has a CD input jack, connect one
end of a 1/8-inch (3.5mm) stereo patch cable to the CD
player’s LINE OUT jack. Connect the other end to your auto
sound system’s CD INPUT jack. To avoid sound distortion,
set VOL to the lowest comfortable listening level and adjust it
as necessary.

1. Connect a patch cable

(not supplied) from the LINE
OUT jack on the CD player
to the LINE INPUT jacks on a
cassette recorder.

The sound from the CD can

be heard through a pair of
speakers.

2. Connect a patch cable, (not

supplied) from the LINE OUT jack on the CD player to the
AUX or INPUT jacks on a stereo system.
