structions.”

CONNECTING THE
SPEAKERS

Attaching the Speakers

To attach the supplied speakers to the
CD-3319, slide each speaker down
into the grooves on each side of the
CD-3319 until it clicks.

To detach each speaker, press and
hold the speaker’s locking la tch away
from the CD-3319, then lift the speak­er straight up.

Place the speakers so the distance
between them is the same as the dis­tance between the listening area and
a point halfway between the speakers.
If the distance between the speakers
is greater, you can improve the stereo
effect by angling the speakers in to­ward the listening area.

To increase the bass effect, place the
speakers in corners, against the wall,
or directly on the floor. To decrease
the bass effect, move the speakers
slightly away from the wall, or raise
them 6 or more inches off the floor.
You can purch ase speaker stands at
your local Radio Shack store.

: If you want to con nect speak ers

other than the supplied ones, use
speakers with an impedance of 4
ohms.
